Add coconut flakes on top for an extra special crunch! Tropical Bean Salad 2.0 Want a throwback in time? Click through to this post from 2008 to see version 1.0 of this recipe. I was brainstorming some prep-day salads to make for our family this month and this salad came to mind. It’s funny I can barely remember what I did last month, but I have so many good food memories! This salad embodies the early days of KERF when I was throwing together unique flavor combinations in a quest for real food made fun. How to assemble There is minimal chopping – green pepper, kiwi, and pineapple. You can use fresh or canned pineapple, and tidbits would make this even easier. I do eat the fur of kiwi, but I peeled it for this salad : ) Drain black beans. And using pre-bagged broccoli slaw makes this salad c...

4 Scenarios When Detailed Testing Makes Sense

Image
We have unparalleled abilities to peer inside our bodies and take detailed snapshots of physiological processes and the state of our health. We can measure the hormones in our blood, the cholesterol in our veins, the nutrient deficiencies we may have. We can go deep. But it doesn’t always make sense to take that deeper, more detailed look at the numbers. It gets expensive, for one. It gets intrusive. Our doctors may be resistant. And it can provide a bit too much  of a close look when a broader view might suffice. When do more detailed tests make sense, though? What kind of scenarios call for a second, deeper look at our numbers? “You’re fit as a fiddle, you’ve clearly lost a ton of weight, but your cholesterol’s a little high.

Especially when you are trying to make them each and every day. I will say up front, that I’m a huge believer in taking dinner leftovers for lunch the next day. In fact, it’s pretty rare that I will take a few hours out of my weekend to specifically prep lunches. But it does  happen on occasion, and it doesn’t have to be hugely complicate. The time allotment for this meal prep plan calls for 2 1/2 hours of prep and cooking time combined. But there is a very good chance that you can get this done in less time than that. The important part is to prep all the veggies ahead of time. You can save even more time by preparing them ahead of time, or even by purchasing already chopped veggies (for some of them. Not a...
