Veggie Love

Lovers and Haters

Some people love them, while some people hate them. What am I talking about? Vegetables. We have both types in our house. I love veggies, but my husband can’t stand them, especially green ones; it’s pretty ironic seeing the industry we’re in. Despite his dislike of veggies, my hubby eats them. Why? It’s simple, we know it’s good for our health. So to help get in his daily dose of veggies, I’ve had to get creative in how I prepare food. Check out our blog and social media

Look, we get it. Eating vegetables isn’t the sexiest thing in the world. It’s more or less a necessary evil to be healthy. It’s ideal to eat them at every meal; yes, that includes breakfast too. Below are some reasons why you should make sure to include veggies in your meals.

Food in AM

Not sure about you, but I’m the type of person who NEEDS something to eat first thing in the morning. Ever heard of hangry (a.k.a when someone gets angry because they’re super hungry)? Yep, it’s a real thing. Just ask my relatives. It isn’t pretty. With that said, I don’t like spending tons of time prepping things for their sake or mine. I likes recipes that are easy to make first thing in the morning to get my metabolism going. Healthy breakfast smoothies are perfect for this!

The following healthy breakfast smoothies do the trick. They don’t take much time to make and are healthy. Thank to Jeaninne Donofrio @LoveandLemons for providing these. Prep fruits and veggies ahead of time to make blending these healthy breakfast smoothies a breeze on busy mornings.

Veggie Frittata Muffins

Stop to Smell the Roses

Our world moves at a much faster pace than it did just a few decades the go. I think many people agree that as a society we needed to slow down a bit. Honestly, I think the pandemic has helped with that. It forced many to slow down and stop to smell the roses. I know it did for me. COVID-19 forced me to re-evaluate my priorities placing family and my health at the top. In the meantime, I found some great recipes that I want to share with you, including one for Veggie Frittata Muffins. 

Since so the convenience of going out to eat was not available, my family cooked more at home. Spending time together as a family prepping meals together was fun and a great way to bond and build memories in the process. I’ll admit, it took up a good amount of time, but it was well worth it seeing that in the process we demonstrated to our daughter how to prepare healthy foods.

Not only did the pandemic make me realize the importance of slowing down, but also the importance of preparing healthy foods, especially since gyms were closed. We had to focus even more so on what we were fueling our bodies with. It’s 75% about what you eat and only 25% the exercise piece. Therefore, even if only focusing on nutrition and only walking, you can still lose weight and/or stay in shape. Below I’ll attach a recipe for Veggie Frittata Muffins that you can prepare. Making sure I load you up with plenty of healthy recipes to keep you on track so you can reach your goals.

Five Different Frittatas

Posted on January 25, 2021 by - Health Blog

As you’ve heard me tell you in posts prior to this, fueling your body with healthy, nutritious food is crucial and so is keeping what you eat varied. With that being said, today I have for you five different frittatas. They’re all super easy to make and taste great! 

Not only are frittatas a great way to get in your protein (because of the eggs), but also it’s a great way to get your morning serving of veggies in. Since these recipes already have enough protein and veggies, round off the meal with a healthy carb. For example, make some roasted potatoes or a piece of wheat toast (but make sure to avoid lathering that with butter or jelly).
