My mom makes these awesome seed crackers that I actually hide so I don’t have to share, thank God men don’t look to the back of refrigerators or cupboards!! Here is the recipe, I am not sure where she got it from so I am giving her full credit! Thanks Ma!!
Seed Crackers
Ingredients:
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 sunflower seeds
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup flaxseeds or chia
1/3 cups sesame seeds
1 tbsp ground psyllium husk powder
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 cup boiling water
Our bodies are very smart and they are trying to tell us what is happening all the time, we just may not be aware of what they trying to say. Here is a brief list of some of the basic and most common ailments and their nutrient deficiencies.
During the week there is not much time to cook elaborate meals but we still need to eat well.
Sunday night or Monday morning I drag out the old Instant Pot and that poor thing runs for hours! I cook all of my grains and beans I need for the week so when dinner comes around I just throw a dish together and I don’t have to worry about soaking, or cooking beans or whole grains.
That’s where this recipe came about. I had a butternut squash hanging around and some black beans in the fridge so into the Instant Pot it went, along with half an onion, a couple cloves of garlic and thats about it.
This recipe is delicious, easy to throw together and is healthy enough you can use it on a cleanse.
You can keep it simple or be creative and add your own flare with spices and other additions like avocado, tomatoes, or peppers.
This soup is full of protein, fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, Potassium, Calcium,. Magnesium and Iron.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot not to worry this can easily be done on the stovetop.
Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year!!
Well it’s time to get back to healthy habits and healthy meals!
I am not much of a trend girl but this is the one piece of advice that I tell all my clients to do no matter what ails them, and that is,
TO START THE DAY WITH A CUP OF WARM WATER AND THE JUICE OF HALF A FRESH LEMON
Simple and a bit on the boring side I know but, this tiny little thing can make a big impact on your health!
Here are the benefits of incorporating this into your morning routine:
For me, Christmas is all about tradition, family and childhood nostalgia. I really enjoy this time of year when I get to relive some of my most favourite memories as an adult. Christmas is also when I allow myself to indulge in the foods that I don’t normally eat but still enjoy! Eating really well 95% of the time allows me to indulge a bit now and again without too much consequence.
To keep holiday weight gain to a minimum and gastrointestinal issues at bay, see my previous blog for helpful tips to follow throughout Christmas. But, here are a few goodies you can add to your mix that aren’t as rich or sweet but still just as good.
