A Resolution for the New Year

     As we pass from one year to the next we look forward to doing better and being better.  And to that permit me to add "eating better."  For anyone wanting to hit the reset button and establish a more rewarding approach to food I would recommend a new cookbook and guide, Clean Slate.  The premise of the book is as much about how we eat as what we eat, since both affect our overall well-being.

     Focusing on whole (not processed) foods-- fresh produce, whole grains, and lean proteins--is a proven route to good health.  But eating clean also means preparing meals from scratch--and taking the time to savor them, without distractions.  That's the emphasis that the book is making.  It provides delicious, nutritious recipes organized into chapters, such as Replenish (breakfast), Reboot (juices and smoothies), Recharge (lunch), Reenergize (snacks). Restore (dinner), and Relax (desserts).

     Give yourself a present as you begin the New Year and go out and purchase Clean Slate.  It will be a new resource to help you make the healthiest choices, form healthy habits and enjoy a healthy relationship with food in 2015.
