Help your body

Make sure you get your protein intake. Especially, in the morning. I call protein brain food. Protein helps our bodies to repair itself. Of course, fruit and vegetables are vitally important also.

SPRING FILLING

The time has come where the leaves have finished turning autumn hues. The air is filled with a different wind and I just love this time of season. That's right, Spring is finally coming or for some already has begun.

When Spring and Summer comes I usually try to eat lighter. Slowly implementing a small change in my meals. Soup and salads are perfect for this season.

Try making a salad with seafood, chicken or salmon. This is a quick fix for satisfying your appetite. Quick salads include cherry tomatoes and a sliced boiled egg.(Sometimes I boil 3 or 4 eggs at the same time if I know I'm going to make a big salad for later). For you meat lovers that want to cut back on your intake, create your salad by grilling portobella mushrooms. Seasoned with garlic and pepper, slice and top with fresh Parmesan cheese or bleu cheese. Add almonds for protein. Great greens are arugula, romaine, and butter lettuces.

Time: 12 min.

Have a Happy Spring Day and fill your belly with healthy treats.

Trying New Recipes

A good rule: NEVER SERVE A NEW RECIPE TO YOUR GUESTS BEFORE YOU TRY IT. When trying a new recipe, make sure it taste good to you before you serve it to your guests. Make notes of any tweeking you may have to do so next time it'll taste superb! I've had to cut the sugar and/or butter in a dessert recipe and it didn't disburb the taste.
