Leanne Travassos - Small Steps to Healthy Living

I haven't posted here in a long time, so thought I would share a favourite family meal! Love our cast iron pans for chicken and potatoes.
4 chicken breasts slices in half, with brown sugar, paprika, oregano, salt,onion and garlic powder, drizzled with olive oil. Bake 8-10 minutes @425 , flip for about another 5. Use your meat thermometer! (Bake longer if keeping breasts whole )
Yellow potatoes cut and boiled just until starting too soften. Drain and generously add olive oil-potatoes soak it up alot- add lots of your favourite veggie spice mix and throw into hot from oven cast iron skillet. Stir potatoes 3-4 times every 10 minutes to evenly roast. Last 5-10 minutes add diced onion and fresh crushed garlic - I simply throw a small onion and two garlic cloves into a mini chopper. (I put the chicken in the oven when potatoes near being done so they finish about the same time)
Sides of steamed green beans tossed with toasted almonds in garlic butter, corn and garlic bread! Delish! What's your favourite family dinner?

Sometimes the best thing for your mental health is just getting outside. No headphones, no distractions, just breathe and listen and appreciate the nature all around you. I walk every morning, no matter the weather ❤️

Slowly, our arsenal of home workout equipment has been building! Posters from Amazon just arrived and I'm even more excited for our workouts! Its hard getting motivated, especially as I'm working from home, and used to be training in the evenings at our local Muay Thai gym, but with the pandemic and lockdowns it's difficult. But I have been adapting to morning workouts the last several weeks. Warm up and fresh air first thing by walking the dog and then straight to a workout. These posters are a great addition for quick reference and ideas to change things up!
I'm more focused on my work during the day, have more energy and just a good feeling overall!!

Here's to 2021! Bring it on, we are ready for you!!

Our family has had a vegetable garden for about 15 years. I absolutely love it!! This weekend we finally got a new trellis built and put up for the cucumbers! They will be climbing fast after all this rain! Tomatoes got a good trim too. Some tips for your tomatoes:
- snap off excess leafy branches starting at the bottom to allow more growth, and nutrients to get to tomatoes
- if you have clusters of tomatoes on one stem, remove the smallest to leave only two or three this way you will get bigger tomatoes
- remove "suckers" these grow in between two stems and should be removed promote a healthy plant
- regularly turn your soil to loosen it up.
- lastly, make sure to share with your neighbours when it is harvest time!
I leave lots of space between my plants to make it easy to move around them to trim and pick! Also allows the sun to get to them and space to grow big!

A fun idea with your kids! Together think of fun rewards for the winner!

Who's ready for making changes in the new year?🙋 Small changes now, big results later!! Don't diet, but commit to making healthier choices for you and the family. Park farther away, take the stairs, wake a few minutes early to breath deeply and be thankful for waking one more day.
Happy new year, and may your 2020 be a good one❤️
