improve your nutrition without cutting calories

Seriously, it can be done!  Eating healthy is NOT just about calories and you CAN overhaul your nutrition without starving.  What you are going to learn today is the easiest way easiest way to improve your nutrition.

First of all, if you are new to the realm of cooking, and you're thinking, "I only have like two recipes that I know how to make", I promise you that skill of being able to cook and not need a recipe, it will come with time. But in the meantime, I want you to rely on recipes.  There is no shame in that.  Because really, they're just serving as inspiration for you. They're teaching you about new food pairings about new spice blends. They're teaching you all of those basic skills. And then over time, once you get better at making those tried and true recipes, you will finally start to feel like a home chef or a foodie.

Now on to my actual tip that I have for you.  You need to eat seasonally.  Think back to summertime, I'm assuming that every single one of you has probably had a homegrown tomato, and you know how much better that tastes, then which then the tomatoes that you buy at the grocery store. I think we all know that right? Now part of that does have to do with like the dirt that the tomato was grown in. It does have to do with that. But the biggest part is that that tomato was picked off the plant at its peak of freshness. What does that mean? Well, it means that that tomato had as much time as it needed to gain all of the nutrients and vitamins and minerals from the dirt from the sun from everything from the water. It had all of that time to get as nutritious as it can.

So obviously, you don't have to make your entire diet out of seasonal produce, but if you include at least some of the things that are seasonal, you can totally increase the nutritional value in your diet WITHOUT without having to take any extra time, or really take away any calories because who wants to be on a diet? No one.

The other reason that it is so great to eat seasonally is because it saves you money.  Why?  Because it is so much harder to grow things when they are not in season when they are just not naturally growing.

So I know I threw a lot at you. And especially if you are one of those people who is new to cooking, you're probably thinking, "Oh my gosh, this is a lot".  This website (US only) allows you to search by your specific area and by the month to see what's in season:

www.seasonalfoodguide.org

You can search on Pinterest or Instagram for recipes that include seasonal ingredients, but in my opinion, I think that ends up becoming a major time suck, because I don't know about you, but when I go on Pinterest, I don't end up doing what I went on there for... I end up like designing my dream house or renovating my laundry room... Or if I'm on Instagram, I get sucked into videos of chickens.

So instead of wasting your time researching seasonal recipes, I recommend having a trusted source on hand.  I've created this exact thing actually, a seasonal recipe membership where every single month you get 15 new recipes that are completely seasonal.
