Taking one step a day towards better health is all that it takes. One step in the right direction. This can be eating a healthier meal, going for a walk, swapping water for soda.
Get a head start on the inevitable New Year’s resolution to be healthier. Taking a leap is harder than a step. Start now.
Take a walk instead of watching three straight episodes of a TV show tonight. Sub a sparking water for a soda. Eat a piece of fruit for a snack instead of a sugar laden “granola” bar.
The steps are small. The steps are easy. One at a time, to a healthier life.
With the fall season taking center stage there has been an increased focus on great meals. Today will follow that same path.
Head to the store and find as many root vegetables as you can. Cut them into a uniform shape and roast them for 30-45 minutes. Flavor with seasonings of your choice and enjoy!
Grate as many sweet potatoes as you would like, and season to your flavor profiles. I did cumin and black pepper.
Heat oil or butter in a skillet until hot, then add the grated sweet potato. Flatten as much as you can and let cook for about 5 minutes. The time here will depend on your cooktop.
You will need to flip the hash once. Try to flip only once and achieve a nice golden brown.
The hash is wonderful under eggs or baked salmon!!
You can make meal plans for the month customized on your goals or just find one-off meals that are easy to cook. The app is fantastic and only $2.99. It gives you all the ingredients, and nutritional information per serving.
I have really started to use this of late and have loved everything I have cooked so far. There is also a handy tagging system so you know what recipes you can make in advance and have ready for the week!
Get this app and start fitting healthy eating back into your schedule. No excuses.
The weekend is here and it’s that time again to…unplug!
Pick a day or two this weekend to set the phone down, leave it inside. Turn the iPad off and get outside into nature. The weather is quickly becoming prime for exploring and getting good exercise.
If you decide to take the weekend off from electronics then read both of this weekend’s blog posts on Monday! The body always needs a reset and same goes for the mind.
Take in the sights and sounds of nature this weekend.
