Gut and brain health food

Beans have great fiber to support good gut health to detox and beets are great for the brain!

Shown here is a new recipe in development: Red beans with golden yellow beets, artichoke hearts, fresh thyme and mint, carmelized shallots.

If you don't eat enough fiber, email me to receive a fiber worksheet to help you out. And if you don't eat enough veggies or beans due your taste or lifestyle, perhaps you want to check out a fiber supplement to help you get a good baseline. And if you have IBS, you might need to stay away from beets, unless you've been regular with your probiotics and digestive enzymes to reset your gut health.

Eat Healthier and Save Money with Beans and Legumes


Great report from Johns Hopkins about Beans and Legumes!

I've developed a no-brainer 3-bean chili with special guest of an extra vegetable serving of hidden and nutritious cauliflower.
Yup, that's right a chili with cauliflower--don't tell your dinner guests (or teenager) and they'll never know!
Yes, I did try this on my friend's anti-veggie teen. No questions were asked, no cauliflower was revealed!
3-bean chili and pumpkin lentil soup recipes coming soon!
