ART’S CHUNKY GUACAMOLE
My husband is Mexican, and this recipe is a family favorite. Use it with chips at a party or on your tacos!
TRAINER NIK’S FAVORITE “COFF-TEIN” SMOOTHIE
This was my go-to mid-morning pick-me-up when I worked a desk job since I would typically fast until I got most of my work done. I find it a lot easier to get stuff done on an empty stomach (and I think most people do as well) so this smoothie/drink was the perfect thing to get some nutrients and energy but not feel too full at the same time.
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW’S CHICKEN SOUP
My mother-in-law taught me her version of chicken noodle soup, and I’ve used it ever since! Nothing earth-shaking here, just some added twists for the trying.
FARRO: The Super Grain
Farro. It’s known as a ‘supergrain’ because it’s rich in vitamins B and E. Farro also has lots of Magnesium, a mineral that helps with muscle relaxation. This recipe is from a package of farro that I got from Trader Joe’s. It’s a weeknight favorite. Fast and delicious. I’ve added some modifications to make it vegetarian or vegan-friendly if desired.
FAST, DELICIOUS, & NUTRITIOUS: Kale Salad with Apples & Cheddar
Not everyone likes kale, but this kale, apple, and cheddar salad definitely makes it more tolerable! Try using the most tender and finely chopped kale you can.
