Eating well does not mean sacrificing flavor. Stick to those New Year’s resolutions with these delicious, quick, easy, and healthy recipes.
Is this for real? 2020 is up and out? Man. Dear Time, thanks for not moving fast enough through that dumpster fire! Normally, time speeds up, but 2020 took forever. March was like 9 months long. Ugh 😩
My next question is, are you making big plans and resolutions for the new year? Like, signing up for that Dance Class, and following a new fad diet?
Here’s what. I urge you so, so, so, so much to take that dance class once this pandemic deal is done, but I double urge you NOT to jump on a fad diet. That is so not going to work. It’s a surefire way to kill your resolution within the first few weeks.
Want to know what works? Smaller changes and attainable (realistic) goals.
Like, cut out the sugar. Maybe you can add more veggies and fruits to your daily diet. Have more fish. Drink a lot more water. Or, COOK MORE! YES, cook at home. I’m here to help with that! 😉
Bookmark DIETHOOD for that because, according to a Johns Hopkins study, people who eat home cooked meals consume fewer calories than those who eat out. People that eat home cooked meals consume less carbs, fats, and sugar than those who cook less.
If you are totally ready to make healthier changes, here is a collection of my favorite Healthy Recipes for the New Year that won’t leave you feeling hangry at the end of the day.
Hoping these will help to inspire you to plan for some healthy cooking in 2021! Have a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
