Eat Simply

My blog is a collection of recipes spanning years of a variety of diets from low carb to Mediterranean and everything in-between. The bottom line is we love food of all kinds so the best "diet" for us is moderation. Period.

You will find recipes using everything from the stovetop to an Instant Pot to a crockpot.

So, what's the big deal about eating anti-inflammatory foods? Well, apparently chronic inflammation has been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's. Yuk! 

But, I love hamburgers on a bun with a few potato chips? Am I doomed to never enjoy a burger again? I think not. However, I do believe moderation is key.

So, will a burger kill me? Maybe eventually, but I believe it you surround yourself with plenty of ANTI-inflammatory foods (see list below), a burger now and then won't hurt. What do you think?

Here's a list of anti-inflammatory foods to eat in abundance!
  • Leafy greens ... you know like arugula, spinach, kale
  • Berries - all kinds!
  • Cherries
  • Grapes
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Tomatoes (I pop a couple cherry tomatoes throughout the day)
  • Peppers
  • Zucchini
  • Beets
  • Onions
  • Shallots
  • Spring Onions
  • Beans - all kinds (if you buy dried and cook your own, even better)
  • Lentils
  • Chickpeas
  • Quinoa
  • Rice - experiment with wild rice, brown rice, etc.
  • Oats
  • Nuts and Seeds - all kinds!
  • Avocados
  • Coconut - no sugar, please)
  • Olives - woohoo ... black, green, Greek ... experiment!
  • Dark Chocolate - an acquired taste for some but I love 97% cacao
  • Fish - look for those high in Omega-3 like salmon, swordfish, mackeral, etc.
  • Seafood
  • Poultry
  • Pork
  • Herbs and spices - turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne
Sounds pretty easy, right? OK, so here is your no-no list ... if you must, seriously limit ...
  • Processed meat
  • Red meat
  • Sugar
  • Trans Fats
  • Bread
  • Pasta
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Processed Snacks and Desserts
  • Carbs
  • Alcohol

    Clean and simple eating is my goal. I love to cook and enjoy trying new recipes. All recipes included cover several diet types...raw vegan, vegan, vegetarian, low carb, and ketogenic. I have tried to remember to tag the recipes appropriately, but it is what it is.

    ​Happy 'simple' eating!
