I’ve learned a lot about eating healthy and how to actually execute it. Eating healthy does take some work, there is no way to get around that! There is the planning, the shopping, the chopping, the cooking and the cleaning. But is there anything more important than putting pure, immune boosting, anti-inflammatory foods into yourself and the ones you love? What you put into your body will affect every aspect of your life….mentally and physically! So join me in some fun food prep!
Today, I am going to share with you a soup that is beneficial and nourishing! The best part about it is that it can be made ahead for the entire week!! This soup recipe makes about 6-8 bowls of soup, depending on your portion size. Having lunch/dinner prepared ahead for the week makes it easier to not be ‘stuck’ and end up eating something that isn’t good for you! Meal-prepping is the key to success! This wholesome, organic, delicious vegetable soup will warm your belly while allowing you to consume over a dozen healthy, good-for-your immune system, nutritious veggies!

Joesph Joesph Cut and Carve Cutting Board
This cutting board is amazing for cutting vegetables!!! Especially tomatoes. It is slanted, and has a lip on the edge. The juices from fruits and veggies go to the bottom of the cutting board, but the lip catches them. This board can be thrown right in the dishwasher. This makes me feel very safe after cutting lots of fruits and veggies on it. I throw it in the dishwasher, and I know it will come out 100% clean. I am on my 2nd cutting board, I love this one so much. Great gift!!! I could not do all my chopping without this board!
I use the splatter guard almost every single day!! A white kitchen is awesome, but can require lots of clean up. This shield is awesome, and can be put in the dishwasher!
