Monday Message - Meatless Monday

Mondays are not necessarily our "meatless" days but we strive to have several meatless meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the week.  Beans are a staple in our home and tofu makes a special appearance every now and then. Filling our plates with veggies, ancient grains and natural cheeses work well too in keeping our bellies satisfied. Find what works for your family and go meatless now and then - perhaps a Monday for an easy memory trigger - you will reduce your carbon footprint and save a few milligrams of cholesterol at the same time.  Need a few tips?  Check out the Kids Eat Right article here. What are your favorite Meatless Meals?

Recipe of the Week - Sweet Potato Cornbread Muffins

The Fall Harvest includes the deliciously healthy Sweet Potato!

Do not pass up the opportunity to try out a new sweet potato recipe. Make a double or triple batch for your freezer...it will beat buying a sweet potato 10 months old at the supermarket next summer to recreate this recipe. ;)

Bonus! You will get a dose of vitamins A and C by adding those sweet potatoes to cornbread muffins!

Monday Message - Potato Skin

Red, Gold, Sweet, Purple.....get  the Potato Facts from Kids Eat Right. Do not undress your potato. Instead, savor the skins by roasting potatoes and reap the benefits of the natural vitamins and minerals from the earth.  Another option, leave the skins on while you dice those potatoes before cooking to mash them up with flavorful herbs. 

What is your favorite potato recipe - with the skin intact?

What is New from Norwex, you ask?

October is an exciting month because Norwex has released the Fall lineup in the new Fall 2014 Catalog!
 

Upon browsing the online catalog, you will find the warm colors of the season in the new pomegranate kitchen towels and cloths as well as a dark teal bathmat. Not to mention, the towels and body pack now come in graphite!

For the fall harvest, Norwex has launched fresh produce bags that can be used to store your produce in an environmentally friendly way - eliminating the plastic packaging and keeping your produce fresher longer to avoid waste. In addition, new silicone lids come in two sizes to cover your food in the refrigerator, sitting on the counter or when cooking and baking. These lids are heat resistant and will keep your food airtight while eliminating the need for plastic wrap!

 

Go apple picking and store the fresh treats in your produce bags before you make homemade applesauce and store it with a silicone lid. That is just ONE idea for you, the possibilities are endless and you will be protecting the environment at the same time.

Eat Right for a Healthy Mouth and Teeth

Not only is Halloween coming, but do you remember Teachers passing out candy on a regular basis when we were in school?  No way! Sugar sweetened beverages, snacks, yogurts and even "fresh fruits" wreak havoc on our waist lines, our attention spans and even our teeth. Starting healthy oral care habits young is of utmost importance because a healthy mouth and a healthy diet go hand-in-hand. Every visit with our pediatrician is a friendly reminder that my babies need to be brushing twice a day.  For more information from Kids Eat Right, check out this article.

My Norwex Story

My Norwex story: I recently decided to join the Norwex team to learn more about how to rid my home of toxic chemicals and share this knowledge with others. 

As a Wellness Dietitian and graduate student of a Holistic Health program, I was first introduced to the damaging effect we impose on our environment through an array of websites, articles and study discussions that outlined our grave environmental impact on the planet by my passionate professors. This peaked my curiousity about the reverse idea - What impact are the plastics, chemicals and other toxins having on our human bodies?! In my search for chemical free cleaning products I came across Norwex! As I brought a new baby home, I also brought Norwex into my home and kicked my chemical-laden toxic cleaners to the curb. Two years, two babies and two houses later - these products have become a staple in my home and have saved me and my family from many chemical and toxic exposures. 

The more I learn about the environmentally friendly approach Norwex takes in carefully creating the products offered, the more I am feeling inclined to inform others of the impact Norwex can have in their homes too. Please send me an email if you are interested in learning more about the products, the company or my personal testimony! Lysandra@ymail.com
