Common Misconception: Bread and Cheese are bad for you, wrong!  but you shouldn't eat them all day long!  everything in moderation...   we need our fruits/veggies/beans too!  gotta feed the brain!

Caprese Salad!

This recipe is soooooo easy, and soooo delish!

1.) place basil on plate
2.) place small pieces of fresh mozzarella on top of basil
3.) place sliced tomatoes on top of mozzarella
4.) drizzle with small amount of balsamic glaze

enjoy!

TIP:  Always try to use the freshest and most organic produce and cheese you can find, your body with thank you!

Walnut/Cranberry Stuffed Brie!

 Step 1.) Take a round of brie, and cut it in half, fill both sides with walnuts and cranberries

 Step 2.) spread a very small amount of brown sugar over one half of the brie round

 Step. 3.) fit both together

 Step. 4) roll out one defrosted puff pasty sheet, and then cover your brie round completely, and then add one extra round of puff pastry to the top to keep it all together

Step 5.) bake on 400 until puff pastry is golden brown, don't worry if cheese starts oozing out, this can't be avoided unless you want to try wrapping another pastry sheet around the cheese round



This is a great appetizer, and every time I've made it people can't believe how easy it is!

Introduction

Most of us say that we don't have time to eat healthy, well, this blog is here to remedy that!  This blog is to help others make easy simple dishes that are very nutritous for the mind, body and soul.  Most of the dishes will be vegetarian, however whenever using meat, I always use the best quality, free- range, organic meat that I can find.  I hope you all enjoy this blog as much as I'll enjoy making it!
