Buy a steamer instead of boiling
I bought this steamer on Amazon.com for about $22.00 and I am obsessed with it! It has a section to put your vegetables in and another section to cook rice in. The steamer keeps all the vitamins & nutrients of the vegetables. (This is super important!)
For all mom's out there...your kids will love how tasty the veggies come out! I mash the vegetables with sweet potatoes (looks like mashed potatoes) and add some salt, butter and a tiny bit of olive oil. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

Artichokes for your liver
Eat your artichokes to help support your liver! The next time it's at the grocery store, pick it up and add it to your dinner! The benefits are well worth it! :-)

GET YOUR SLEEP IN
Get your sleep in! Getting a good night sleep is very important for your health! It's recommended to have a night-time routine that will help calm your mind and get you ready to get your zzzz's in. Some rituals to do before bed are... taking a hot bubble bath with calming salts, reading, listening to music, praying, etc. Anything that works for you!
