I know it is the beginning of the year and everyone is on the weight-loss train, me included! That said, I had to remind myself that while it is ok to indulge a little for the holidays, it is time to return to a healthy lifestyle. Here is something I made to stay focused on my goals, I hope this will be helpful to you as well!

Education is always a great gift! This one is even more for a wine novice or lover! I will be giving away 10% of the sales to The Elles Collective! https://www.amazon.com/Food.../dp/B084DGPWFM/ref=sr_1_1...

Enjoy my latest blog post about visiting France in a very unique way!

Many of you are aware that I thoroughly research before endorsing any persons, products, or services. Today, I’d like to introduce you to an incredibly talented woman.

Building a fruit platter is an art in itself. It is like creating a painting: it involves color, balance, and where you want the eye to go. I love creating with food...

With no chemical stabilizers, no artificial coloring or flavors, no high-fructose corn syrup, no gelatin, no preservatives, and even gluten-free; La Fermiere is my favorite yogurt to go to. Established in 1952, this Provence company has fed many French kids for generations, me included, and continues to do so worldwide. That said, I mostly buy their plain yogurt because of the sugar content in most flavored ones. I reserve those for a special treat. I generally eat half of my plain yogurt per day to stay within 100 calories for me and benefit from important health benefits such as the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that helps the body shed fat. By the way, children's balanced diet needs milk fat for proper brain and body development. Check them out and buy them at your local stores: Gelson, Sprout, Whole Food, Costco, or online

Did I say how much I enjoy this group of women! OC Elles Collective Meeting was wonderful, energetic, and unifying. A few were missed and I hope to see all of you soon. This new year has started on very positive compassionate notes. Thank you all for that pleasant morning by the pool. We just left before it got too hot!

When I want to celebrate something special while traveling in France, I often check out the Relais et Chateaux. Never disappointed me all these years. Check out this one "Les Pres d'Eugenie" in the Gascogne region. Its numerous restaurants speak to me, particularly "La Ferme aux Grives" (photo above) and their healthy/slimming cuisine. On the list for my next triphttps://lespresdeugenie.com/en

Having homemade foods allow you to control the amount of nutrients, protein, fat, sugar, carb, fibers, salt, not to forget your health. Mel learned today how to prepare his flavorful lunch with Chef Marie-Annick' healthy cooking techniques...

Enjoy teaching Mel, a teenager, how to prepare healthy meals. First, we started with breakfast. We made oatmeal with cinnamon, nuts, and dried fruits. He had never eaten oatmeal before and was happy to see him and his mother liking it!

We have lost one of the most amazing French Chefs I ever met. Michel Guerard inspired my healthy cuisine and I will never forget his encouragement in pursuing my chef dream. Thank you and rest in peace, Chef!

Conducting research: If you could only eat 1 protein portion per day for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
