So this is for all those readers who have been asking for healthier recipes. We listen to you and love to hear your feedback. Don’t worry, for those who still like to see their fair share of cookies and cakes, they will keep coming. But we will try to do better at balancing.

First of all, can I say how much we appreciate feedback? It’s so helpful to us to know what you as a whole want to hear. It gives us ideas and helps us grow our own repertoire of knowledge, research, and branching out. What would be the benefit to anyone if we didn’t try knew things or listen? We’d be in a sad and sorry state.

Healthy Eating. What a great knew craze! In our world where morals are going out the window, it’s good to know there is still good in the world. Not that eating healthy is always a moral issue, but it’s a good thing to do.

Let me quickly say that I don’t count healthy eating as depriving yourself of all desserts and fats. I am a big believer in all things in moderation. I heard a lovely quote the other day “stressed is Desserts spelled backward”. Ha ha I loved it! But, that doesn’t mean I can raid my pantry every time I’m stressed. But every once in a while, I want to cuddle up next to my hubby on the couch, watch a good show, and eat a bowl of ice cream without stressing about my calories.

Enough said on desserts, this article is supposed to be about Health! Eating Healthy doesn’t have to be expensive or hard. Make sure you’re balancing your grains, meats, dairy, veggies, fruit, and fats. Eat enough, but not too much. Add that produce in your meals and find tasty but wholesome things to make. How you manage your meals is up to you, but don’t let yourself stress over what you eat. Eating is for your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

When we eat healthy, I truly believe we are more receptive to knowledge and it helps build and lift our spirits. It is not just a physical reaction that takes place. We are happier, we are more likely to go and serve others because we have that energy, we are more likely to smile and care about others around us. Eating healthy is more of a soul thing than just a body thing.

With all of that said, I wanted to give you a recipe and a snack to add to your repertoire of good, good foods. Ones that taste good and feel good to eat. The coconut chicken is full of produce and white meat. It’s got to be chalked full with nutrients. The snack is a lowfat way to get something sweet and a great way to add some flax seed into your diet. I hope you enjoy!
