To help with the onset of the Holiday season, here are a few go to ideas for filling up on some great tasting seasonal foods before going crazy starting on Halloween! These are tasty and healthy enough that you can "Fall Into Food" and still fit into your pants!
*Squashes-Butternut, Acorn, Pumpkin- Squashes are vibrant and full of vitamins and minerals. They are also a great source of carbohydrate and fiber that will fill you up and satisfy your appetite.
*Fruits-Apples, Pears, Cranberries- Natural sugars help to make these fun to add to any meal and a decent amount of fiber to counter the sugar. Be sure to avoid sugar added cranberries, boil and simmer your own for a great sauce starter and well and desert topping.
*Nuts/Seeds: Pumpkin Seeds, Chest Nuts- Raw or roasted you cannot go wrong with these two. Add to cold or hot dishes, or just keep on hand to have a quick energy hit anytime anywhere.
*Veggies-Parsnips, Brussels, Broccoli- The heart of the meal at any time during the day. Combine with Olive oil cooked or raw to help your body get all the benefit it can from the vitamins and minerals in these amazing veggies!
*Preparation-Grill, Roast, Bake, Steam, Grill
