<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are definitely
certain foods that are harder than others to get your children to try (and
like). Even if your kids are great at trying new foods, one that can be
difficult is cauliflower. We are excited to give you a new way to incorporate
this into their diet…Cauliflower Patties. Feel free to tweek them to fit your
lifestyle and watch your kids get very excited as they watched you cook them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don’t be surprised that
when you put these in front of your kids (and spouse) that they will think they
are breakfast pancakes. They will be excited because who doesn’t LOVE pancakes?
Not only will they pass the “look test”, but as a parent, it
is most important for them to pass the taste test. We are almost positive that
they will be hooked at first bite. They will be asking for another one
before they even finish their first ones! This recipe is one for the recipe
box. Enjoy from Super Food Sisters! We suggest serving this as a side dish with
a side salad and piece of lean meat or with breakfast as a side to scrambled or
over-easy eggs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Drop the mixture by spoon fulls onto the griddle or skillet, pressing into patties with the back of your spoon so they are approximately 3 inches in diameter. Cook until golden brown and set, about 3-5 minutes per side. Keep each batch warm in the oven while you cook the rest.</span><br />

We would like to share with you a very special recipe shared
with us by one of our <a href="http://amberthiel.com/home/online-community/">Healthy Edge Community</a> members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This recipe was passed on to her from a very
special woman, her mother. Thank you for sharing Diane!</div>

Note from Diane: <i>“<span style="background: white; color: #141823; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">When you
get all the ingredients in the pot in the beginning it looks fairly watery and
like it might not taste that great but by the end of the three hours of cooking
it all comes together and it is so rich tasting and satisfying and warm.</span>”</i>

With our loyalty to our jobs (and our jobs lack of understanding that even adults get sick) sick days are non-existent! During these winter months even just a quick trip to the store can be a flu trap. While stocking up on hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes can help, keeping your immune system strong by focusing on nutritious foods is your best bet.<br />
<br />

There are many Super Foods (you know, foods that are super high in an array of nutrients) can help your immune system fight off these nasty colds and keep you feeling better than your co-workers. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are our top 10 snacks to help keep you healthy this cold and flu season:</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
1: <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Blueberries<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>– Per serving, these small superfoods are packed full of antioxidants, more so than any other fruit or vegetable! They are also high in vitamins A and C, zinc, potassium, magnesium and iron. While boosting your immunity against everyday illness, they also have been known to help fight belly fat! Talk about a win-win! Add to your oatmeal, salads, yogurt or eat by themselves!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br />
2:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Brazil nuts</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(raw and unsalted) – These delicious nuts, in their raw form, are rich in protein, omega fats and selenium. Selenium is a mineral that helps guard against colds, flu and infection. Your body only needs a small amount of selenium each day so snack on these sparingly and be sure to stick to the right serving size (serving size is 1 oz, about 6 nuts).</div>

Vitamin A is <span style="color: blue;"></span>essential for building and maintaining a healthy and strong immune system. To be a little more specific, it helps to keep our body’s first line of defense, our skin, the mucous membranes in our nose, sinuses and our mouth, healthy and ready to protect! <span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;">Check out the <a href="http://thesubscription.s3.amazonaws.com/Blog%20Recipes%20SubRecipes/Raw%20Carrot%20Salad.pdf">Raw Carrot Salad </a>from Chef Brian of <a href="http://www.getthehealthyedge.com/">The Healthy Edge</a>!</span></span></div>

<br />
4:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Fennel:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Fennel is a natural expectorant and can help clear congestion and soothe a cough. One cup of chopped fennel bulb contains almost 20% of the daily requirement of vitamin C. So chop it up and eat it raw or throw it in a salad, because vitamin C is a vitamin you defiantly want to stock up on during this season!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br />
5:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Oats</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>– Oatmeal is full of healthy nutrients such as vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron magnesium and insoluble fiber, including beta-glucan. The beta-glucan in oats contains antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. According to a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Norwegian study</b>, this strain of fiber is more potent than echinacea in boosting your immune system, speeds healing, and helps antibiotics to work better.<i><span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://superfoodsisters.blogspot.com/2012/01/baked-blueberry-oatmeal.html">Try this tasty Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Recipe!</a></span></i></div>

<br />
6:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Oranges</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>– Ditch the fizzy immune-boosting drinks promising you your dose of vitamin C and eat an orange! So much simpler! Eating an orange is the most direct way to get the valuable vitamin C found in citrus fruits. Incase you didn’t know, vitamin C helps improve the immune system, produces and repairs skin tissue and is an antioxidant against harmful free radicals. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Studies</b><b><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b>have shown that the benefits of vitamin C in helping to fight the common cold may be particularly strong when people are exposed to stress or cold weather.</div>

7:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Red Peppers</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>– While oranges are a deliciously wonderful source of vitamin C, bell peppers have almost three times the vitamin C of a medium orange. We would suggest choosing red over green, they have more vitamin C, since greens are just unripe reds!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br />
8:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Sunflower seeds</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>- A handful of sunflower seeds (unsalted) delivers a significant amount of vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that prevents damage in cell walls and is essential to lung health. Healthy<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-weight: normal;">lungs</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>mean less phlegm production.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br />
9:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Yogurt<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>- The probiotics found in yogurt help keep your digestive track free of disease-causing germs and bad bacteria. Be sure to look for the “live active cultures” addition on the label, as these are the ones that contain probiotics. Go for plain yogurt or our favorite, Greek style, and flavor it yourself with fruits, honey or granola!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br />
10:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Dark Chocolate</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>– Before you head over to the vending machine, be sure that read the rest! To enjoy the immunity-boosting benefits of dark chocolate (not the milk chocolate of your childhood Easter baskets), you have to understand the serving size we are suggesting, which is bite-sized. One-quarter ounce of dark chocolate (with a cocoa content of 70% or higher) contains the antioxidant polyphenol and high levels of zinc. </div>

Look for a sale or use other species of salmon, such as sockeye. I have even done this dish with cod, but the mustard flavor is strong for white fish, and the fish oil content is much lower.<br /><br /><b>3-4 Tablespoons Grey Poupon mustard</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">I have tried other brands, to get one that is organic, etc., but this one truly tastes best to me in this dish. The salt content is a bit high, so this is a "special treat" dish, for us. If you try this and find a better brand of Dijon style mustard with less salt, please let me know!</span></div>

them and add cranberries, dates or any other dried fruit to add nutrients. My son Chase loves these and it is so easy to put

<div class="MsoNormal">
From a Healthy Edge Graduate: "Just as you are doing right now, I’ve read a lot of “Health
Success Stories”. To be honest, when I
read them before embarking on my own journey, I always felt inspired…but still
thought I wouldn’t be willing to do what <i>they</i>
had to do to gain success. Most stories
left me thinking, “That’s great, but I don’t have that kind of willpower around
food,” or “I’m too lazy to really do that kind of activity,” or “I’m not a
runner,” or “I like what I eat too much to give it up.” To me, being healthy seemed not just HARD,
but like something I could never work into my lifestyle. We are led to believe it’s hard to get
healthy by companies advertising “Easy Weight Loss” programs or “Just take this
pill”—always looking for the “quick answer”.
I knew I didn’t want to count points, count calories, buy someone’s
prepackaged “food”, or do anything I wasn’t willing to do for the rest of my
life. </div>

I was lucky enough to have my employer sponsor my health
journey with the Healthy Edge program at a point in my life where I had finally
gotten honest with myself. I was a
ballerina when I was young and never had issues with my weight until college,
when I got busy and inactive. I had many
excuses why I stopped moving and kept eating food that didn’t serve my body
well. By the time I had all three of my
children, I was obese and “TOO BUSY” to work out. I woke up every day feeling like a skinny
girl in a fat suit. I found myself
making choices based on avoiding effort and exercise. I found myself indulging in the kinds of
foods that led me to see my blood sugars rising, my blood pressure rising, and
my cholesterol rising. I was 40 years
old and saw nothing but downhill ahead for my health. Just before beginning the Healthy Edge, I’d
gone snowshoeing with my family and was grateful when my 8 year old wanted to
turn around early because I was not sure I could make it any further. This was not the life I wanted. I wanted to break the cycle in my family and
create a different experience for my children.<o:p></o:p></div>

would be. Being healthy is making one
choice at a time—just like making unhealthy choices. I do not eat food I do not want to eat. We have explored many, many healthy foods and
<b>we</b> decide what <b>we</b> like. It does take some effort to plan and prepare
the food we want to eat, but that effort pays off every day. I no longer crave carbohydrates— something I
never thought possible—and that was after week 1! While I don’t always “want” to work out, I
know I feel better each day I do. The
best part of this journey has been how I feel—FULL OF ENERGY! I know I will never go back to old habits
because I love my new habits and how I feel. <o:p></o:p></div>

Thank you to Amber and her team at the Healthy Edge! Because you helped me believe it was in me to
do this, my whole family now leads the healthy lifestyle we’ve wanted. Five months after beginning our journey, my
husband and I have released 110 lbs. We
took a 10 mile hike with our kids and kept up with them the whole time. My husband no longer takes medication for his
blood pressure or cholesterol since both are controlled through lifestyle. I am no longer “borderline” on my blood
pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels—I’m in the normal range. I received the tools I needed to make changes
for our whole family for a whole lifetime.

