Easy Peasy Monday: Yummy Veggies

Its Easy Peasy Monday! I bring you super easy things that you can do in a few minutes to make your life more healthy, yummy, simple and enjoyable.

Today is all about Yummy Veggies. Last week I did a detox program I found on Pinterest. The first three days are nothing but fruits and veggies. I love fruit but I had to get creative about how to make the veggies more palatable. And I thought I would share three tricks to eat your veggies without sacrificing flavor.

Probably the Easiest Detox/Diet Program EVER

Hello. I found this diet program on Pinterest and was very intrigued to try it out. So I'm on the third day and I have to say that this is the easiest diet/detox I've ever tried. Ever. It's called Eat Your Heart Out. I guess a chick named Courtney Rose designed the poster but I'm not sure who came up with it. Maybe she did?

Anywho...

I've read about detox and dieting programs where you only eat fruits and veggies or only drink juice. Those are not for me! But this one is very versatile and has a good variety of food choices so you don't get bored. They break the week up into different kinds of food. Like, day one is fruits only, day 2 is veggies only and so on. Check it out on my Pinterest board to see the whole plan.

Kale Chips Recipe

I LOVE kale! Like seriously LOVE it! So when my mom told me about a recipe she saw on TV for kale chips I was like "Hold the phone! I can eat kale and it's like I'm eating chips but it's really kale so it's ok if I stuff my face cuz it's KALE?" And she was like, "Uh, yeah?"

The Sane & Satisfied Health Plan

I hope you had a Sane & Satisfied Christmas. Like me you probably had your fill of goodies. My husband and I made Fondue for Christmas Eve and I won't hide the fact that I stuffed my happy face.

As with every other year, the days after the holidays and the start of the new year bring all kinds of resolutions, mostly centering around eating healthy, dieting and exercising. Sane & Satisfied people should cringe at the word diet, by the way. It brings to mind starving oneself. It's also interesting how the word diet was originally a noun used like "a Mediterranean diet" or "a low sugar diet". Now it's a verb. "I'm dieting" or "I'm going on a diet". Often times people forget to define what sort of diet they are going on.

But I digress...

Whatever your health goals are this year, please don't fall into the same trend as last year and the year before and the year before. Which is to say don't listen to the hype, marketing and propaganda from "health gurus" who bank on the fact that thoughts of dieting and exercise are flooding the minds of Americans right now.
