Do you find it a challenge to want to have salad during these cold winter months?

When you add root vegetables to brighten up your salad and feel satisfied, you may be more likely to want to have that salad!

Beets have some great nutritional benefits! Roast them in the oven (or even steam them), cut them up and add to your salad. You can even peel them raw and grate them too!

Another way to enjoy beets while they're hot out of the oven is to add olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sea salt for a quick side dish!

Kale anyone?

Kale is one of the best nutrient dense dark green leafy vegetables and most of the year is readily available.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy kale is in a salad and for Fall in a Kale Apple Salad with Maple Pecans. Kale is usually massaged with olive oil, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. From there you can add a dressing with Dijon, Maple Syrup, Chopped Shallots and add sliced apples and maple pecans. For the pecans, bake them with maple syrup, salt and pepper.

A great way to enjoy the Fall flavors!

Did you know cruciferous vegetables have so many health benefits? There are plenty of them that you may enjoy such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage and kale to name a few.

Let's talk about broccoli today!

Broccoli is known to contribute to bone, digestive, heart and immune health and may help liver detoxification. It's high in fiber, antioxidants as well as carotenoids.

There are a variety of ways to enjoy broccoli.

Sautéed broccoli with olive/avocado oil, fresh garlic with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and/or lemon zest is delicious alongside most meals. Other ways to enjoy broccoli include adding steamed broccoli to a salad and oven roasted broccoli with olive/avocado oil with salt and black pepper and optionally a sprinkle of cayenne or chili pepper for a hint of heat.

If you're trying to get some of this into your kid's meals and it's a challenge, add chopped broccoli into Mac and Cheese or Turkey Loaf or steamed broccoli into a ranch dip along with carrot, celery and bell pepper sticks.
