Food and lifestyle ideas to keep you healthy
Do you say I’ve gotta get back on track with my food? I sure do, because life has a way of keeping me from consistently eating in a simple whole foods way.
The solution to getting back on track is to do a 7 day seasonal cleanse which will restore balance in your body and make it very easy to resume a simple whole foods diet afterwards - fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably organic, nuts, whole grains, seafood, antibiotic free meat, eggs, etc. - with an occasional treat.
Here's a soup for those of you looking for a little sweet in autumn.
24 oz. of chicken or vegetable stock
1 lb. butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 med. apple, peeled, cored and cut into 2-inch pieces
1sm.. onion, finely chopped
1 med. shallot, finely chopped
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dried
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried leaf
1/2 c coconut milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. finely ground pepper
Extra rosemary, parsley or thyme leaves
