Not all Broccoli is created equal

This is the tale of two broccoli. Today the broccoli we eat is nothing like the broccoli of our ancestors. None of the fruits and vegetables are. It has left our bodies in a state of starvation. We are overfed but malnourished. People are consuming massive amounts of non-food items that are manufactured vs real food that is pulled out of the ground, but even the real food is SO SUB PAR! It is from the soil Erosion, compaction, nutrient imbalance, pollution, acidification, water logging, loss of soil biodiversity and increasing salinity have been affecting soil across the globe, reducing its ability to support plant life and so grow crops. Our soils are deficient which is why everybody and their brother are now popping up with ailments you never heard from before. Quite simply... an auto-immune disease is really just the body eating itself. The body doesn't get what it needs so it starts attacking itself. This can all be prevented with proper nutrition.  

In a 2004 study of common garden vegetables there was found to be a significantly reliable decline in nutrients from 1950 to 1999 according to USDA data. Today I am just going to show broccoli. I have attached a chart to show the massive loss in nutrients, for example Broccoli has 2/3 less calcium than it did only 50 years earlier. Meaning you can eat and eat and eat that broccoli and still not reach the nutrition level you need. This is the same for all of our fruits and vegetables. This was one of the things I learned early on in my nutrition education. I had to self advocate and learn how to PREVENT the cancer from coming back. This is what led me to plant enzymes that are harvested BOTANICALLY (where they naturally grow).


Raw fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soils already contain the enzymes needed for us to digest the plants’ proteins and carbohydrates. Fruits and vegetables with the most enzymes when eaten raw include papayas, mangoes, pineapples, apples, avocados, carrots, grapefruit, spinach, and tomatoes. However, most people eat cooked, canned, and prepared foods that destroy the naturally-occurring enzymes that help us with digestion. My daily supplement has over 30 superfood plant enzymes in it. Meaning the fruit or vegetable or herb is picked when it is fully ready and then immediately the plant enzymes are taken out and freeze dried to maintain purity. It makes its way to my doorstep in a packet and I take it once a day for 5 salads worth of pure plant enzymes.


This is how I stay alkaline which keeps me cancer free. This is how I help my clients hit NED (No evidence of disease). I am here to help you, send me a message and let me hear what your struggles are. I betcha I can fix it with nutrition!
Will you get out of your way in order to feel better?

Perfect Roasted Asparagus

We eat a LOT of vegetables. It is funny because before I got cancer, I rarely ate vegetables. Usually just once a day at dinner. Now I eat them all day long in every meal and snack. They are what KEEPS us full and satisfied and what we should be eating the most of. I just never knew much about fresh veggies. It wasn't the norm in my house growing up. SO I had to learn! One thing I learned is that I love Asparagus, but I also dislike asparagus.
Let me rephrase.
I love perfectly roasted asparagus and I dislike overcooked asparagus. Asparagus should NOT be mushy people! Here is how to make the perfect al dente asparagus.

Perfect Roasted Asparagus

1 pound asparagus
2 tsp olive oil
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
Juice of one lemon
sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet, arrange the asparagus in a single layer. Toss in the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

2. Roast for 8 minutes or until the asparagus is crisp on the outside and tender in the center. It is NOT supposed to be mushy!!!

3.Toss in the garlic, and lemon juice. Add more if desired. Serve immediately.

15 minute best red curry ever. Did I mention it's clean?

I have got a bowl full of yum!

The time has come again for me to do my 3 day cleanse. When I first did the cleanse it was much harder for me. Now it is so easy. I actually feel too full to finish my daily food portions. I love it because you get to eat real food.  If you are interested in trying out a 3 day no exercise cleanse, email me and I will send you over all the info. It is Vegan, Organic, Non-gmo, whole food cleanse.


This is the quickest easiest meal you can make... IF you have a trader joes nearby. When I am in a time bind I buy their asian stir fry veggie blend and whip this up. This is my go to meal when I am cleansing. It contains the veggies needed and your healthy fat. Totally cleanse approved. When we are not cleansing we just add our favorite chicken, fish or shrimp. You can add zoodles for a vegan thai ramen. We love it and I would eat it on or off the cleanse any day of the week!


15 minute Clean Red Curry  

1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp ginger minced
1 jar red curry paste (4Tbsp estimate)
4 cups broth
1 15-ounce can coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 package asian stir fry veggies mix from trader joes
-or-
Mixed raw veggies of choice (example: bell pepper, onion, mushroom, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots etc.)


Put on the stove a large pot (that has a lid for later use) with the oil on medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and veggies and cook them them until they are fragrant .. just a few minutes.

Add the curry paste. Stir everything together.

After a few minutes, add the broth, coconut milk, and fish sauce. Cover with the lid and bring everything to a boil.

Let the soup simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. 

Serve!

OPTIONAL: Serve with Lime Wedge, Jalapeno slices and 1 tsp freshly chopped Cilantro.

21 day organic plant based detox to get you alkaline

Rise and Shine! 

This is my #ThrowbackThursday to last year when I did my 21 day plant based detox. The food was AMAZING! Excited to lead several ladies through this next month! 

