EWWWW. Veggies. — said every kid, ever. And even some adults I know!

On this episode of Happy Healthy meals, you’ll learn about how I am using veggies in my dinners this week, some ideas to hide your veggies (more if you're on my email list!), and I am trying a new thing where I cook while we chat. I hope you like the new format!

On this episode I talk about how the scale is just one of many things to  focus on as a marker of ideal health. In fact, there is quite a list of  other indicators to consider. Remember to eat healthy, move a bit,  drink water, sleep well and be positive with yourself every day.

Every Monday at 6pm (Pacific), you can join me LIVE to ask questions and make this a conversation — so mark your calendar and join me next Monday!  Listen to the newest episode to hear about focusing on your health as a full picture, with many components and also my thoughts on building a great salad.

TThis week is all about the basics! Yep! Take a listen this week to get answers to the top three questions I get asked all the time: Where do I start to eat healthy? What do I eat? How much do I eat in one meal? Then I also talk about some leftover #taco meat I used tonight as a big salad instead of just tacos again.

Yes #inflammation is totally normal. And, yes, you NEED this process to happen to heal from say a broken bone, a fever or paper cut. But, the problem happens when it lasts for a long time, causing more harm than good. GOOD NEWS! You can control, and even reverse, inflammation through a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle! So. What to eat? Listen in to find out!

Shortest episode ever!

While I’m here on vacation, I’m practicing my 5 treat meal “rules.”  I say that in quotes because I’m not big on adding real rules and accidentally making things harder than they need to be. That said, I KNOW that I feel better when I don’t over indulge. I KNOW that if I do, I risk having an upset tummy for the rest of the trip and pants that don’t fit when I get back. So. I hope these help ya when you travel and on your treat meal day.

On this episode, I chat about some swaps you can use when you’re making a recipe. Swaps for protein. Swaps for veggies. How I use recipes as a how-to guide. And, things you could swap for everything I am making this week. Wishing you so much flavor and goodness this week!

How do you WANT to feel? You know what I’m about to say, right? Yup. How  + what you eat is the best way to get to how you want to feel. That's why this week’s episode is all about making just ONE small change and  really focusing on it to build a foundation for your healthier meals that can lead to more healthy changes in the future. Remember this is  YOUR journey and only you can determine what works and what doesn’t.

Through some trial and error and a bit of research, I have found that making meals the HHM way changed the way I look at my plate. I hope it is helping you change the way you look at yours too. How do you make your meals the HHM way? For most of your meals you’re going to want to include one of each of these: Bright veggie + Green veggie + Lean protein + Complex carb + Healthy fat.  Beyond this, make sure that the items you choose are the highest quality that will fit into your budget. On this episode, you'll learn how to put this into practice daily on this week’s episode of Happy Healthy Meals. I talk about how each of the meals I planned have each of these items, my thoughts on food quality, and I answered a couple questions from the audience too.

It’s funny how our meals change over time with culture, with seasons, with new trends in life and well… just so many things. For instance, traditionally, people ate a small breakfast late in the morning after working in the fields (that they called lunch), then had a large meal at the end of the work day (called supper) and a smaller meal a little later, (called dinner).

This week’s podcast includes tips on how I up-cycle my leftovers, a little of this lunch info, and thoughts on my meal plan for the week.
