Just wanted to share my thoughts on this week's menu!

Food can be so HEAVY this time of year, and this week's Green Chicken-less Lemon Soup is meant to be refreshing and light, and super nutritious. Very simple, so easy on the digestive tract and the perfect broth to sip if you're feeling under the weather! But you don't have to be under the weather to enjoy this meal. Add some shredded chicken or chickpeas for a dose of protein, and as always I recommend starting your day out with this soup as your first meal.

This week I included Radicchio in the salad. I know this isn't the most common veg to show up in your house, so figured I'd throw it in there for kicks and color to see how it went over. Radicchio is actually a type of Chickory and is in the same family as artichokes! Packed with vitamin K this is a fabulous veg to include in winter meals. But overall this salad is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins and perfect to help keep your immune system in high gear. Another light meal to "lighten the load" on your digestion when your faced with holiday cookies and apps galore.

Nacho Chick Lentils are back this week - hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I throw it all in the oven over the chips and then dig in. Such a delicious treat! Lentils are a powerhouse of nutrition a super versatile legume that can be used in place of meat in so many different dishes. Hope you enjoy!

Just your weekly food for thought!
