Image result for healthy kitchen

Do you cook a lot? Do you cook at all? When you cook, is it fresh or from a box or bag?

Did you know cooking once or twice a week can really set you up for better health and save some cash?

  • On average, most Americans eat out over 5 times a week.
  • Eating out is typically 5 times more expensive than cooking at home.
  • Eating out increases coronary heart disease by 80%...
What is your challenge to cooking at home? Time? Skill or confidence in the kitchen? Knowing what to cook?

Nick to the Plus is here to help. QueenT and I are trying to get into the habit of cooking every Sunday for the week. Our goal is to cook at least two meals to have some variety in the week for lunch and dinner. These days even with time as a factor we can now plan out our week ahead and order from H-E-B Curbside or Favor. We recently signed up for Rich Roll's Plant Power Meal Planner. This app is awesome, where we can pick out our healthy meals for the week and it make a grocery list for us. This combination in meal planning make life so much more simple, healthier and on a budget!

If you are interested in exploring these options or more, let us know, we are here to help!

Here are 3 more ways to Create a Healthy Kitchen for meal prep-

  1. Leave appealing water pitchers and or bowls of fruit (no in packaging or wrapped) but in clear view. This way you think of drinking good water or healthy fruit snacks when you are in the kitchen.
  2. Print out healthy recipes you want to try and put them on the refrigerator. Go that extra step and list what you need for ingredients and schedule the day you are going to go shopping or sit down and order online.
  3. Plant and in home garden or a windowsill herb garden so you know what you are getting and where it came from.

Waking up on Saturday Morning

Image
This morning we slept in. I guess when I have the option, I’ll sleep in. Most days I’m up before 6, 6 is the latest. Most Saturday’s I am up for an event, working, volunteering, supporting others or racing. This is TriLife. I love waking up before the sun. The morning air, hearing the birds wake up. The calm that most people are not up and no traffic. My absolute favorite way to wake up is swim in the Comal from LPE ( Last Public Exit) I also love the feeling, that is not too often, is waking up on a Saturday and not having to go to work, but to work on the things I want. How do you fell when you don’t have to go to work but you can work on the things you want? I am not talking about doing yard work, carting family around, paying bills... I am talking about the things YOU want to do, the things that make you feel like you are creative, like you produced something, something that is a personal accomplishment. This can also include exercise, self development, learning. How often d

Wrath of the Titans (2012) Cyclops Attack Scene - Cyclops Battle - Movie Clip HD TM & © Warner Bros. (2012) Fair use. Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 This is what I think about when I think about mono-cropping. This is strictly from my experience and from what I have learned, I am not an expert. Mono-cropping, has one crop, one function, one eye, one perspective, one intention, and one fatal outcome.  Mono-cropping with Glyphosate is like everywhere the Cyclops was he had deadly farts to everything around him. This is not to fart from the truth. I honestly don't not know what Glyphosate smells like, but it for sure is deadly to all biology except GMO it touches.

Living to the Plus- Connection- Networking- Groups - Mentors - Leaders- Servant Leaders

How is your connection or connections? Do you have a support chain or network? Do you know networking is one of the greatest super powers? The phrase "it's not what you know but who you know" can truly be used to your advantage or detriment on how you use your network. If you have a passion or an objective, you can only do so much alone. Yet if you have an established network of resources, you can ask for help, delegate and collaborate to accomplish your goal faster, stronger and more effective. Another form of networking is groups and a way to connect. Weather it be on social media or (not in Vid-19 times) in person. Groups offer a bank of people and resources. If you utilize them effectively they can help motivate, keep you accountable and to help you reach your goals. What groups are you in and how do they benefit you? They say in order to become a Master at something you have to do that action or skill 10,000 times. Are you a Master at anything? How much time or times