If you are reading my story and are feeling the way I used
to feel, “Great for her, but I could never do it,” please know that I was there
too. Begin your healthy journey from
wherever you are today. Take the next
step and the one after and the one after that.
If I could do it—you can too. You
can love a healthy lifestyle more than what you have now and the tools at the
Healthy Edge will teach you how." <span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> ~Jennifer</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love Christmas! I love the traditions and all the people… I love that even people that are grumpy most of the year might smile if you extend a hand to help them. The meaning of Christmas is so precious to me and I remember how much I have been forgiven for and how much I want to give that love and forgiveness to others. With all the upside also comes the very serious temptation to overindulge in many comforting and delicious family traditions. </span></div>

Do you ever get tired of eating the SAME thing for breakfast day after day? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my oatmeal, eggs and smoothies, but sometimes I crave something different. With the winter months approaching, it is a definite plus so introducing a new breakfast option that warms the belly! While searching for something to satisfy my craving for a change, I came across a recipe for Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Bake. Now I have experimented with Quinoa for breakfast before with a Breakfast <a href="http://superfoodsisters.blogspot.com/2012/12/breakfast-quinoa.html" target="_blank">Quinoa Bowl</a>, and had much success. So when I found this easy bake that can be prepared on a Sunday evening, and enjoyed all week long, I had to try it.<br />
<br />
The house smelled delicious as it cooked and I couldn’t help but have a taste rather than wait for the morning. I must warn you, that straight out of the oven, it was pretty crumbly, but wow was it delicious! The morning after I rushed the kids out the door to the awaiting school bus, I cut myself a nice piece of this delicious breakfast bake, warmed it up in the microwave for a few seconds and that’s it…instant breakfast!<br />
<br />
This would be an amazing breakfast to serve to family or friends that join your for holiday festivities! Prepared the night before, it can be a welcoming aroma when guests arrive and a delicious treat to enjoy with your loved ones! Enjoy!<br />

removing the guilt. As long as it someone or something else’s fault for why we
can’t work out, it relinquishes us from taking responsibility for our own life
and results. Wow! Looking at excuses in this light, makes us realize that we
give up our power every time we use excuses. So instead of making excuses,
let’s make choices.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have a choice on how we spend our time and what exercise
looks like during the holidays. If we choose to fill our schedule and not plan
for a workout, that was our choice and we need to own it. Period. If you are committed to working out and
realize you CHOOSE whether or not that happens, you will fit exercise into your
day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This small shift in how you approach exercise through the
holidays can make ALL the difference in the world. Remember, EVERY excuse is
power given away and every CHOICE is power regained!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some great ways to fit exercise in during the
holidays if you are willing to have exercise look differently.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Buy a
pedometer.</b> Walking 10,000 steps is
one of The Five Healthy Edge Daily Goals and it absolutely counts as a workout.
If you are shopping and running errands, make choices to create opportunities
for you to walk! Having this physical
device provides accountability and ensures you hit your goal!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Workout
Videos.</b> If you struggle making it to the gym but you like to be told what
to do, workout videos are great. I LOVE workout videos. Ask yourself, do you
like to dance? Do you like to use weights? Do you like yoga? Choose the genre
of exercise you most enjoy and choose workout videos that incorporate what you
like to do. You can also get workouts with varying lengths so you can choose
the workout depending on the time you have available.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Workout
at Work.</b> For those of you that spend time in an office all day, you can incorporate
short breaks throughout your day to squeeze in mini workouts. Here are some of
my favorites:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 74.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Courier New";">o<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Wall-Sits. When you are talking on the phone or
reading, put your back against the wall and slide down into a seated position.
Hold that position and feel the burn!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 74.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Courier New";">o<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Squats or Lunges. Our business partner Brandon,
did this when we was a high school wrestler.
Every time he went to the refrigerator or bathroom, he would do 20
squats and then do lunges to travel to where he wanted to go. Choose something
you do often throughout your day and create a workout around it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 74.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Courier New";">o<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Push-ups. Once every hour, drop and do 20 – 50 push-ups.
You can do push-ups against the wall, on your knees or good ole athlete style. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 74.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Courier New";">o<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Stairs. Every opportunity to take the stairs is
an opportunity to get a great leg, buttocks and cardio workout. I purposely run
up and down our stairs 3-5 times after sitting for long periods of time. Track
how many “sets” you do each day and set goals to increase.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 74.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Lunch Break. If you work a traditional job, you
probably enjoy a 30 – 60 minute lunch break. If you choose to walk for ½ of your
lunch break, how amazing would you feel? Who else could you enroll to walk with
you? If it’s too cold outside, find a flight of stairs and go for it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 74.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Yoga. If you are familiar with some basic yoga
poses, this is great to do at the beginning of your work day, during lunch and
at the end your work day. Five minutes and 2-3 poses is all that is required.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Join a
Class.</b> If you lack self-motivation and need accountability, join a workout
class. Choose a time that is convenient such as immediately after work or
during your lunch break so it is built into your schedule and driving route.
This only needs to be 1-3 times a week. Everything matters!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Make it a
Family Affair</b>. How can you get your family involved? Do the kids have a <i>Wii </i>that has games such as <i>Just Dance, Exerbeat </i>or<i> NFL Training Camp </i>that makes moving
fun? <i> </i>Does your family enjoy skiing,
snowboarding, cross-country skiing or sledding? These are all considered
exercise!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are willing to look at exercise as part of your day
and you are not committed to what it looks like then these tips can work for
you. The result will be less jiggle in your middle and a renewed sense of
confidence.<o:p></o:p></div>