I have a couple spots left. If you ever wanted to truly know what foods you are allergic to, what makes you bloat, what causes the headaches, rashes, acne, fatigue, emotions, infertility, cramps etc..This is the process that will tell all. 

We slowly eliminate foods to get you to an alkaline state ( cancer can't live in this state!) Then we slowly add foods back so you can see, feel and KNOW what to avoid. Honestly everyone needs to do this at least once because KNOWLEDGE is key to a happy healthy life. 

Let me know if you want one of the last 2 spots left. We start after Valentine's day. Hit me up ASAP I expect these spots to go fast. momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com

Halloween Fruit Cups

Halloween does not need to be filled of all things candy. We all know the kids will be throwing themselves onto all the candy that is handed out. So I like to make healthier options at home. Using Oranges and carving out a Jack-O-Lantern, makes this a playful after school snack. 

Halloween Fruit Cups

What you will need:

A pairing knife

Oranges

Items you want to fill the oranges with: apples, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, orange slices, blueberries, Candy, nuts...the possibilities are endless. 

Start off by cutting off the top of your orange.

Next you are going to use your knife to cut out the fruit. 

Then using your fingers, gently pull out the fruit.

Slice up the fruit you would like to put inside. 

Add your fruit to the "pumpkin orange". The citrus keeps the fruit from browning.

I cut the rind off of one of the apples and pushed it through the top of the orange to make a stem. 

You can keep them in the fridge up to 24 hours before you serve them. 

See how cute they are! 

Clean Eating Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Since I began eating clean, I am always so amazed at what I can make that tastes even better... but fuels my body rather than harms it. I have a sweet tooth just like anyone and I have those times that I HAVE to have dessert. So I have found solutions. This is one of my staples. 

If chocolate chip cookie dough is your thing, then this is the bar for you. I make a lot of larabars and everyone has their favorite. This one is mine. I love cookie dough, but I never eat it because I don't need the sugar and calories. For me, this tastes just like a great cookie dough and I cannot believe it is healthy! I told my husband I need to buy a crate of organic dates and cashews. I love that I can even eat this for breakfast and not feel guilty! 

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabars

2 cups raw cashews 

2 cups medjool dates

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

3 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips

Add your cashews to a food processor and pulse until they resemble bread crumbs. Next add your dates. Make sure the pits have been removed. Add Vanilla and pulse until fully blended. 

Add mixture to an 8x8 pan, or similar size, prepared with parchment paper. Press down firmly. Top with mini chocolate chips and press them down. 

Place in the freezer for 1 hour and then cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. 

The Best Guacamole

I love this time of year here in California. It is not uncommon to pull up to a stop sign and there be a little farmer selling bags of fresh picked avocado's for $5. I snag a bag any time I can. They grow abundantly here, and it is not uncommon to drive through a neighborhood and have boxes of them on the curb labeled "free". That is what I used to do with my lemons and limes. 

I used to be afraid of Avocado's because of their fat. After having Cancer and the doctor telling me it is a perfect fat. A fat my body needs. I was so happy! I use them in everything from ranch dressing, to salads and sandwiches. More often than not I don't even need mayo or a sauce. They make everything creamy and delicious!

So here is my all time favorite way to make Guacamole. Creamy and Chunky at the same time. It is naturally gluten-free! We went over to our friends for game night and because I didn't want to be tempted to eat food that was bad for me, I brought sliced cucumbers to dip into it. Yum! Everyone else loved the Organic chips I brought, but I was a good girl! :)

Guacamole
by Mom What's For Dinner

1 cup diced sweet onion

4 garlic cloves minced

4 serrano chiles minced (with seeds for spicy)

Juice of 2 limes 

5 ripe avocados 

coarse salt 

Put the onion, garlic, chiles,lime juice and Avocados in a bowl. 

Use a large serving fork and mix up the ingredients. Then press the fork around the sides of the bowl mashing the Avocado. This will make a chunky guacamole. If you like Cilantro, by all means add it. We love it, but I know for some people it is a cringe ingredient. ( I will never understand that way of thinking ). But I aim to please. 

There you go! The best guacamole ever! 

Set a goal, commit to a plan, tell the world!

Set a goal. Commit to a plan. Tell the world. 

Today I just successfully finished a 3 day cleanse! I am feeling on top of the world and ready to conquer my next program. So here are my before pictures. I purposely chose shorts that are too snug hoping I will fit them after. :)

Snickerdoodle Superfood Cake Clean and healthy

My daily shakeology is SO MUCH more than a SHAKE. 

.

When I first heard about BeachBody and I heard there was a " shake" I was like NO WAY!!!! if I learned anything from my cancer journey it's that a liquid lifestyle works against you in the long run. I am not a quick fix or gimmick girl.

.

BUT When I researched shakeology I found it was NOT a meal replacement shake, it was NOT a chemical full weight loss quick fix ... It was based on the old school mentality of good nutrition and working out.... It was a HEALTHY , GLUTEN-FREE, CLEAN, SUPERFOODS SHAKE and it was ACTUALLY CLEAN. ( something that's hard to come by) 

.

