Winter can be difficult time to eat healthy. I will be the first to admit that when the weather gets cold, I really don't want to do much but crawl under and blanket and wait it out.
But I don't let the weather get me down. Instead I try and find delicious, fresh food that is both healthy and comforting, and this salad delivers just that!...
May times I run into folks just beginning to open their minds to the idea of eating healthier. Often they have recently experienced a wake-up-call moment or perhaps just an eye-opening one. Whether is a health scare, milestone birthday or favorite jeans that no longer button there is usually a reason that triggers people's readiness to start eating better.
Whatever the reason, I welcome this moment! For anyone that's curious about what I eat, or how to eat better themselves I have put together this simple little guide on how to get eating smarter! Best of all I have made it FREE! Yes, free....

When the winter blues have you down, brighten up the day with this colorful and flavorful chowder.
In this recipe I used chickpeas and potatoes to thicken this chowder into a velvety texture. Thats what really gives it a thick & hearty feel that keeps you feeling full and warm on the coldest winter day.
During the winter I use frozen corn, but this is also a lovely soup in the summer with fresh summer sweet corn. I don't make it quite as thick in the summer and serve it alongside a bright, crisp salad.
Any time of year this chowder is welcome on my table!...
The beauty of a plant based diet is that there are so many tasty options. I know before we made the move to plant based, we were pretty much stuck in a 'chicken and veggies' rut.
These days I love to explore, mix it up and try new things, especially since there are so many veggies I never even tried! The next time you think you have tried it all, head to your local asian food market and discover vegetables you never knew existed! But even more common veggies, like turnips, never made it onto my table very often, until I went plant based....
If I could offer one bit of advice for every person on the planet it would be:
"Watch Forks Over Knives"
Oh how simple it sounds, but the impact of this lil ole documentary is palpable.
Never before has there been a better one stop shop for learning about the human body, the obesity and disease epidemic, how and why we eat, and how to take control of your own health.
