November is National Diabetes Month! Let's raise awareness and take control of our health!

Did you know that over 34 million people in the United States have Diabetes?🙀🙀

This November, let's come together to spread awareness about this chronic condition and empower ourselves with knowledge and healthy habits.

You can join to support National Diabetes Month by promoting healthy lifestyle.
Encourage your loved ones to adopt a balanced diet, engage in regular physical activity and maintain a healthy weight.

Remember, small changes can have a big impact on preventing diabetes. Together we can do this🙏

If you don’t like the taste of sweet, crunchy, raw bell peppers, grill, saute or roast them and throw them in a quesadilla or grilled sandwich/panini! You can also toss them into pasta salads, bean salads, or in your morning omelet.

Stateside we say eggplant. However, many cultures across the ocean refer to this tasty veggie as aubergine.

For many, the texture of eggplant can be a bit strange and off-putting if you’re not accustomed to eating it. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Eggplant is an excellent source of fiber, vitamin B1, and copper-- but unfortunately, it’s not incorporated into many of our diets here in the United States.

If you haven’t been a fan, give eggplant another shot. My favorite way to eat it is layered with other veggies, a hearty tomato sauce, and a generous topping of cheese. You can also try baba ganoush, a Mediterranean eggplant and tahini dip, similar to hummus! I’ll add a recipe below, but store-bought is also fine ;)

Moisturize your hands and arms—take the time to massage your fingers, arms, and cuticles.

If you’re not fond of the feeling of lotion, opt for a light, fast-absorbing oil, like jojoba or sesame, and just use a few drops.

Nothing says summer like a cool, crisp cucumber on a hot day. These guys are super versatile and bring a nice crunch to anything you’re making.

They also make for a delicious addition to a sandwich and hold up well for pickling.

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables, and asparagus season is the BEST season, in my humble opinion.

If you haven’t tried it yet, throw your asparagus in a hot oven (about 425 degrees for 15 minutes) or on a grill, then drizzle olive oil, lemon juice, and a generous sprinkling of sea salt.

If you have leftovers (which is unlikely), throw them into an omelet with some cheese the next morning.

Aside from a great delivery mechanism for peanut butter, cream cheese, or your favorite dip, celery’s excellent for adding crunch to lots of dishes. Chop some up and add it to your egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, potato salad, or bean salad!

Cauliflower has quickly become a favorite in the gluten-free community because of its ability to transform into anything from pizza crust to rice.

On top of its versatility, cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C, K, and B6 as well as choline, fiber, omega-3, and biotin!

There are thousands of cauliflower recipes on the Internet, but start with these for inspiration: https://bzfd.it/2J7GrAS

Don’t underestimate peas just because they’re small!

A cup of peas has 8 grams of protein, and they’re also packed with fiber! Because of their mild, sweet taste and cheap price tag, they’re super easy to incorporate into lots of dishes.

Try throwing them in with mac and cheese, potato salad, rice, stews, soups or anything else that could use a touch of green.

Ask any chef, and they’ll likely agree that onions are a necessary base ingredient in most dishes, so they’re hard to escape if you don’t like the taste of them!

If you’re looking for a way to introduce them to your palate in a yummy way, try them caramelized!

Slow cook thinly sliced onions on low until they reach a deep brown color. This could take up to an hour depending on your stove, but it’s worth the wait to enjoy the deep and sweet flavor.

Use your onions on pasta, as a pizza topping, or to make a dip, like this one! https://bit.ly/2vrNT7M

Cabbage is a humble food that we often forget about...but it’s filled with vitamins K, C, B1, and B6 as well as manganese, fiber, potassium, folate, calcium and tons more!

My favorite way to up my intake of cabbage is by stuffing it in a dough...I’m talking pierogi or Chinese dumplings!

End your next shower with a shot of cold water—as your body tries to conserve heat, your circulation kicks into overdrive, waking you up and releasing endorphins!

I recommend doing this in the morning, or at the beginning of your day, rather than in the evening or when you’re headed to sleep.
