Add chia seeds…..

Did you know chia seeds are loaded with dietary fiber? Fiber is one of the best nutrients to have in your meals because it will help with weight loss and warding off autoimmune diseases. An easy way to get your fiber in is to sprinkle chia seeds on some of your meals—especially breakfast foods. Sprinkle it on a slice of toast with peanut butter, add it to your yogurt or your overnight oats, or even make a chia seed pudding for breakfast for a big fiber boost.

Sauté your spinach…..

Spinach is known for having heat-sensitive nutrients, meaning it will lose a lot of its health benefits when you cook them. Boiling tends to have the harshest effect on the nutrients in spinach. If you want to make the most of the nutrients in your spinach, sauté them quickly and enjoy it while it’s warm.

Cook at home more often……

Start eating at home! It’s the healthiest thing you can do for yourself and your family. You will automatically make better choices that have you eating less saturated fat, sodium, added sugar, and processed foods.

Rinse Your Vegetables…..

You can cut down on sodium in canned vegetables and legumes such as black beans and chickpeas by rinsing them in water. That helps lower their sodium content by up to 40 percent. But rinsing can also remove some of the vitamin C from some canned vegetables, such as peas. Using no- or low-sodium canned foods is an even easier way to keep your sodium intake in check. Or stick with fresh or unseasoned frozen vegetables.

Go for Greek…..

If you love whipped cream, reduce the saturated fat and make it go further by choosing low-fat cream and mixing it with reduced-fat Greek or vanilla yogurt.

Completely dry your meats before cooking them…..

Whether it’s roasted chicken or seared scallops, drying them ensures you’ll get a crisp, golden skin that won’t stick to the pan. Pat them dry with paper towels or let them air-dry in the cooler for a few hours before cooking them.

Love these Cast Iron Skillets…..
