We are What We Eat!

I know my body and brain are what I eat.  So, I am continuing from last Friday’s post in sharing some food related tips I feel have helped my overall wellness in mind and body.   Eating my veggies first-Did you know that ½ of our plates should be fruit and vegetables at each meal? …

Out of my Rut

I’m in a rut. While enjoying some different foods from others helping me out this week, it has made me think of how I get stuck in ruts of eating the same things over and over.

Realizing this rut and then reading cooking magazines and watching foods shows all week, I’ve decided to keep trying some new foods & recipes-want to join me?  Each month I’ll highlight a new recipe (or two) I’ve tried that is healthy and appeals to more than just me-ideally the family. For me it doesn’t work unless there’s some consensus in the family.

We are on a wellness journey together, so let’s keep it healthy and with minimal ingredients!  I love reading cookbooks with intricate recipes, but in reality those occur once or twice a year for me-so simple and healthy is more realistic for everyday.

You have the Wellness Granola and the Wellness Journey Snack Mix recipes, so how about we start with a healthy, simple and interesting entrée?

Submit your recipes or chime in with ideas and next month I’ll highlight one or more that fit into our wellness vibe.  Comment here at the end of the post, email me at jill@memoryminders.net  or join the discussion on Facebook or Twitter.  What fun-each month we’ll get a new recipe (or more depending on how ambitious we all are) to try and keep us out of our ruts!

Life Giving Water & A Snack!

Misty rain intensified and my steps became quicker.  Determined to exercise before the rain came, I ventured off on a walk.  Although just a mist, it made me think about how rain can be gloomy.  But water brings life, to us and all living things. Water rejuvenates.  It brings refreshing comfort to dry earth, parched …

Do You Have 20?

I find many reasons not to exercise.  However I’ve made a concentrated effort to be in the best shape possible going into my knee surgery.  So, I’ve adjusted my daily routine and started by squeezing in 20 minutes of aerobic exercise a day.  So the question to myself and to you is “do you have 20” …
