There is something I love about food. It comforts me in times of stress. It makes me feel loved. It is a way I express love to others.
Food is just awesome! But why can't food be both awesome and healthy? I say it can!
I have read lots of books, seen lots of shows, and heard several people tell me that I should eat to fuel my body. That eating is how I should keep myself going and that I need to give it the proper fuel to help it perform at it's optimum. So why do I like the junk so much? I know what to do to fuel myself properly, so why don't I just do it?
Well, for the last two weeks, I have been trying really hard to eat more fruits and veggies during the day and with my meals. I have learned to like some different veggies in this process: brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and green beans.
The photo is what I had for dinner tonight! Lots of green veggies! And I am so full now!
I am trying to keep myself out of the kitchen after its been cleaned and dinner is done, but for some reason, I just love having a snack after my kids are in bed. But not tonight, I had my "dessert" and I will stay out of there!
Wish me luck!
Roasted Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWe use the same ingredients with sauteed brussels sprouts and almost the entire family will eat them! :)
DeleteAny other yummy veggie ideas?

One late night snack we like are smoothies. Frozen Fruit, ice cubes, yogurt and maybe a splash of milk. They are healthy, sweet and packed with protein from the yogurt. We also eat parfaits at night too. Yogurt, granola and fresh fruit. Again, sweet, but healthy. Good luck!
