Go Sugar Free in 2014

Rachael White December 30, 2013

I'm not up for making a long list of resolutions this year. It may be helpful for some, but for me it almost promises absolute failure. Instead, I am simply hoping that each day brings the opportunity to make my life a healthier one. That said, I am not above seeking a little help in achieving a healthier mind, body and spirit. Therefore, starting January 1, 2014, I will be participating in the winter Go Sugar Free course with Jacqueline Smith.

Working as a recipe developer and food blogger, I find it exceedingly difficult at times to keep tabs on my diet. Sure, we eat healthy meals, but constantly tasting food throughout the day can sometimes derail my best efforts. Participating in a class, something structured and educational, is exactly what I need to get me going on the right foot in 2014.

And I have some exciting news! If you are feeling like you need to change your eating habits to sleep better, think more clearly, lose a few inches from the middle area of your body, and generally feel more whole, this class is open for enrollment through January 5! Click here if you are interested in reading more about Go Sugar Free and wish to sign up. It is a 10 week course that I'd love to go through with you! I'll be sharing recipes on Set the Table that will be delicious and sugar free. Jacqueline also has a collection of delicious meals, like thisPasta Bake, to help make the transition to sugar free even easier.

I know Jacqueline personally and can say with complete confidence that you will be immediately struck by her genuine desire to work with you and give you the motivation you need. She is an inspiring woman who is a great example of the "glow" a sugar free life can give you inside and out.

I hope you'll consider registering for her winter course! If you have any questions about the course, please leave them in the comment section below and either Jacqueline or myself will be sure to answer them.

And don't worry- I won't leave you recipeless (totally a word) at the close of 2013. Here is a perfect breakfast recipe for the morning after; the first morning of 2014 can start off fresh and healthy while also curing what ails you after holiday celebrations. Healthy kale, protein-rich eggs, and salty Asiago make for a deliciously easy breakfast, brunch, or even and easy dinner.

Kale & Asiago Frittata

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 6-8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 bunch dinosaur kale, roughly chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup shredded Asiago cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat. (Make sure your pan is oven-safe.)
  2. Add the onions and kale to the skillet and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the kale has wilted slightly, about 3 minutes.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the eggs in a large bowl.
  5. Pour the eggs into the skillet, right over the cooked kale and onion.
  6. Allow the eggs to cook until they are just set on the bottom. As the eggs cook, use a rubber (heat-proof) spatula to separate the eggs from the edge of the skillet every once in a while.
  7. Once the eggs are set on the bottom, start using the spatula to make a gap between the eggs and the skillet. Tilt the skillet so the runny eggs on top run to the bottom of the pan. Continue doing this until there is no longer a substantial amount of runny eggs on the top. The top will still appear wet.
  8. Sprinkle the top of the frittata with the Asiago cheese and place under the broiler. Cook until the cheese has melted and starts to turn golden brown in spots.
  9. Slice the fritata and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with the kinds of cheese and veggies you put in your frittata. This is a great way to use leftover meat as well!

Riley's Kale Pineapple Smoothie

Rachael White May 29, 2013

I'm really excited about this Kale Pineapple Smoothie but before I get into that, I need a mommy moment.

I’m not really sure how this happened, but Riley is a year and a half old. He has gone from being a tiny baby who couldn’t do much of anything without help from me to being a toddling, independent little boy. He runs in the backyard, climbs on the sofa, and loves buses. He loves buses the way I love him: unconditionally.

One of our favorite activities right now is going to the mall on rainy days. They have a great play area where Riley can run around with other kids and get completely worn out.  I love watching him run up to other tiny humans, bursting with things to say. Granted, nothing he says makes sense to any of the adults, but he and whatever toddler he’s chosen to communicate with use their secret language to chit chat. It’s hilariously wonderful.

After he is sufficiently worn out, Riley and I go to a little restaurant right next to the play area where he downs an entire kale and pineapple smoothie and picks at pieces of pesto turkey from my sandwich. The first time he finished one of these vitamin packed smoothies I was totally shocked. Shocked and elated because of all the good things he was voluntarily putting into his little growing body.

So, after a few tries I finally created a recipe we can make at home. Now that the weather is nicer, we can spend time outside or at the park and this smoothie is the perfect thing to take along with us. It is also a great way to supplement on those days when all Riley will eat is a combination of Cheerios and chicken nuggets.

It's hard to remember, but moms and dads need to eat healthy foods too. I sometimes fall into lulls where I am so focused on taking care of Riley that I forget to take care of myself. Fortunately, I love this smoothie just as much as Riley does. It feels wonderful putting so many healthy things into such a delicious treat that Riley can see me enjoying as well. Smoothies = me trying to set a better example.

Thanks to my darling boy for being so many shades of wonderful over the past year and a half. Cheers to you, sweet boy!