Wanna know what else I learned? I can make SCRUMPTIOUS cakes, cookies, pies, pancakes, waffles.. you name it.. out of it!!!!!

Guys it's not a shake....it's a SUPER HERO!!!!

This scrumptious Snickerdoodle cake takes less than 5 minutes to make. It is full of 5 salads, all your adaptagens, polynutrients, greens, and superfoods... all in one yummy dessert that makes me feel like I am cheating it is so good. 21 day fix approved (hello red container), ‪#‎clean‬ , ‪#‎glutenfree‬, Refined sugar free, and no guilt!

Snickerdoodle Superfood Cake

1 scoop vanilla shakeology

1 TBSP almond butter

1 egg

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 TBSP maple syrup

2 tsp almond milk

Mix together and pour in a prepped custard cup ( i just spread in coconut oil with my fingers).

If you want a fully cooked cake like this it is 90 seconds on high in the microwave.

If you want a lava type cake it is 60 seconds.

Healthy Clean Vegan Avocado Peanut Butter Cup Pudding

Leftovers will keep in the fridge up to a few days!

Coconut Whipped Cream

1 CAN whole pure coconut milk placed in fridge over night.

Why not you?

Mine is everywhere. 
Many of you don't know my past. You see, I have 3 college degrees. Every time I would finish one, I would find something else I wanted to learn. I have worked in early child development, Accounting, was a software engineer for 5 years, and ran my own multi million dollar business for 10 years prior to my Cancer battle... I still say this is what caused my cancer because I had to work 80 hour work weeks to keep that thing rollin'.

All of it prepared me for today. But none of it filled my soul with joy. I know I am here to help others and those other professions, just didn't fill my cup. 

Coaching entered my life during my recovery from cancer. I was led to superfoods and healing my body through nutrition and movement and it changed everything for me. 

This is NOT about weightloss.

Yes it is a side effect of eating right and moving my body. But I help many gain weight too. This is about total and complete happiness and contentment with your life. 

 I get to connect with people all over the U.S. and Canada and help encourage them on their journey and they encourage me right back. 

I can work from anywhere with a wifi connection. I have worked on sailboats, cruise ships, airplanes, trains, cars,  hotel rooms, my garden, the park, the library, the beach... you name it. 

I wake up excited to check in with my tribe and see who I can help encourage and often times, they turn around and encourage me. 

My body is stronger than it has ever been.
I look forward to Monday morning. 
I LOVE my job and would do it even if I wasn't paid to do so. 
I am encouraged to spend time developing myself, filling my tank. 
I am surrounded by like minded individuals that uplift me rather than those who bring me down.
Every day I am encouraged to continue working towards being the best version of me. 

SO my question for you is this. 
If you don't like Monday mornings and commuting, what are you going to do to fix it? 

I am accepting applications for my team. Why not you? Are you willing to put an hour a day in now, for freedom from that job and commute you hate? 

Email me at momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com and let's chat. Would love to see if this is a fit for you. This opportunity changed my life in every way you can imagine. #WhyNotYou  ???

ALL LEVELS
Many will not start their journey until they see someone at their level. I have worked with people from 300+ pounds down to people who are 90 lbs and need to put weight on! ALL LEVELS ... I cannot stress this enough. You are enough right where you are right now! 
Look forward to hearing from you!

Cafe latte is HERE! Drink Superfoods vs. Cancer causing chemicals

 

I am so excited!!! Café Latte is coming out TOMORROW!!!! 

Are you ready to make the switch to superfoods?

If you are thinking about it, and are not already working with a coach, I would love to send you a free sample of this deliciousness!  

Café Latte is so yummy, like a Starbucks coffee drink without all the additives. But that’s only part of what’s so great about the new flavor.

All the bad things about coffee are swapped out for super foods, protein, probiotics and enzymes, everything that I’ve been feeding my body for the last five years to keep it healthy and strong, including all nine essential amino acids, which you need to help build and repair muscle.

You’ll get a natural boost of energy – not a quick caffeine buzz that’s followed by a crash – so you can power through a workout and won’t be faced with any late-afternoon cravings for sugar or caffeine to help you reboot and get through the day. Shakeology essentially squashes cravings for junk food by providing more than 70 different nutrients in one delicious glass, and it offers sustainable energy that lasts throughout the day.

This costs LESS than your latte from starbucks, but this time you are giving your money to ingredients that prevent cancer, not cause it! 

Interested in changing your life? Email me at momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com and I will get a sample out to you! <3 font="">

Whole organic 21 day detox day one.

I started day one of my 21 day detox today. Even though my group doesn't start yet, I wanted to do it ahead of them so I can help them through it.

As a coach I think it's so important to go through the programs myself first. So I then know how to lead.

So this was my breakfast. 

Divine. 

I haven't felt hungry yet at all. Plenty of food. I don't agree with starving or depriving yourself. I believe in a real LIFESTYLE change where you eat real‪#‎organic‬ foods.

If you are looking to make a permanent change this year, I would like to help. I have tons of programs that I have done personally, and I help you every step of the way. Always real ‪#‎wholefoods‬ . 

🍲

Look forward to helping you make a positive permanent change.
