Happy Weekend! We made it through the week!

Daylight savings…do you love it? I can’t tell you how excited I am to have more daylight, as it gives me more opportunity after work to go for a walk and absorb some D’s. Spending time outside and getting adequate Vitamin D is so important for so many systems in our bodies, and therefore our minds.

This week’s Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan includes Easy Vegan Chorizo, Coconut Curry Vegetable Soup, Chickpea and Vegetable Stir Fry, Crockpot Mushroom, and Barley, and Lentil Soup, and Sweet Potato, Quinoa and Veggie Enchilada Bake.

Have a great weekend, and happy meal prepping!

A photo tutorial on how to make artichokes Instant Pot (or pressure cooker). This quick and easy method results in perfect artichokes every time!

 

How to Cook Artichokes in the Instant Pot - a photo tutorial on preparing artichokes in a pressure cooker | TheRoastedRoot.netHave you ever struggled while making artichokes on the stove top?

Relatable?

Easy Chicken Shawarma - Deliciously flavored Mediterranean-style chicken that is quick and easy to make! | TheRoastedRoot.net #lowcarb #keto #paleo #mediterraneandiet #glutenfree

Do you follow a Paleo diet? A Mediterranean diet? Something whole food-esque that you don’t really put a name to?

I recently listened to this podcast by Dr. Ruscio  where he sites a study showing both the Paleo and the Mediterranean diets have been linked to lower instances of cancer and disease, and lengthen lifespan.

The study showed no preference over Mediterranean versus Paleo – both were equivalent in their efficacy to enhance overall health.

This to say, I find any diet that incorporates fresh, whole foods with an emphasis on adequate quality protein and unsaturated fats to be healing and ideal over a heavily processed diet.
