Fall is here

It’s that time again…. the weather is cooling and leaves are turning.  With the change of the seasons, I always find that a warm drink soothes the soul.  Whether it’s a Latte, Chai, or just a simple steamer, there always seems to be a source of comfort that comes… no matter our preference for a good drink.  It’s sometimes difficult to find a replacement for a source of comfort that outlines and sometimes defines our routines.  Many of you have changed habits to improve your health.  With those changes, we often sacrifice comfort foods.  Mind you, that doesn’t mean it’s forever….you can do anything for a short period of time!  However, finding substitutes can be difficultI’m here to Shake it Up and offer a wonderful replacement that I have recently discovered.  A nice warm Chai is always a good way to start your day, especially with the new chill in the air.  Until now that has proven to be a challenge for some of you as we have eliminated certain foods from your diet.  It’s simple and will help you start your day off right… or bring your day to a nice relaxing close.  Enjoy my friends!
In the mood for a dessert but still need to get your veggies in? This fabulous treat can be served warm or chilled depending on your mood.  Again I come to you with another wonderful cauliflower recipe!  As I experiment daily to find different options and Shake it Up, this vegetable seems to exhibit amazing flexibility in texture and taste.  It seems as though the uses are endless!  Yet again…another amazing discovery has emerged!  It’s simple and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.
 
Watch for new ideas and recipes coming up for the Holidays!  Have a happy fall!
 

Yours in Health,
