​

Dear Reader,

When I came home from school as a kid, I was always ravenous for a snack.

"Hey Mom, what should I have for a snack?"

"Why don't you have a nice apple honey?"

Me - "🙄"

I didn't want the $%^&# apple - I wanted Doritos and Twinkies and cookies.

Can you relate? It made me so mad that was always being pawned these fruits and vegetables when I had no intention of eating them.

That mindset didn't change for many years. But now, I can proudly say that I almost always choose and want the raw cauliflower with a kick-ass dip, or an amazing honey crisp apple with almond butter or a bowlful of snap peas. I look forward to eating these things and it feels abundant, freeing and makes my body feel great, which is a reward in itself.

Because I took the rebelliousness out of it and got curious about how I could prepare vegetables and fruits in a way that I truly liked and that could be sustainable - it's become easy and its become an "intrinsic habit"

That's part of why I decided to create and run the free "30-in-7: Plant Powered Challenge".

We know WHAT we're supposed to do; we just don't always know the HOW.

I want to support you with the how.

We have over 50 amazing individuals already signed up. We would love for you to join us!

Ingredient Spotlight:

Zucchini

​

I'm not a huge zucchini and summer squash fan but there are a few ways I enjoy them. One method involves "melting" the zucchini slowly in a sautee pan with butter or oil and then adding it to a rice and tofu dish or with some other protein and grain.

Zucchini has many health benefits, including:

Eye health: Zucchini contains beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A helps with cell development in the eyes and can prevent age-related conditions like macular degeneration.

Heart health: Zucchini contains manganese, vitamin C, and potassium, which may help prevent heart disease and atherosclerosis.

Diabetes: Zucchini contains magnesium and zinc, which can help break down sugar in the body. Zucchini is also high in fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

As always, please check out some inspiring ways to cook with zucchini. You can even eat the squash blossoms!
