Greetings!
There is no need to fear the holidays when
you view
them as part of living your life, and not a
time to be "off"
your diet. The truth is, it's not a diet,
it's your life
that
you are on, and you can't be off your
life.
As my dear nutrition teacher
used to say,
"This isn't a dress rehearsal - it's the
real thing."
Why wait for Monday morning or January 1 to
start living? You're on stage now - so start
the show!
Maybe
you've taken the first step - you've
incorporated green
smoothies
into your day, or joined a gym - now keep the
momentum going, and take it to the next
level. Get the
support you need to carry
on through the holidays without that old diet
mentality
that never worked anyway.
Join
Feeding
Your Life
this month for some free yoga and organic
lunch, try this month's healthy
holiday recipe,
or
register for the January group program to
uncover
the
healthy you that is just itching to get
out and start
living.

Recipe of the Month
Holiday greens
With all the sides at the holiday table, it's
easy to
forget your greens. You won't believe how
tasty this
dish is ~ you can enjoy the flavors and feel so
good about it. You will be thankful once you
try it!
Holiday greens
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced
8 oz baby portobello mushrooms, trimmed and
quartered
2 tsp Celtic sea salt (gray)
1/4 cup vegetable broth or white wine
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds
green beans, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch
pieces
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1
bunch kale (1/2 pound), rinsed, stemmed, and
roughly
chopped
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons finely grated Grana Padano
(optional)
Warm the olive oil in a large, heavy sauté
pan over
medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until
translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the
mushrooms,
green beans, salt, and pepper and cook for 2
minutes.
Add the broth or wine and continue cooking
until the
green beans are almost tender, about 5
minutes. Add
the red pepper flakes and the kale and continue
cooking until the kale has wilted, about 4 to
5 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and the grated cheese, if
using.
Toss to coat and serve immediately
