The key to cooking healthy on a consistent basis, day in and day out – is SIMPLICITY and SPEED…
When a task is simplified and easily repeatable, it is far more likely we will continue that task, especially when there are benefits tied to the effort
I’ll re-emphasize – when things are quick and easy – they are MUCH easier to make a habit. And when something becomes a habit, there is far less internal effort required to take that specific action on a daily basis…
This is an example of one of my “Quickie Chef Cooking Tactics”… (there are new ones added into the “Atlas Ultimate Access On-Demand Private Client Membership” Area every month)
Here are the key take-aways (these are universal and can be applied to MANY recipes, regardless of what is in the pan, in the pot or in the oven…)
1 – Focus on one food/veggie going into the pan
2 – Start with a healthy cooking oil (just enough to coat the pan)
3 – Use a cover to keep in moisture which helps cook the food/veggie faster
4 – Add your herbs and spices of choice toward the end of the session (Colima Sea Salt, crushed Black Pepper, Turmeric, etc..)
5 – Add 1/4 to 1/2 low-sodium broth if you want to get more cook time (softer veggies) without having to add more oil (I’ll show specific examples of this in future videos)
6 – Once done, slide over to a cool section of the stove-top, let sit for a bit to cool and to let the herbs/spices release their magic.
7 – Combine with a protein and salad, and ENJOY!!

Now that’s possibly one way I can eat beets Joey! do they taste like beets? They are one of the very few veggies I don’t like & im trying to find a way that I can eat them, thank you for sharing?

Hi Connie! They do ‘taste’ like beets – but not in the plain way you might be thinking (I LOVE the ways beets taste btw…) When you cook them like this and then add the herbs and spices – it brings them to life… And the nutritional value is sky high. I have another serving last night with the rest of my dinner and enjoyed every bite 🙂
Let me know how you like them when you give them a try!
Connie M. says
Will do! Cause I know they have a lot of nutrition & are very good for you??
