Many people ask us what we eat as though we might be depriving ourselves just because we eat fairly healthy. We usually laugh because we often make simple adaptations to common meals! Overall, we eat mostly gluten-free (except on weekends or a special occasion) and we try to buy quality, organic ingredients whenever we can!
Here are just a few examples of easy changes you can make while hardly noticing a change:
*When making spaghetti or lasagna, replace traditional pasta with brown rice pasta, spinach pasta or whole wheat pasta (Brown Rice Pasta is gluten-free and easy to find-here I can find it at Walmart, Target, Cub, Whole Foods, or any other natural food store). I also use Grass-fed beef/bison for meat and Organic Pasta Sauce (Bertolli's is my favorite). When making lasagna, I simply layer the rice pasta, the meat sauce, and raw mozzarella cheese until done! I've made these meals for others and no one even notices the changes!
*Instead of tortillas or taco shells, make Taco Salads with fresh, crisp lettuce/spinach and fresh toppings (Raw Cheese, tomatoes, avacados, black beans, etc.)! We have also served this over Jasmine rice and enjoyed it that way too!
*Make hamburgers, turkey burgers, or chicken sausages without the buns...or use a sprouted wheat bun! We usualy eat them bunless and add tomatoes, avacadoes, and bbq sauce (check ingredients)! Mmm, this is a tasty main dish paired with some baked sweet potato fries and a side of steamed veggies!
So, as you can see, there are simple changes that you can make to help keep your family healthier! Once you make these changes, you won't want to go back!
