Simple and healthy eating.

This post is for the person that is intimidated by cooking (healthier) or has individuals in the family that resist eating vegetables.  

I want you to start thinking about not only new meal options but also how you can incorporate more vegetables into meals that you already make for yourself and your family.  I don't care if you have to "hide" the vegetables as long as they are included in the meal.  A blender provides an excellent means of "hiding" your veggies into your meal creations.

How often do you make pasta at home?  We make a pasta creation like this a couple times per month.   Eating healthier is as simple as combining a large handful of raw organic spinach with any warmed up pasta sauce (soon I will give you my homemade recipe for pasta sauce) and mixing the two together in a blender.  Serve with whole wheat pasta instead of traditional pasta. 

Look at the nutrition labels on the various pasta sauces.  Pay attention to calories, fat content, sodium and sugar.   Avoid cream sauces.   Keep your portion size small and enjoy.

Be creative with this meal.  Add peas, steamed cauliflower, mushrooms or steamed squash to the mixture in the blender. 

These are the ways you make a difference in how you eat.  It's not difficult or expensive.  It takes a bit more prep time but is worth the nutritional benefits you are providing.    Keep the blender on your counter, you are going to be using it for many of our recipes. 

Don't be surprised if you get requests for you to make this meal again soon.   Enjoy!!