healthy mind and body during the holidays. Previously we have talked about how to
avoid overindulging at holiday parties by focusing on the hours before the
party. We must be willing to ignore the voices in our heads telling us to “save
up calories.” or “It’s the holidays, you deserve it!” Now, let’s address another set of
voices that we have around alcohol. Yes, I am going to talk about your wine…but
remember it’s my wine too! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve been
there. I have had those crazy voices tell me:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Don’t eat, just drink.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Just drink vodka, it’s clear and less
calories.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">I will just “drink” my dinner.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">I won’t feel bloated if I just drink
and don’t eat food.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">I need alcohol to relax. I deserve it
after the week I’ve had!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">I need alcohol to get through the
emotional rollercoaster of the holidays.</span></li>
</ul>
<!--[if !supportLists]--><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Identify the
voice that most closely represents how you feel during the holidays, or perhaps
it is one that is not mentioned. Now choose whether or not you view these
thoughts and subsequent actions as something you want to change. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Personally,
I made a commitment to not struggle through one more holiday season drinking
away my sorrows. At 23 my mom died of cancer and for five years I drank to get
through the holidays. It was too much to bear that she wasn’t around. My belief
was the holiday season would never be the same joyous time I had remembered as
a kid and each year I relentlessly punished my body and drowned my sorrows in
alcohol. Some of you know exactly what I am talking about, although the tough
memories may be different from mine. People
with these voices spend holiday parties drinking so we can relax and act happy
to hide how we are really feeling. For people experiencing sadness and loss
during the holidays, there is healing, but it’s not at the bottom of a bottle!
You can do it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Okay, enough
of the serious talk! Let’s first get something straight, I enjoy me some red
wine and those of you who know me can attest to this! During the holidays,
however, it seems that the once a week party/event can easily turn into a four
day a week drinking binge if we are not careful. This can absolutely affect !our
health and our waistline, not to mention our moods. So, how do we enjoy
“spirits” without taking out the fun or being anti-social?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It’s how
you approach the drink. A trick that works for me is to order the most
expensive glass of wine on the menu. Although your husband may give you the
look of death, the reasoning is that I drink a $6.00 dollar glass of wine much
different (and faster) than a $25.00 glass of wine! This is a reality check
behind the <i>reason</i> you are drinking. Are
you drinking to relax, stuff your feelings or be someone different or do you
really enjoy drinking the wine? Is it about quantity or quality?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>

Sometimes I just want to hold a really pretty glass with a cute thin straw.
There doesn’t even need to be alcohol in the glass, although it will appear to
others that there is! If you are a social drinker and sometimes feel pressure
to drink at EVERY event because everyone else is, try having ice, spritzer
water, a splash of cranberry juice, a squeezed lime and a straw! This is not
only delicious, but it looks like a legit cocktail! I love to have these ingredients on hand at
home during the holidays if I feel like enjoying a fun drink to kick back and
relax with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

are attending a party where you bring your own drinks, ONLY bring the amount
you want to drink! Make this decision while you are rational and not caught up
in the moment of the party. Leave no room for a conversation with yourself
about overindulging. If you don’t have it, you don’t drink it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

have probably heard this before, but have you done it? <br />
Drink water between every alcoholic drink. It works. Drinking alcohol is
EXTREMELY dehydrating and is very toxic, so your body will appreciate an
opportunity to detoxify and rehydrate. Sip the water, don’t chug. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>

Because of my tendencies to get sad during the holidays, I
choose to keep my home safe and free of wine because it is a trigger for me. Is
alcohol in your home a trigger for you? What specifically? Do you find yourself
using “it’s the holidays” as an excuse to indulge throughout the week either by
yourself or with your partner? Don’t rely on willpower when it comes to alcohol
in your home! Set yourself up to win!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Remember,
you first have to evaluate your behavior and reasons for indulging in alcohol
and determine if you want something different this holiday season. It is empowering for me to have other outlets
to deal with my sadness, stress, frustrations, etc. without alcohol. A glass of wine no longer controls whether I
stuff or unload my emotions. You can have this same freedom too! Cheers to your
health and empowerment!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

