Heathly Family

(Dinner from the other night. Adult, Toddler and baby dish)


For the past three weeks Spencer and I have undertaken a healthier way of living. We mostly eat greens and fresh now and excercise five days a week. I only had to modify my diet a little bit but Spencer has changed his way of eating completely. After we lose the weight we have gained over the years, we would still like to stay close to this way of living. Both of us have felt a difference and we like it. We only have two more months until my side of the family's biggest loser weigh in on November 21st. We are hoping to win the grand prize. Wish us luck!

I Love My Broccoli

I am a broccoli lover. I love it so much I eat it more than once a week for breakfast. Some have thought me crazy for doing such a thing but it actually is quite common on my side of the family to eat healthy at every meal. Don't hate on broccoli please. Try the recipe below and I promise if you follow it you too may have the taste buds yearning for more.

Perfect Steamed Broccoli

2-3 cups of washed florets of broccoli

1-2 Tbs. of good oil, (EVOO cold pressed, flax seed oil, Udo's Blend (my favorite), or favorite)

1/2-1 Tbs. of Braggs Amino Liquids

Steam broccoli on high for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let it sit for another 5 minutes. Spoon into a bowl and dress and mix with the rest of the ingredients. These ingredients can be to taste so have fun with it and enjoy!
