FEEL GOOD FOOD FROM MOTHER EARTH

I love Spaghetti. It was one of the first things I learned how to make. Pretty hard to screw up boiling water and pouring out a jar of sauce. I’ve since upgraded my sauce situation and here is what I made for dinner last night.

Spaghetti Sauce

5 cloves of crushed garlic ( I love garlic, you maybe not so much so use less)

1 medium red onion diced

1 zucchini diced

1 cup of mushrooms diced

1 lb of grass fed meat

1 Jar of Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Sauce

Boil some water for your noodles. I have been really into brown rice pasta, you should give it a try!


Heat a pan with olive oil and saute the garlic, onions, mushrooms, zucchini. Set aside.

In another pan get some garlic going and add the meat, cook it thoroughly. Drain any excess oil then add the meat with the sauteed veggies. Pour in the jar of sauce and what you have is “crack sauce” as my friends call it.


Roasted Golden Beets

I think one of the most underrated vegetables is the beet. They are so good roasted and one of my favorite side dishes. They are a pain to peel, but so worth it.

1 bunch of beets, peel and dice into cubes

2-3 tablespoons of olive oil

5 cloves of garlic

1 cup of brussels sprouts, cut into quarters

Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the beets, brussels, and garlic with olive oil and salt in a bowl then place on a baking sheet.  20-25 mins. in the oven and you have a golden side dish :)

Purple Kale Salad

1 bunch of kale, trim, wash, cut into small pieces

1 cucumber

2 tomatoes

1 avocado

Makes a great easy salad packed with healthy omega fats, antioxidants, and fiber!

Chocolate for breakfast? Yes please! This cherry/blueberry chocolate shake is going to get your day started in the right gear.
Cacao is a sweet way to get important minerals, antioxidants and minerals like iron and magnesium.
Cherries are packed with anti-inflammatory benefits and studies have found that they help in the recovery of post work out muscle and joint pain. Blueberries which are high in antioxidants have many positive whole body benefits (cardiovascular, cognitive, and blood sugar).

Proteins are are the building blocks of every tissue, organ and cell in our bodies. Proteins are constantly being broken down and replaced. I start every morning off with a strong solid breakfast. I always have Power Smoothie, paired with eggs, steel-cut oatmeal, or fruit. This is what I had today. Enjoy!
