I really like to make this salsa during the winter months or when tomatoes are not in season. By using canned tomatoes & adding the fresh ingredients, it creates a delicious “fresh” flavor.

I use my home canned tomatoes (tomatoes & salt) but you can pick some up from the grocery. You can adjust the amounts of tomato & cilantro to your liking.

(TIP: canning whole tomatoes is very easy. I just stuff the jars as full as I can, add 1/2-1 tsp pink salt and can.)

Roasted Buttered Salmon

This recipe is easy, delicious and very good for your body! Wild-caught salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet!

Benefits of Salmon:

High in Protein: a 4 oz filet is approximately 23 grams of protein
Omega 3 fatty acids: a VERY IMPORTANT part of a healthy YOU. (Inflammation fighter, heart health, cancer prevention, brain health)

When buying salmon, look for Alaskan WILD CAUGHT. While farm raised salmon is fattier than wild caught, most of the time it can be full of poor quality omega 6 fatty acids instead of powerful anti-inflammatory omega 3’s.

The months of November and December can be quite hectic for people! From parties & shopping to end of the year work stuff, the stress of hosting the perfect holiday dinner, lack of sleep and traveling can make the holidays a stressful time. We can end up with a few extra pounds, exhausted, stressed out and sick. It’s quite important to maintain and boost our body’s immunity during this time.

healthy holidays

The best way to boost up our immune system is through our food choices, rest and additional supplements if necessary! “Food is Medicine” Fruits and vegetables are immune powerhouses, each containing a different unique set of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Eating a variety of them is a sure way to get a sufficient amount of these essential health supporting elements.

3 Daily Action Steps To Boost Immunity

Start your day with warm lemon water. It is a great immune builder and aids digestion. It also helps balance your pH levels and flush out toxins. It is important to stay hydrated! Water and herbal teas are my favorite things to drink throughout the day. Aim to drink at least 1/2 your body weight in oz. (Ideally I recommend drinking 1 liter (33.8) oz of water per 50 lbs of body weight)
Make half of your plate vegetables. You just can’t even hardly explain how important the role of vegetables play in keeping our body in tip top shape. Eat a variety of kinds and fix them different ways to get different properties of vitamins & minerals. Example: raw, steamed, cooked, sauteed or roasted.
Stay away from processed foods/sugars/breads. These wreak havoc on our systems. They are filled with chemicals that our bodies must fight off. When we are already putting our body under extra stress, it is a good idea to take extra steps to nourish ourselves. That will help relieve some of the work your body has to do.

Bonus tip

Supplement if necessary. Take a digestive enzyme before consuming a heavy meal, keep your gut healthy with probiotics, include garlic to help fight off colds and to boost immune function and remember to take your multi-vitamin and fish oil. I also recommend taking a Vitamin D supplement as well. Most of us are deficient and this will help ward of the “wintertime blues”.

All in all, relax and ENJOY the beauty of the season!
