Pineapple Wedges- sweet fuel for your body

Pineapple wedges! 

So good. 

When you have sugar cravings from being addicted to processed sugars, you have to break the addiction like any other drug. 

Once you no longer crave processed sugars, then natural sugars become more than sufficient for your new healthy sweet tooth. 

Keeping in mind that carbs are carbs and sugar is sugar, they have to be managed properly. 

One of my favorite sweet treats are pineapple wedges. 

Full of healthy micronutrients, pineapple has a great flavor that makes it hard to put down. 

I could literally eat a whole pineapple in one sitting, but that would not be good. 

Fructose is what it is. People argue over it and say it does or doesn't make you fat. 

It gets processed differently than other sugars and hits the liver straight on to be used as fuel. 

But the extra fuel left over still gets stored as fat like all the rest soo...

Eat too much, at the wrong time and it may have a negative result. 

On the other hand, manage it wisely and use it as fuel and you will have great benefits to cheer about. 

And when used properly, your sweet tooth will be satisfied as you take in a delicious fuel source.

Spaghetti: Skip the noodles, eat the squash!

Hey,

I hope you are doing great!

Tonight, I made spaghetti squash again and it came out awesome so I thought you would want to hear about this.

This time I didn't cut the squash in half like many cooking methods call for.

I just stabbed it a hundred times with a knife all over and then baked it at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Pulled it out and split it down the middle and it literally just fell apart.

I scraped the seeds to the side and then used a fork to pull out the "spaghetti noodles".

Put the squash noodles in a bowl and added tomato paste, garlic, sea salt and baked chicken.

Stirred it all up and it was great.

The seeds will be dried out overnight and lightly salted to eat tomorrow.

They are super good for you too.

That is a simple and super easy way to cook spaghetti squash.

Forget the spaghetti noodles and try the spaghetti squash.

Tastes almost identical and it is so much healthier.

You can use your favorite spaghetti recipes and you will be surprised at how close it comes to the real unhealthy thing.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
