Here are today's Super Foods...

Salmon - Just cook it in some on the stovetop in some olive oil seasoned with garlic salt and dill. You will have a delicious Omega 3 masterpiece! In my family we like it crispy on both sides. Yum!

We ate our salmon last night with brown rice. All white foods are evil and turn into sugar as soon as they enter your body. You might as well be eating brownies. Bread, pasta, and rice should all be whole grain with no saturated fat and if possible, no sugar. It may take some getting used to, but by the time you are used to it, you will have dropped a ton of weight and have a huge Aaaah Haa moment. Oh, I get it! Brown is good and white is evil!

We also had steamed kale with apples on top of our rice. I love deep greens!!! No my wonderful, sweet southern friends... not with bacon! Just with nice tastes steamed. I usually go for the hot sauce when it comes to my greens, but it was completely delightful to enjoy apples with them!!! Kale.

Kale packs beta carotene, calcium, potassium, and Vitamin K into a powerful Super Food Punch!!! It is full of fiber and antioxidants! Try sauteing it with garlic ginger, and sweet vinegar/olive oil. Make chips out of it by rubbing with olive oil, sprinkling with salt and baking it in a single layer on a baking sheet. 300 degrees for about 30 minutes - watch it until the leaves are nice and crisp. You can also make a very healthy cole slaw out of it! Let your creativity and imagination flow!

ZLife magazine - from ZUMBA features Super Foods this month!!! It has been a huge influence in my Super Food Week! But I have to say... I really do eat these foods regularly.... weekly. I hope you will give them all a try in your food plan/lifestyle!!!