created longer than 24 hours prior to your meal! Even if you are not a planner, this is
crucial to preserve your sanity and to keep you organized and focused. List all
categories or types of recipes you are searching for; soups, dips, stuffing,
gravy, potatoes, turkey, desserts etc. If you need some simple and healthy
ideas for traditional holiday meals in these categories, check out this <u><a href="http://thesubscription.s3.amazonaws.com/HolidayRecipesCookbookFinal%20%282%29.pdf" target="_blank">economical cookbook</a></u>. Print out or copy every
recipe that you will be preparing and from those recipes, create your grocery
list, putting down only the items you will need to purchase from the store. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tip #2: Create a timeline.</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What recipes are you able to make one, two or even three days
before your holiday gathering? Fixing holiday meals does NOT need to happen all
in one day (or by one person, see next tip)!
Many dips and desserts can be made well ahead of time. What meals have
to be prepared the day of? Put your recipes in order of most time to least
amount of time they will take to prepare and cook or chill. Set the time you
want dinner served and work backwards to create a timeline of when each recipe
needs to begin in order to be put in the oven and/or refrigerator and ready by
dinner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tip #3: Ask for support.</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my favorite tip for fixing holiday meals! Are you a
“do it all” type of person? I bet that shows up in your life a lot! Many times
your friends and family will ask if there is anything they can bring to the
feast. How often do you say “yes” and also offer them a recipe to prepare? If
you have a “vision” of what the feast will look like and people are eager to
contribute, let them bring recipes that are already on your menu for the meal!
If you are also focusing on creating a healthy holiday meal, this will ensure
that your theme stays true. Asking for
support is also useful when it comes to finding recipes that fit into your
healthy criteria! What have other people done? (Be sure to ask people that are
actually on a health journey or you may be disappointed with the recipes they
suggest.)<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Tip #4: The cook doesn’t do the dishes!</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had to throw this tip in! This is a simple rule that works
if you use it. After fixing a holiday meal for hours (or possibly days), the
LAST thing on your “fun list” is doing the dishes. We have a rule in our house
that you either cook or clean. If the women are cooking, then the men are
cleaning! It’s only fair! After all, lowering your stress and relaxing is a
healthy way to end a healthy meal!<o:p></o:p></div>

What about the possibility to actually RELEASE weight during the holidays? There are MANY people who make it through the holidays without gaining weight…it has been done. However, if you don’t believe YOU can do it, you will find yourself repeating the same pattern from years past. The only limits you have are the limits you have placed in your life. Are you ready to breakthrough and create something different and exciting in your life?<br />
<br />
<br />
Let’s start with the foundation of our healthy journey: remembering your “WHY” for being healthy. There is not a better time than the holidays to remember what is really important in life. As you spend time with the people who mean the most to you, realize that your health is what allows you the time and energy to truly enjoy the experiences and memories. Being sick, depressed, tired and overweight is no way to spend the holidays or your life for that matter.<br />
<br />
Here are some guiding principles of The Healthy Edge lifestyle to maximize your health during the holidays.<br />
<br />
1. EAT! Skipping meals or starving yourself to “save up” calories for a holiday dinner/party is an equation for disaster. This leads to carbohydrate binges, overeating, energy crashes, decreased metabolism and unwanted storage of fat all wrapped up in some self-loathing. Be sure to eat a low-glycemic breakfast within an hour of waking and continue to fuel your body every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism burning, your energy soaring and your appetite in check.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcFmbdHseYzicAhAJvyEL2EC3M6PEk8bFZacrk1cnjEpwcLdjP31bRj1KGDOHKeeh9z2U9SzlaXigxLCHcb6jg2bZE34zXerHxrshsaqBdNiaqvmrC66duR61owbL9fPbXuEZr8kbn1g/s1600/water-xmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcFmbdHseYzicAhAJvyEL2EC3M6PEk8bFZacrk1cnjEpwcLdjP31bRj1KGDOHKeeh9z2U9SzlaXigxLCHcb6jg2bZE34zXerHxrshsaqBdNiaqvmrC66duR61owbL9fPbXuEZr8kbn1g/s1600/water-xmas.jpg" height="187" width="200" /></a><br />
2. Drink 80 oz. or more of water daily. As one of the guiding Healthy Edge principles, drinking water will keep you energized and supports weight release. Many people mistake “hunger” for “thirst” and as “spirits” flow at your holiday events, water can ensure that the next morning isn’t accompanied by a headache.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Create new traditions with food. Instead of Great Grandma’s pound cake or the “cheese ball” you make each year, what about embracing the idea of doing something different (and healthy)? Prepare and bring “Healthy Edge” dishes to parties so you can feel confident of your food choices! Raspberry Quinoa Applesauce, Brown Basmati Rice and Apple Stuffing, Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Cauliflower Gratin with Gruyere Cheese are among the favorites! What a treat to enjoy flavorful and healthy food and not end up on the couch with your pants<br />
unbuttoned!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuQXef5ETb4K7FrI2n8yE0d9NcikbdUmCnnugSqIWdcn0CPJ2_ZdRYCO6GQLG7_zgoc7-T3Q57GsJ0kOTQoirBGKihCz5o75knTTwmG5PXMsn2OgQujFonS4JBpyqssYeAEraIoZH6c_E/s1600/1112-tis-the-season.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuQXef5ETb4K7FrI2n8yE0d9NcikbdUmCnnugSqIWdcn0CPJ2_ZdRYCO6GQLG7_zgoc7-T3Q57GsJ0kOTQoirBGKihCz5o75knTTwmG5PXMsn2OgQujFonS4JBpyqssYeAEraIoZH6c_E/s1600/1112-tis-the-season.jpg" height="138" width="200" /></a>4. Commit to exercise. I know, when do you possibly have time to exercise during the holidays? Make a minimal commitment of exercising three days a week instead of taking the entire holiday season off. Workout DVD’s are great during the holidays when the weather keeps you inside. Cleaning your house for guests can become an opportunity for a built in workout. Exercise makes you more sensitive to your insulin levels, revs up your metabolism and puts you in a better mood along with the amazing health benefits for your heart and lungs.<br />
<br />
5. Keep your environment safe. Probably the most powerful tip in The Healthy Edge lifestyle is controlling your environment. Commit to keeping your refrigerator and pantry a safe haven, full of whole grains, fruit, vegetable, lean meats, nuts and beans. Choose to NOT bring home leftovers or sweets from the office or parties. The Healthy Edge Cookbook is an incredible resource for quick, easy and delicious recipes and can be found at your local Marlene’s Market.<br />

