Lactose Intolerant?

I am not lactose intolerant but i do know people who are. I was thinking about about options for people who do not eat dairy or who chose not to. Some options are tofu, which they have different kinds of and to be honest it is not that bad if you cook it with veggies, which is the perfect combination! Tempeh which i am not very familiar with, but is a lot like tofu. click here to learn more http://www.fitsugar.com/Difference-Between-Tofu-Tempeh-1034188.

Also, I LOVE WHOLE FOODS! It is a market of fresh and mostly organic food. A lot like trader joes which is another favorite store of mine! Well, i joined whole foods on facebook and low and behold they had a Vegan recipe! So those who cannot eat dairy, dont fret cuz here is a recipe for you to try (just click it):

Any recipes I post feel free to make them your own. Like for this one, you do not have to use tempeh, but try tofu or if you dont do any of those use chicken.

Hope its good!

Menu for tonight

Ok i have to share this recipe with you:

Baked Chicken Breast
4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast
8 oz catalina dressing
8 oz jar apricot preserves
1 pkg dry onion soup

I twike the recipe by not adding so much dressing or preserves. I also do not have dry onion soup so i left it out and it tastes wonderful. So to make this meal 'healthy' i am making sweet potatoes. They are better for you and this is a carb.

So enjoy! I am gonna go eat!

A new way to eating

Do you get overwhelmed with the thought of eating healthy? I do at times, but we must remember that a healthy life along with life in general is a JOURNEY. It takes time to live healthy.

I am jumping right into what i have been learning. I do not want to overwhelm but here is a first step:

Start the morning off with a protein (chicken, eggs, goat cheese, ect) with a vegatable. Starting with a protein and vegatable keeps your insulin levels normal. Starting with sugar in the AM will put your insulin in motion which is not what we want in the AM.

Lunch: try eating more protein and veggies.

Snack between lunch and dinner: Fruit

Dinner: Carb and veggies.

Two hours after dinner: Fruit

Ok so this is a start. It is a good thought to put in the back of your mind. Maybe you are thinking this is really weird. I want to say, hang in there with me. This is the foundation to my blog. I will start explaing more to why we should eat this way in more blogs. Also, i will add small ideas and substitues to different things.

Blessing on this journey.
