Tamari Almonds
Flavored nuts have preservatives in them so I like to make my own. Use raw nuts and experiment with different seasonings and you will be pleased with the outcome!
Tamari Almonds
-
2 cups raw almonds
-
2 teaspoons coconut oil
-
2 teaspoons liquid aminos
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Mix together oil, aminos, garlic, ginger and pepper in a medium bowl. Add in almonds and stir to coat all the nuts. Cover and allow to sit for 30-60 minutes. Pour nuts onto a cookie sheet and bake at 250 for 10 min. Flip the almonds and bake another 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and keep the nuts in the oven for another hour to continue to dry. Store in an air tight container.

Move #4 & 5 in the Path to Better Health
Tip #4 & #5 – Appointment and Accountability
Since I missed posting last week’s tip, I am tying tip #4 and #5 in together since they can go hand-in-hand at times.
Tip #4 is to make your workout a priority by making an appointment with yourself. Placing it in your schedule by typing it into your smartphone calendar keeps you focused on the goal. As a mom, I love to “check off” items on my to-do list, and exercise is one thing I do for myself and, therefore, is a benefit to my family since I feel a sense of accomplishment afterward.
Tip #5 is to have accountability with a friend and make an exercise date with him or her. Once again, it’s scheduled and you are less likely to skip it. Friends also encourage and push you along the way.

Move #3 in the Path to Better Health
Tip #3 – Get Moving
In order to get the benefits of health and longevity, you must move and move quickly. In a large and prolonged study of walkers, the National Walkers’ Health Study found it necessary to walk at a pace faster than 17 minutes per mile in order to (pretty significantly) decrease one’s chances of an early mortality. So enjoy a long, happy, and healthy life by putting some spring into your step and moving faster than a snail’s pace!

Move #2 in the Path to Better Health
Tip #2 – Portion Control
I love this plate! It is a great visual to think upon as you fill a plate for lunch or dinner. Remember that your proteins should be lean (fish, chicken breast, turkey breast, organic lean beef), your grains are to be whole (brown rice, quinoa, farro, beans/legumes, or whole wheat items), and your veggies are to be lightly dressed in healthy, seasoned oils. If you are wanting to add fruit to this plate, I would replace or decrease the whole grains since these two groups (grains and fruit) are both good sources of carbohydrates.

Tip #1 – Don’t Drink Your Calories

Move #1 in the Path to Better Health
Too many times we reach for a drink and don’t even think about how many calories (i.e. sugar) we guzzle down. And too many times we hand off these drinks to our children! On the website, www.rethinkyourdrink.com, you can click on some typical beverages, like soda or sports drinks, and see just how much sugar is ingested. For example, a 32 oz container of a sports drink has the equivalent of 14 teaspoons of sugar or 23 Starbursts! If you or your little one is involved with sports, research from the College of Health Sciences faculty at Appalachian State University has shown that water and a banana gives the same hydration and carbohydrate benefits of a sports drink PLUS all the added nutrients from the banana!
If you are on the “healthy lifestyle resolution path”, this is a fairly easy change to make during this first week of 2014…and an easy way to help change the diet of little ones around you who definitely don’t need sugary drinks!
Here’s to better drink choices in 2014!

Quick Green and Orange Sauté
Eating health can be easy. Case in point? This warm and delicious saute that I made for my post-run meal (with leftovers for a weekend of The Nutcracker rehearsals and performances!)
What I used:
-
chunks of cooked sweet potatoes
-
chopped kale
-
sliced brussel sprouts
-
chopped carrots
-
chopped celery
-
diced onion
-
minced garlic
-
fennel seeds
-
Parmesan cheese
-
pepper and a bit of salt
-
touch of nutmeg
-
coconut oil
What I did:
I heated the coconut oil over medium high heat. I tossed in onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and cooked for a few minutes. I added all the other veggies and fennel seeds and cooked an additional 10 min. or so. I ended it by mixing in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cheese. Warm, flavorful, and addicting!