The holidays would
come along and all self-control (and reason) went out the window. I remember
the evil little voice inside me saying, “Come on, it’s a party!” or “It’s okay,
it’s the holidays, indulge!” and the almighty “You deserve it”. Fast forward to after a couple glasses of
wine and the voice would say, “Well, since you’ve come this far, you might as
well go for it and really blow it!” Please tell me I am not the only one who
hears these types of voices.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="" name="OLE_LINK1"><br /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember feeling the guilt of the choices I made the night (or
even week) before as I would drive to the next evening’s festivity. My guilt and
bruised self-esteem would allow the voice to kick in and say, “Go for it Amber,
after all, the holidays only last a couple of months. You’ll get back at it in
January!” But after too many holidays
that left me feeling run down, sick, pudgy and depressed, I decided enough is
enough! So for all you people, who feel enough is enough, read on!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I discovered there are ways to not only ENJOY the holidays, but
preserve and perhaps rediscover your self-worth while dropping a pant size.
YES, ladies, it is possible to actually drop a pant size (or more) through the
holidays and I’m not talking about buying a pair of spanks or getting it sucked
out of your gut. Seriously, how amazing would you feel if you didn’t gain one
single pound this holiday season and you didn’t have to do the dreaded “d” word
(diet)? This is the year, my friend! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is the first tip and the essence of my personal “party animal”
mode for the holidays. I never, ever (did I mention NEVER) show up to a party
or event hungry…EVER! The “old self-sabotaging” Amber denied herself all day in
order to save up calories for a party. Some of you are chuckling, because you
know EXACTLY what I am talking about.
Somehow the math added up in my head that if I barely ate all day then I
deserved to eat and drink uncontrollably and it wouldn’t affect my weight.
Unfortunately our body’s metabolism (that some of you claims has STOPPED)
doesn’t appreciate this type of behavior and it will ultimately backfire (if it
hasn’t yet, TRUST me it will!). Not only will you consume more calories, your
body will REFUSE to efficiently burn those calories because of the deprivation
that happened earlier in the day. For those non-believers, read
on!</div>

