Easy Healthy Delicious Recipe

I LOVE to Eat. I love to eat well. I love the way I feel after a meal that I put love in to creating and has the most flavor for the nutrition content. Food should taste good! Period! The thing is to open up what tastes good to you.

Enough of my rant. Here we go. This calls for Grass Fed Beef. If you cannot find Grass Fed, local organic beef then AT THE VERY LEAST get Chorizo with NO NITRATES/NITRITES. If their beef is good enough to eat then should not have to put nitrates in it.

Ingredients:
12oz. Grass Fed Organic Beef Chorizo or Smoked Turkey Kielbasa (nitrate/nitrite free please)- Sliced
1lb Kale - Red Russian is best - clean and stems removed
1 Cup Quinoa
1/2 cup Dried Cranberries- chopped
1/2 cup Pistachios (sunflower seeds or slivered almonds)
3tbsp Olive oil

Place 2cups of water and 1 grind of Himalayan Rock Salt in a large Sauce pan. Remove stems from kale, rinse, cut into ribbons and place in boiling water. Lower to a simmer for 25 min. (its actually healthier with Kale)
Place sausage in a medium ceramic sauce pan and heat on low. Stir occasionally to keep from burning. Cook until done. Use a thermometer if necessary.

Rinse Quinoa well in a mesh strainer and add to 2cups of boiling water w/1tbsp of olive oil. Simmer on Low for 10-15min.

If you are on a High Protein diet, Paleo or just trying to eat healthier then this recipe is great. I love the spice from the Chorizo with the flavor of the kale. The texture of the Quinoa, cranberries and pistachios makes for a very satisfying dish that is easy on your calories and has a very low glycemic impact.

Stay healthy and eat well!

Well Its the 2 week mark

So we have been in 2013 for 2 weeks now. How are your resolutions going? Did you vow to change your diet? Get more exercise? Lose weight? Go to the gym every day?

And how are you doing? You are probably already letting the little things slip.

Did you write down your resolutions and post them where you can see them every day? Writing down your resolutions makes them more real. More real than just saying it.

I will talk mainly about diet goals since exercise info is everywhere.
98% of diets fail. If you change 1 small but effective daily habit, just 1, you can have a 95% success rate. Once that thing is part of your daily routine then we can add 1 more. If you try to do both small changes at the same time your fail rate will skyrocket to 80%.

So lets just start with 1 thing, for the next 2 weeks. Take a fish oil supplement and a multi-vitamin. That may sound like 2 things but only if you look at each supplement as an individual behavioral change. Take a quality multi and a quality fish oil. Take 1g for every 1% body fat. If you are obese then start with 25g over the course of the day. This 1 little thing shows dramatic results in a week or 2. Take a multi-vitamin so your body operates well. You really do need all of those vitamins for your body to be efficient at eating, moving and living.

For the next 2 weeks just make that small change, it is the best bang for your lifestyle change buck. Now go do it.
