Peach Spinach Salad

September 16, 2018 by Jeanette Kimszal

The nice thing about September is there are still a lot of summer fruit and veggies still available for purchase. So take advantage of the season and fill your plate with salads until it gets too cold to eat them.

Usually my go to is arugula for the fact that it tends to stay fresh longer in my fridge. I find that other leafy greens will go bad if I buy too big a batch. However, this week I was craving spinach and picked up some fresh leafy greens to make a veggie salad. I combined organic Jersey peaches that were nice and ripe. Peaches are a great addition to make your salad a little sweeter and give it some natural color enhancement.

I topped that salad with a simple dressing that features lime juice and and extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. The lime dressing makes this salad tasty and gives you a boost of vitamin C which is great to fend off the upcoming cold season.

Don’t like hemp seeds? Add another lean protein that satisfies you.

Try this recipe out tonight before the weather gets too cold for raw veggies.

Watermelon Beet Garlic Salad

Having veggies chopped and prepped is helpful for a last minute meal idea. Today I had some leftover beets that I roasted the night before. I chopped the beets and threw them together with some other vegetables to make a quick salad in less than 30 minutes! I topped it off with some cut up watermelon for a cool and refreshing sweetness that will offset the spicy dressing featuring Wildtree Garlic Galore. If you want to add a little protein you can top it with beans, grilled chicken or hemp seeds to get some extra protein.

With only a few weeks left of summer I am trying to get as many raw veggies in as possible before the weather turns cold and I’m no longer in a salad mood. This week I opted for a no lettuce salad and let it marinate in a dressing blended with Wildtree Garlic Galore until the flavors are bursting with garlic-y deliciousness.

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

While you may be thinking why is a nutritionist advocating to eat bacon? There is room for bacon in a healthy diet (in moderation).

Bacon does have some fat, but it also is a high quality protein source according to the USDA. The fat content is a mix of saturated and un-saturated fats. The downside of bacon is that it is high in sodium but if eaten in moderation it can be part of a healthy diet. However, if you suffer from high blood pressure you may want to avoid or limit your intake of bacon. You also want to make sure you are getting enough veggies on a daily basis (strive for 4 to 5 cups a day).

Don’t just settle for any type of bacon. Be sure your meat is organic and nitrate free. One brand I like is Butcher Box. This brand is free of horones, nitrates, and added sugar. The best part is that it is delivered straight to your door. It is like a CSA for your meat.

With this recipe I wanted to show you a creative way to get more veggies into your day. Asparagus alone to some may be not the most appealing but adding a little bacon to it can make those scared of veggies love the way they taste.

Berry Pork Breakfast Patties

Berry Pork Breakfast Patties

Disclaimer: Some of these links are affiliate links, that means when you sign up or purchase from these links I might receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. However, I only promote products and services I love!

Most breakfast patty recipes will call for maple maple syrup but wanting to limit my added sugar intake I used berries instead for this recipe. The addition of raspberries gives the patties a sweetness with the benefit of added fiber. This breakfast pork patty also features the zesty arugula with shredded carrots and zucchini for an extra boost of nutrients. If you don’t eat pork you can substitute poultry in its place
