Amazing Dinner Last Week

April 24, 2012 By 16 Comments

Oh my goodness, I couldn’t wait to tell you about one of the dinners I made from last week.  This is exciting because I don’t cook…BUT I’m learning.

My friend Jedha has this awesome Paleo meal planning program and although I’m not living the Paleo lifestyle, there are some awesome healthy options that I will use.  Like the Lemon Pepper Fish recipe!

Jedha has kindly said I could share this recipe on the blog. Thank you Jedha!

So please take a moment to check out what she has to offer.  I’ll be doing a full review on her Paleo meal plan soon so be on the lookout for that.

How to Make Kale Chips

April 10, 2012 By 4 Comments

Here is one recipe that I can handle. It’s a much healthier alternative to regular chips.

Kale is full of vitamins, has no fat, is an anti-inflammatory, helps lower cholesterol and much more.

I like kale chips plain but I have seen people put ketchup on them.  I am trying to limit the use of condiments now but I might have to try a little ketchup with my kale today.

And you can vary the spices too, from mild to spicy.

Go try this!

I Love Homemade Fruit Smoothies

April 5, 2012 By 4 Comments

I have had some awesome blog worthy smoothies this week so wanted to share them with you.  I use the Magic Bullet® to make my single smoothies.

All you need to do is put all ingredients in the largest bullet mixer cup and blend! Might take a few shakes to get it all mixed up.

You could even drink it right from that cup if you just can’t wait but I like to put my smoothies in my Starbucks cups. Paid for them, might as well make use of them.

So here you go, some tasty and healthy breakfast, lunch or after workout smoothie options!

Popcorn is the go-to snack for every movie fan, but it should also be the go-to snack for any healthy eater. It came as no surprise to me that popcorn was recently proven to be the almost perfect snack food with the discovery of its high levels of polyphenols.

Polyphenols are the powerful antioxidants that can help prevent diseases such as cancer, and popcorn packs almost double the amount of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. This new health benefit can be added to the already impressive list of nutritional facts that prove popcorn is a healthy snack.
