Broccoli is one of the best vegetables! It is a great source of Vitamin C which is vital during cold and flu season.
I make this dish year-round and include some apple cider vinegar to help boost health benefits.
ENJOY!
Coconut is a miracle plant. Not only do I use coconut oil in my skin care products, I also like cooking with coconut milk.
Coconuts have a great nutritional profile and contain Vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. They also contain iron, selenium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. In addition they are a rich source of fiber.
In cooking, I usually opt for the Trader Joe’s light version for 2 reasons:
- It has a lot less unnecessary fat
- The can is BPA-free. Remember, BPA LOVES fat (even reduced fat).
When I was recently at a restaurant in Laguna Beach I enjoyed a simple coconut rice. However in my version I added some veggies and a dash of nutmeg to make it more satisfying.
ENJOY!
I grew up in an Italian/French household and pasta and dessert were staples. I really love both but as we know they can pile on the pounds. When I can, I try to subsititute healthier ingredients. Spaghetti Squash is really easy to use in just about any dish in place of pasta. A word of advice the trick is to make sure you cook spaghetti squash ompletely before breaking into strands.
The addition of the bok choy and zucchini not only makes this dish healthier but also satisfying.
I prefer it hot but is also great cold.
ENJOY!
