“There’s no place like home” is a line from one of my all time favorite movies. Can you guess which one, %$firstname$%? I was away for almost 2 weeks and it’s great to be back home with my family To say my trip was exhilarating, mind blowing and transformative is just scratching the surface. I have returned with new insights about how to more effectively fulfill my mission and live my passion. After 6 exhilarating and illuminating days with my new coach and master mind group I came away with an increased respect for the value of working with someone who has the expertise and knowledge to guide me to reach my goals. I now have a renewed recognition of the value of what I have to offer to empower others to overcome the health challenges that get in the way of achieving life goals, living with passion and purpose, and experiencing energy and joy. I gained an interesting perspective as I pondered my goals and clarified how I desire to be seen. I realized that many people see me as a raw promoter and a glute- free expert because raw foods and glute- free diets are among the important tools I use in working with my patients and students. What I realized is this: I am passionate about working with people who are

Healthy Meals in a Hurry: “What can I eat that supports my health, tastes great, and is quick and easy to get on the table?” I get asked this question all the time. People wonder how I manage to eat so healthfully when I am so busy. This is an actual comment, taken from a recent consultation form: “One of my challenges is making food for myself – I would love to have someone else do it. I don't want to be taking time at lunchtime to do that – so I tend to nibble and then get hungry in the afternoon – then work too late, so I'm really hungry at dinner time – and need to eat right away.” I have hundreds more just like it! My friend and colleague, Chef Karen Osborne, is one of the busiest people I know, besides me of course. As a home schooling Mom, choir member, volunteer at church, personal chef, instructor and Fresh ‘n Fun co-op manager she’s constantly juggling this activity and that. Yet she always manages to eat high green, delicious, nutrient-dense meals. How does she do it? She’ll be sharing her secrets in our One Dish Meals class on Sunday, but I thought I would give you a few hints and tips today to help you put healthy meals on the table in less than the time it takes to order pizza. Step 1: Stock Your Brain with PurposeConsistently choosing healthy foods to consume, despite time pressures requires a mindset shift. It starts by focusing on what’s most important to you–making the connection between what you value most and healthy meal choices. Then, you must simply act from that place of knowing what you value most. It sounds simple, and it is. Implementation takes dedication and truly connecting to your core values. One thing Karen and I have in common is a framework of reference that we get what we most want in life when we feel strong and energetic. We feel strong and energetic when we eat lots of green foods and avoid the energy zappers like gluten, dairy, sugar and processed foods. If we’re rushed or out and the food choices don’t support our ultimate goal, we hold true to our values and don’t eat the foods that will tire or weaken us. Step 2: Stock Your Kitchen with EssentialsThe next step is more practical. Make sure to keep your house stocked with lots of whole foods. With a little forethought and careful shopping, you can have foods around that you can prepare in a hurry. Here’s a list of recommended food items to always have around:
Step 3: Stock Your Meals with CreativityI was in a hurry to get something to eat for dinner tonight, so here’s an example of throwing a healthy meal together in only 5 steps:
I had a delicious meal in less than 5 minutes! In our One Dish Meals class we’ll be sharing how to whip up a one dish meal using whatever you have around. Again, the key to quick and easy meals is having an open mind, having the ingredients on hand, and tuning in to your creativity. Think outside the box. Learn from people who have been there, done that. The recipe section in today's newsletter also has a one dish meal idea. It’s simple, includes nutritious greens from the sea, and tastes delicious. Use your imagination. Join us on Sunday, in person at my home or on the web. It’s guaranteed to be a winner! |