All of these things can be linked to our obsessive behavior

in behavior will be an increased energy level.
People will be commenting on how great you look rather than asking you “what’s
wrong”. (“What’s wrong” usually means “you look like poo.”) You will enjoy the true
reason you love to attend parties in the first place which is to connect with
people you love and meet new people you can love! <o:p></o:p></div>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It would happen EVERY year. The
holidays would come along and all self-control (and reason) went out the
window. I remember the evil little voice inside me saying, “Come on,
it’s a party!” or “It’s okay, it’s the holidays, indulge!” and the
almighty “You deserve it”. Fast forward to after a couple glasses of
wine and the voice would say, “Well, since you’ve come this far, you
might as well go for it and really blow it!” Please tell me I am not the
only one who hears these types of voices.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></center>
<br />
I remember feeling the guilt of the choices
I made the night (or even week) before as I would drive to the next
evening’s festivity. My guilt and bruised self-esteem would allow the
voice to kick in and say, “Go for it Amber, after all, the holidays only
last a couple of months. You’ll get back at it in January!” But after
too many holidays that left me feeling run down, sick, pudgy and
depressed, I decided enough is enough! So for all you people, who feel
enough is enough, please read on!<br />
<br />
I discovered there are ways to not only
ENJOY the holidays, but preserve and perhaps rediscover your self-worth
while dropping a pant size. YES, it is possible to actually drop a pant
size (or more) through the holidays and I’m not talking about buying a
pair of spanks or getting it surgically sucked out of your gut.
Seriously, how amazing would you feel if you didn’t gain one single
pound this holiday season and you didn’t have to do the dreaded “d” word
(diet)? This is the year, my friend!<br />
<br />
The Healthy Edge is here to support you this Holiday Season!! They are offering the PERFECT 4-part series for you
PARTY ANIMALS (or not) who want to remain empowered and in control
during the holidays! <a href="http://youtu.be/RtYW6wDnD60" target="_blank">Watch this Introductory Video</a> to learn more!!<br />
<br />
This series will consist of 4 15-20 minute power audios to keep you on track this Holiday!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzjeUtgywVaOMJVN1k0wS4B6BQe5jmq_392Xp_I17IzfcQO0XTcyG3gqn6Z1kXOkGwFJboGEdumjfReEubgAeCBIFrNC2nYjGNJuY5BUh3tC09dLIASSLR4Qafzv70jagPh4nM3bSS4nQ/s1600/party-animal_l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzjeUtgywVaOMJVN1k0wS4B6BQe5jmq_392Xp_I17IzfcQO0XTcyG3gqn6Z1kXOkGwFJboGEdumjfReEubgAeCBIFrNC2nYjGNJuY5BUh3tC09dLIASSLR4Qafzv70jagPh4nM3bSS4nQ/s1600/party-animal_l.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Part I: Identify Your Holiday Personality </strong></span><br />
Are you a party animal? A wall-flower? A people-pleaser? How you do
anything is how you do everything.<br />
Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is
pain. When you discover HOW your personality style deals with the
holiday season, you will start to see the story you tell yourself that
leads to predictable behaviors and patterns. With knowledge, comes
power. With power comes empowerment. Get ready to discover your holiday
story and re-write it for 2014.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Part II: Setting Yourself Up to Win </span></strong><br />
Do you save up your calories for the holiday party later that
evening? Or are you someone who controls themselves, but takes home
leftovers and indulges in the privacy of your own home? Lovingly, I
would like to ask you, how does that work for you? I’m not a fan
willpower or all-or-nothing living. I prefer to be empowered and
in-control. What if there was a way to set yourself up to feel
completely empowered and in control of your actions at parties and
emotions during the holidays? I am excited to set you up with the keys
to put you back in the driver’s seat of your own health and happiness.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Part III: Dealing with The Family Dysfunction</span></strong><br />
We all have a bit of dysfunction in our families (and friends). It’s
amazing how quickly we can be transported to the memories and feelings
of the past by a word, phrase, look or act. It may be what your
“mother-in-law” says every year about your cooking, or how your father
passive-aggressively talks about your mother, or how your sibling(s)
always have a way of making you feel like you are trying to be better
than everyone else. Whatever your story or situation, I get it. So it’s
important we talk about it. You may have all of the best intentions to
stay on track during the holidays, but when you are immersed in
resentment, it is easy to look for a way to self-medicate. This usually
leads to saying something you regret and the dysfunction escalates. I
will give you some incredible insight and coping skills to deal with
your family dysfunction and avoid the negative health effects of
drinking and eating.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Part IV: Busting Through To a Breakthrough.</span></strong><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVefXbtyey86CNChGEfU7Jm6xMvN_EjlnQEK4_VpQrOHAzq7XW5lS9_Qp0jLB_1H9CGQsu2QHamZJHcWNy_bqEfbXZ1qiBqLq3dVQx0EV9Slo_VQGLIHrqadbxxiIp08YPEwHs6Hg7lWs/s1600/123-xmas-health-041111-33064598.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVefXbtyey86CNChGEfU7Jm6xMvN_EjlnQEK4_VpQrOHAzq7XW5lS9_Qp0jLB_1H9CGQsu2QHamZJHcWNy_bqEfbXZ1qiBqLq3dVQx0EV9Slo_VQGLIHrqadbxxiIp08YPEwHs6Hg7lWs/s1600/123-xmas-health-041111-33064598.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a>We all desire to grow and expand our lives (not our waistlines). This
final audio is going to give you an opportunity to explore what may be
holding you back from actually executing a different strategy this year
during the holidays. It’s our belief systems. Get ready to bring to
light the beliefs that drive your actions, even if the actions produce
results you don’t want! We will discuss how we make choices to move away
from pain or towards pleasure, especially around food, alcohol,
exercise and eating healthy during the holidays. This is a powerful
lesson that will has the power to transform your current and future
health reality.<br />

It was one of the first chilly fall days and ALL that I
could think of was enjoying a hot and soothing bowl of chili. Because I had failed
to plan that day and put the chili in the crockpot, I found myself looking in
the refrigerator and pantry at 5:00 trying to find something that would satisfy
my appetite. I came up with this dish that did the trick and took less than 20
minutes to prep and cook.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I suggest serving this stew over cooked quinoa, brown rice
or sprouted whole grain pasta, it becomes a delicious sauce bursting with
flavors due to all of the seasoning. If you have kids that are picky about
onions, be sure to finely chop the onions. As you cook them, they will soften
and blend into the tomatoes avoiding the crunchy texture that most kids (and some
adults) dislike.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most of the ingredients are spices along with black beans,
onions and tomatoes. You can add more black beans for additional fiber and more
protein, and increase the cayenne pepper if you like a more intense kick. You
can easily add chicken or beef to this dish for the meat loving family. If you
do not have quinoa, rice or sprouted grain pasta already prepared, be sure to
begin cooking these before you begin prepping and preparing this meal.</div>

