Hi!

Yes, I’m still alive. I’ve just been busy working, living, and enjoying the colorful month of October.

And then creating Fall foliage inspired dishes

As previously mentioned, I have been adding more plant based protein into my diet, and so far it’s going really well.

nuts&seeds, nutritional yeast, beans, edamame, broccoli, kale, peanut flour, oats, quinoa, Sunwarrior protein powder…just to name a few lol

And as for my animal based proteins…

,

wild caught salmon

egg whites, peanut flour, rice cake. Try it.

And this delicious concoction

Italian Turkey Chili.

• 1lb 99% Lean Ground Turkey, browned in a skillet with black pepper before adding to crock pot
• 1 can white beans (I used cannellini)
• 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
• 1/2 red, 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 white onion, sliced
• 1 bag frozen brown rice (I used steam fresh)
• 2 cups frozen spinach

to taste…

• oregano
• red pepper flakes
• minced garlic
• cayenne pepper
• dash of ground cinnamon

cook on low for 6 hours, or high for 4 hours.

I love when my meals look like a rainbow
