Happy Healthy Meals with Risa Auger

Nightshades are a group of veggies, fruits, and spices that some folks need to avoid - or really cook - otherwise they have adverse reactions digestively. Join in on this episode to hear a list of foods, how can you tell if you’re having trouble with all of them, and what to do about it.

May is my fave month of the year. Well. No… that’s not entirely true. It’s my second favorite month of the year. December is actually my first favorite (my wedding anniversary and Christmas!) But, MAY. Oh Sweet. MAY.

May holds a special place in my heart to look forward to. In it, I get to celebrate all the wonderful mommas that surround me. Especially MY mom! And, now that I am a mom, I get to celebrate me a little too. Then, about a week later, I get to eat all the cake, eat all the ice cream, AND rule over Netflix for a whole day—for my birthday!

This week’s podcast is all about filling your plates with fresh, seasonal goodness.

Remember, year-round, it’s a good idea to include as many of these in each of your meals and a couple in your snacks too.

Listen to this week’s podcast for some ideas that I’ll be focusing on in my own kitchen with these veggies!

We all need to keep learning right? I just learned even healthy oils, like olive oil, can turn when heated too high. YIKES!

So, this week on the podcast I chat about how to use different things to cook in depending on the method you’re using. Here’s a quick reference for you to use as you’re prepping your meals - from coconut to flaxseed. Join my email list for some fab links + explanations of a few common oils.

I invite you to check out past episodes of HHM and make sure to subscribe so you never miss a new one!

On this episode I talk about what to do when you feel a bit on the “puffy” side, a little "off," ....  one thing that seems to help when I feel this way is to adjust my intake of animal protein and gluten. Every body is different, so a different tactic may work better for you. It’s totally worth trying a few things til you find your thing. For instance, you could try ditching one (or more) of these items for three to four weeks at a time:

It’s a process for sure to try each of these out. But, who knows, you might just find out something new about yourself! And. It gives you an excuse to try some different things too.

I love holidays!

The family. The friends. The fun. The FOOD! LOL.

Isn’t it funny how every holiday has something traditional that goes along with it? Christmas = turkey. Thanksgiving = Pie. New Years = black eyed peas. 4th of July = American BBQ.

Easter is no exception: Eggs. Potatoes. Ham. Green salad

So, this week on the podcast, I chat about lightening up traditional items in the Easter meal with things like baked, rubbed ham, seasoned carrots, fresh salads w/homemade dressing, and tarts that skip the gelatin on the fruit.

At the change of the season, reviewing what you have on your meal plans is a good idea. With that in mind, make sure to LISTEN to this episode of the Happy Healthy Meals podcast about incorporating bitters and why we eat with the seasons as much as possible.

If asked, I will generally say that my favorite season is pumpkin season. I’m not a nut about it, but I do enjoy a good pumpkin-spiced, everything. Do you? On this episode of Happy Healthy Meals, I chatted about the meals of the week and also about how eating seasonally is super important.

Suggested meal plan for your week ahead - recipes and info on the HHM FB page:

Since it IS pumpkin season, and these might sell out any day now, make sure to try out this seasonal flavor of meal shakes I can’t live without!

This week on the podcast, I was so happy to be joined by a fellow Beachbody coach who I have had fun getting to know. Audrey Rose is a sweetheart with a ton of great ideas and love to share with her clients via her IG and her podcast. You can follow her on IG @enlightened.wellness.

Take a listen to hear us talk about the mistakes we’ve both made and simple strategies for creating a positive mindset.

In an HHM first... I am chatting all about the benefits of SLLEP. And, guess what? Not much about food. Crazy. I know, but it's just THAT important of a piece of your healthy life. Habits. Duration. Tips. I cover the highlights and hope it inspires you to dig deep. 

And, of course, you can join me on Facebook or make sure to be on my email list for foods and recipes that will aid in your sleep life.
