Are you ready for winter?

For those of you who think winter is still a long ways away, I hate to break it to you, but we here in Kamloops, British Columbia actually received snow the other day! I’m talking an accumulation that is still on the ground and covering rooftops! At least it is at the higher elevations where we live - that is definitely a price we pay for living in the beautiful mountains.

Regardless of whether or not you’ve seen the white stuff this fall, things are definitely cooling down everywhere. And cooler weather means it’s time to dig out the crockpot!

Recipe: Baked Pork Katsu

As the summer season kicks off, I thought it was about time I shared another delicious recipe with you!

This one has many variations and can be spiced up to suit your individual tastes - but one thing is always the same… it’s delicious!

I made this recipe with boneless pork chops, but you could easily use a pork tenderloin, cut into pieces, or chicken instead. You can also spice it up with more or different dried spices if you like. You can use fresh ginger for the sauce or ground. You can bake these as I did, or fry them in your cast iron with a little coconut oil. The possibilities are endless!

So I certainly hope you give this recipe, in any variation, a try the next time you have dinner guests over or simply want a healthy meal that’s a little different from your ordinary go-to’s. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this recipe made it’s way into your regular rotation!

Are you too busy to eat healthy?

Does it feel like cooking healthy meals takes too much effort and you just don’t have time to figure out what to eat?

Do your cravings get the best of you and throw you off track?

Do you have a food allergy that makes it hard to figure out what to eat?

If you’ve tried and failed to get your eating habits in check, then you know how frustrating trying to eat healthier can be. You work so hard but feel exactly the same week after week. You probably wonder, what am I doing wrong?

Undereating, overeating, or failing to properly balance your meals can make it impossible to make progress. Dieting, starving or depriving yourself can do much more harm than good. Choose either an Anti-inflammatory meal plan, one for Diabetes, or one for optimal Cognitive Function.

Salted Fresh Roasted Almonds

Almonds are delicious and nutritious! Ongoing research also suggests that adding almonds to your diet can aid with cholesterol reduction, and type 2 diabetes. I love almonds and eat them regularly, knowing they are a whole food with many health benefits.

I also love the crunch and the saltiness of a good nut. But I don’t love the price tag, or the fact that many of the roasted nuts on the market are laden with safflower or canola oil (and sometimes even sugar!).

Not Yo Momma’s Shepherd’s Pie

Every time I offered to make a shepherd’s pie for dinner, he’d groan and turn up his nose, stating that he hated shepherd’s pie. I tried the argument that he had never tried MY shepherd’s pie, but it never worked and he remained adamant that he would not like it.
