Happy New Year! It’s 2020, which I find hard to believe. It freaks me out in a way that time flies by so fast. As this year holds a big milestone birthday for me, and I mean a really BIG one, my defining word for 2020 in my personal and professional life is----celebrate. I want to celebrate so many things this year, so that’s what we are talking about in today’s show. Let’s talk about resolutions, goals, and intentions for 2020, along with a brand-new delicious recipe.
Show Highlights:
Five themes to celebrate this year: My birthday in August-- I have cool trips planned in my quest to travel more, like Prague, Budapest, Croatia, Greece, and a cruise with my husband. A healthy planet--We need to reduce food waste and make changes to the way we shop, cook, and repurpose. My action for January is composting. (Look for a new action each month!) Simple, fast, healthy dinners--This is the #1 request I receive, and I have some great shows planned. Today’s recipe is for Easy Red Lentil and Vegetable Soup, which uses split red lentils, extra virgin olive oil, diced onion, mushrooms, minced garlic, celery seed, vegetable broth, shredded carrots, bite-sized cauliflower florets, and fresh thyme. The benefits of eating for health--Everyone is on a different diet for some reason or another. We’ll talk about these diets along with prebiotics, which feed your good gut bacteria. The power of advocacy--We want kids and families to eat healthy foods and be part of a food system that nourishes and feeds us. We’ll cover tips to becoming an advocate, along with how to read the new food labels this year.
