Foodness Gracious - Week 54

Recipes

I have family members that get very scared when the word “spicy” is thrown about when we refer to any recipe.

“Spicy” is not meant to stir fear in eaters far and wide! It is a word, in my house, that means flavor and excited taste buds.

These “spicy potatoes” have a blend of amazing spices that will send your taste buds to new heights. A perfect blend of paprika, cumin and chili powder take typically boring potatoes and evolve them into a delicious side for any protein (steak, shrimp, chicken, etc.).

Give these a try this week. If you are a real fan of spice, toss a little red pepper flakes or cayenne in as well…that might raise some fear, but your taste buds will thank you!

Reviews

I have been working really hard to fight off those extra pounds that inevitably happen over the holidays. This has led me to doing some delicious protein smoothies that are both filling and fun.

Talk about something you can put your own “spin” on and “mix it up” (wow, two puns in a row) to have something different nearly every single day.

You will need a quality blender if you want to chop up those frozen fruits or even steel cut oats. No one wants to chew their smoothie!

This blender from Vitamix is an excellent option for smoothies, soups or sauces. Get one for yourself or for a loved one this holiday season.

Responsibility

Sometimes we can get overwhelmed with the amount of content available to us on just about every topic. Social media, websites, email newsletters, video feeds, etc.

Determining how to filter through the noise and find something of value is more than half the battle.

Our recent article on food responsibility focuses on six e-books you can read to help transition to plant-based eating.

Check these out as you start to set a strategy for 2025!
