“Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia”

The importance of Essential Fatty Acids “E.F.A.’s” should not be taken lightly.

Many of you may have heard E.F.A.’s referred to as Fish Oil or Omega-3’s.   Regardless of what you call them, the word “Essential” is no joke. E.F.A.’s support healthy function of the cardiovascular, immune, skeletal, gastrointestinal and cognitive systems to name just a few.
Essential Fatty Acids may be derived from many whole foods including cold water fish.  The “Oceans 3″ line from Garden of Life is high quality and is the only brand that also contains the powerful antioxidant’s …

A healthy version of the old school ‘Sloppy Joe”

“Messy Bison”

This healthy version of the old school ‘Sloppy Joe” is made with ground Bison which offers that naturally sweet flavor unique to Buffalo.  Each 3.5 ounce serving rocks out 28.44 grams of protein.    My secret weapon for this version of the healthier “Man-which” is the sauce.  Kidney beans add a creamy texture, lots of body and much needed daily Fiber, B9 and Manganese.  One cup of cooked kidney beans provides 45.3% of the recommended daily intake for fiber. Kidney beans’ high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising …

Tossed Asparagus & Kidney Bean Salad

After a long winter of squash and potatoes the spring time opens up a whole new road to a tasty adventure.  Your local grocery stores should be offering a beautiful selection of fresh herbs and leafy greens that not only rock out on steamed vegetables and fresh salads, they offer valuable nutrients such as Iron, Vitamin C, Folate and Potassium.  Fresh herbs can typically be purchased by the bunch or in soil.  I prefer those that are sold as a whole plant in soil for continual enjoyment under $5.00.
Asparagus is …