So it’s that time of year again…the candy filled craziness
of Halloween. Many of you may remember
our <a href="http://superfoodsisters.blogspot.com/2012/10/candy-exchange.html" target="_blank">Candy Exchange</a> method when it comes to the full bags of
candy that many of our children will accumulate through Halloween parties and Trick-or-Treat.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We still implement the Candy Exchange method in our
homes. If the kiddos decide to trade in
their candy, they get FIVE WHOLE DOLLARS to take to the Dollar Tree and roam
the store picking out any five things that they feel, “they just can’t live
without”. The candy can then be donated to
your spouse’s work place or literally thrown away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Below you will find five fun and delicious options to keep
Halloween entertaining (and healthy) for your kids. They all would make perfect ideas for school
parties or any Halloween party you are invited to or hosting. We would love to hear your Halloween
traditions and treat ideas! <o:p></o:p></div>

Butternut Squash is considered a winter squash, not because
it is grown in the winter months, but because it is harvested in the fall and
can last throughout the winter months. You
may not have the faintest idea what to do with this “winter” squash, but the
options are plentiful! From soups to
desserts, butternut squash has wonderful health benefits and a delicious sweet
taste!<o:p></o:p></div>

This bisque has become a family favorite! I cannot tell you the joy I felt when I served
this bisque to my son and daughter and they asked if their was leftovers and if
we could have it for lunch tomorrow in our thermos. Wow! Total approval from a 5 and 7 year old! Hope
you enjoy this bisque as much as we do! <o:p></o:p></div>

Have you ever come across a recipe that you just HAD to try? This recipe sparked my interest by featuring two of my favorite ingredients: garlic and lemon. Simple ingredients that pack a punch! <br />
If you have children, I am sure that they love to help in the kitchen (that is if they are still young enough to want to help out mom). I gave my daughter the job of trimming the green beans by snapping off the ends. Some of the best memories are when you are creating something together with your children. This recipe provides a great opportunity to do just that along with creating something healthy and delicious to eat!<br />

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a
large baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive
oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the
dish or skillet.<br /> <br /> 2. In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil,
lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; add the green beans and toss to
coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the green beans and arrange
them on top of the lemon slices. Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil
mixture and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, arrange the
potatoes along the inside edge of the dish or skillet on top of the
green beans. Place the chicken in the same bowl with the olive-oil
mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the chicken, skin-side up, in the
dish or skillet. Pour any of the remaining olive-oil mixture over the
chicken.<br /> <br /> 3. Roast for 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the dish
or skillet. Place the beans and potatoes back in oven for 10 minutes
more or until the potatoes are tender. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
• You can use canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (check ingredients) or make </div>

your own. Combine 12-15 dried chipotle chiles (stemmed and seeds removed), </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
with 3 cups water, ½ medium sweet onion (diced), 6 tbsp organic ketchup, ½ tsp </div>

sea salt, 2 cloves garlic (diced), and 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar in a covered </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

On hot summer days, there is nothing better than turning on a grill outside. The very thought of cooking over a hot stove or putting something in the oven seems so wrong during the summer months. Fish is a delicious and light summer meal that can easily be prepared on the grill. Full of wonderful flavor, this is a quick and healthy way to prepare your fish with minimal effort.<br />
<br />
As well as being an excellent source of protein, white fish types are also rich in vitamins and minerals. As with many fish, meats and vegetables out there, the health benefits of them<br />
all depend on the way you prepare it! Here is a recipe that tastes delicious and keeps it healthy!<br />
<br />
For a full meal, try making a zucchini and yellow squash foil packet to cook alongside of your fish! Simply slice up your zucchini and squash, add a little olive oil and seasonings of your choice, wrap in foil and put on the grill next to your fish packets. Note that the squash may take a little longer than the fish so you may want to put it on first.<br />
<br />

<br />
4-5 pieces of white fish of your preference<br />
Olive oil<br />
1 lemon, sliced<br />
Fresh rosemary sprigs<br />
Salt and pepper<br />
Aluminum foil<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Tear off pieces of foil big enough to make a packet for each piece of fish. Brush the fish lightly with olive oil. Lay on foil, season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay a slice of lemon and 1-2 sprigs of rosemary on each piece of fish. Fold foil over fish to make a packet.<br />
<br />
2. Place on heated grill over low heat for 10 – 15 minutes or until fish is opaque and flaking apart. Dispose of lemon and rosemary and enjoy!<br />
