Supportive in all the right ways to stand tall

Knows you better than anyone

Picks you up when you fall

Always up for a little fun

Tastebuds delight when we answer their call

Skin signals red to get out of the sun

Brain keeps up with all

Healthy is the measure of one

Celebrate that body, y’all

Dedicated to everyone who pays attention to their body care.

Easy Lunch, Dinner, or Snack – Food As Ally Meal Idea

You’ve been asking for easy meal ideas that will keep you out of a hot summer kitchen. This is one of my favorites.

Nachos are endlessly versatile and a great way to eat cool sour cream, fresh diced tomatoes, zesty green onions, smooth velvety guacamole, ready-made cheeze (non-dary or dairy) sauce, your choice of tortilla chips, and protein.

Added bonus, it travels well.

Bring these to work or a picnic by separating ingredients in containers. Purchased guacamole singles (pictured – Trader Joe’s Avocado’s Numbers Guacamole to Go) are perfect for one meal and will stay green. The protein of choice, next to the plant-based cheeze sauce, is grilled turkey cutlets. Coconut water is a favorite hydrating drink for hot days. Salsa Verde Corn Tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s give salsa flavor.

For a snack, make a smaller nacho plate. At lunch, add more food to fill you until snack or dinner. If it’s dinner time, load up the table so everyone can add what they for Nacho Bar.

What do you think? Is this easy, fast, and customizable for your life?
