Healthier Me

Since the Lenten Season, I have been working on creating a healthier lifestyle for myself. I am eliminating white from my diet and eating more wheat. This has helped me to limit my intake on food in general and I have found that it  also makes me fuller faster

Here are some of my tricks of the trade

Like Snacks?

I have a really tasty recipe for you to try:

Hearty Trail Mix:

1 cup of dried cranberries
1 cup of cashews
1 cup of almonds
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips

Mix everything together and enjoy!

Light Lunch Options:

Salads are the way to go! My favorites are:

1) Iceberg Berry Frenzy:

1/2 head of chopped iceberg lettuce
1 cup Sliced Strawberries
1 cup Blueberries
1/2 cup Pine nuts (could substitute with walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
1/2 cup of blue cheese crumbles
1/2 cup of raspberry vinaigrette


2) Spinach Red Onion and Black Bean Salad

1 cup of spinach
1/2 of a sliced red onion
1/2 cup of black beans
1/2 cup of raspberry vinaigrette
