Keep Calm and Eat Healthy


"Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food." Hippocrates


Today's lunch was spectacular so I had to share it with you!  Most health conscious people eat salads quite often.  Romaine lettuce, Boston, Green Leaf, Endive & Radicchio, etc. and that can get boring.  So today I put together a medley of Organic Baby Spinach, Shredded Green Cabbage, Chopped Broccoli, Diced Carrots, Red Cabbage, Jicama, Green Bell Peppers, Radish & Celery, topped off with mini pearl Grape Tomatoes!  It was really delicious and a great change from my usual Romaine mix.  


I never use any sort of bottled dressing.  I am strictly an Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Balsamic or Fresh squeezed Meyer Lemon (from my lemon tree), but today's dressing was a nice change. I dressed my salad today with Bragg's Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, it complimented the shredded cabbage and other vegetables well.  If you don't already use Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar you should definitely try it.

 Apple Cider Vinegar has been highly regarded throughout history.  In 400 B.C. the great Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, used it for its amazing health qualities. 

Some Health benefits listed are:  It's Rich in Enzymes & Potassium, Supports a Healthy Immune System, Helps Control Weight, Promotes Digestion and PH Balance, Helps Soothe Dry Throats, Helps remove Body Sludge Toxins, Helps Maintain Healthy Skin, Helps promote Youthful Healthy Bodies, Soothes Irritated Skin, Relieves Muscle Pain from Exercise.

You can go directly to the website I linked here:  Bragg Live Foods for a host of amazing products I highly recommend and a company you can trust.  Bon Appétit!

Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Spinach & Salad








Our usual Saturday night dinner in Rhode Island is Seafood or Steaks, tonight I felt like something different. I was training my client Tomoko on Friday and she was telling me about her marinated pork tenderloin. It sounded great, so I decided to try it.

I used Soy Sauce, fresh Garlic, Sesame Oil, Sesame Seeds & Fresh Ginger. I marinated it a few hours, and BBQ'd it. It was spectacular! I served it with baked potato, Fresh Sauteed Spinach with Virgin Olive Oil & Garlic and a huge Romaine Salad with Tomatoes. All Veges were from the Farmer's Market. A great clean meal, and so easy!

A perfect quiet weekend by the beach & pool ending with a great "Powermeal"
