Avocado Angel Eggs

Here’s a fun recipe you can make for your Easter Sunday Brunch!

I call them Avocado Angel Eggs and they’ve got yummy avocado in them. Give ’em a try!

But before you do, I’ve got one quick avocado health fact for you:

Avocado is loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. In fact, 77% of the calories in it are from fat, making it one of the fattiest plant foods in existence. But they don’t just contain any fat… the majority of the fat in avocado is oleic acid.

Stuffed Cashew Meat Cabbage Rolls

 

O M Geeee I can’t believe I found it!  

I have been outspoken about my disdain for ultra processed, GMO soy alternatives to meat but this is different.  I found the meat alternative to my dreams!!  

This cashew meat stuffed cabbage will fool even the most carnivorous in your inner circle and the story behind how it’s rescued will make you love it even more. Thousands of tons of cashew fruits are thrown away yearly from the cashew nut and juice industry.  They use the nut and juice but discard the fiber. Cashew fruit meat 100% up cycled, meaning, it’s saved from the landfills.  It’s a great sustainable food source and it’s super versatile in recipes, like my stuffed cabbage rolls.  No soy, no gluten, naturally vegan, organic and sustainable.    

Turns out we can make a better impact on the planet without sacrificing taste. Grab my recipe below and follow for more.

Getting Back in the Kitchen with The Fit Foodie, Mareya Ibrahim

As heard in Getting Back in the Kitchen with The Fit Foodie, Mareya Ibrahim, check out the episode to hear my interview with Confidence Through Health Podcast. 

Research shows that we eat healthier when we cook at home more often. That's easier said than done for most of us. We live such busy lives and one of the most important pieces of our lives often gets put to the back burner - the quality of what we eat.

What the EWG won’t tell you about washing pesticides away

Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases its list of the most pesticide-laden produce items calls the Dirty Dozen.

And every year, it creates a media tidal wave of coverage. It shows up everywhere, and seemingly sets off a storm of fear in the hearts of every fruit and veggie lover, banishing the thought of ever eating a non-organic plant.

They even suggest washing with just water.  The question begs, is there really nothing we can do about these harmful pesticides more effective than just rinsing with water – which is highly ineffective with hydrophobic fruits and veggies? Thankfully, yes.

These third-party lab studies proved that if you wash your produce properly with Eat Cleaner Triple Action Fruit & Vegetable Wash, you can get rid of over 99% of the “toxic” and “cancer-causing” agents. The truth is, water alone cannot effectively remove oil-based pesticides. You need something that can chelate non-water soluble...

How To Armor Up For Cold And Flu Season With A Healthy Microbiome

There’s never been a time where we’ve felt so vulnerable – at least not in my lifetime. Owning our health is more important than ever and seeking out the knowledge and wisdom and science we have available is our inherent responsibility. With the unprecedented pandemic and the daily stresses associated to adapting to it, our systems may have never been so challenged. Our nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, lymphatic system, adrenal system AND our immune system and every other part of our body needs support, and it all begins with food.

Food is the fuel to not only give us the life force we need for energy and vitality, but it also helps us manage stress, helps us rest and sleep, helps us balance our hormones, and helps us armor up our immunity. When there’s a crisis in one of our systems, the ‘machine’ becomes at risk of breaking down.

That’s why in this post, we’re focusing on the microbiome aka the ‘gut.’...

How to Pack Leftovers to Prevent Food Poisoning

After a delicious meal, most of us want to relax and enjoy spending time with family and friends. The last thing on our mind is cleanup and packing away leftovers. It can wait, right? Actually, no. The longer leftovers sit after a meal, the more likely bacteria, viruses, or parasites will grow and your family will be at risk of food poisoning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food poisoning affects around 48 million people each year. The majority of these illnesses are the result of disease-causing germs. Leftovers are a likely culprit for many cases of food poisoning. When food is left out after being prepared, it can grow bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Leaving leftovers out in the kitchen is not the only risk. If leftovers are not properly packed and stored, the risk of food poisoning continues. Do you know how to pack leftovers to prevent food poisoning and keep your family safe? Here are some tips: Pack Leftovers Properly It...
