Does the idea of eating "whole foods" sound too "new age" for you? It doesn't have to be such an unusual diet. You may even already be having a whole food for breakfast each morning! Oatmeal anyone?
The more WHOLE foods in your diet, the healthier you will be!
With fewer processed (BOXED/PACKAGED) foods, you'll be getting MORE of the good stuff and LESS of the bad stuff!
Whole foods have MORE:
Vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, protein, fiber, and TASTE!
Whole foods have LESS:
Trans fat, saturated fat, sodium, calories, added CHEMICALS as preservatives, coloring, and more!
Get started with this! With very little effort, you can warm up as you enjoy some tasty, home-cooked REAL food with plenty of nutrition!
Hearty Lentil Stew
1 c dried lentils, rinsed
12 c water (less for shorter cook time:; for example: 8 c for 30 min, 9 c for 60 min, 10 c for 90 min, etc.)
2 carrots, quartered and chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped in small pieces
1 onion, chopped in small pieces
1/4 c chia seeds
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste, maybe 1/2 tsp each
Garam masala (pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, and cardamom), few shakes
Poultry seasoning (sage, thyme, onion, majoram, pepper, celery seed, and red pepper), few shakes
Simply bring water to a boil with everything in the pot, and then turn down heat to a rolling boil. Cook for at least 30 minutes, the longer it simmers the more flavorful and thick it will be!
Lowdown on Lentils (and Beans)!
Chia Power!
Garlic Greatness!
