  Maple Drizzled Sweet Potatoes, Oregano Roasted Potatoes with Lemon and Garlicky Button Mushrooms. Need I say more?
  
  I would like to share a few of my go-to and favourite side dishes, which I call, Simply Sides. I love them because they all have few ingredients, take only a minute to prep and go with almost everything. The real bonus is the oven temp and time is the same for all three dishes. Three simple sides that pair well together for taste as well as cooking convenience. Love it!
  
  Sweet potatoes are little nutrition powerhouses packed with the good stuff…they even say sweet potatoes can help stabilize blood sugar levels! I find that potatoes and mushrooms are great company pleasers. What’s better on a busy night than a simple side? 3 simply sides! Continue reading →

- Is Healthy Eating Too Hard?
  
  Posted at 2:19 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on June 1, 2013
  There seems to be a large misconception about healthy eating.
  
  I hosted a party last night for my sister’s birthday. My whole family came over for dinner followed by cake and coffee. We ended up sitting around chatting for hours into the night. Toward the end of the night, the conversation turned to “healthy eating” and the consensus seemed to be:
  1. Too hard
  2. Too expensive
  3. Too time-consuming
  I sat back and took it all in. I chose not to say anything, at that point, as I wanted to really think about what everyone had to say and defend “healthy eating” with a thought out response.
  
  I know from experience, convincing people, healthy eating is not only achievable but can be cost efficient and straightforward (once you figure out the basics!) is not an easy task.
  
  I love healthy eating and find that I’m very passionate about food, natural living and attaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I would love to help everyone struggling with achieving their personal healthy living goals. The one thing….super important…if not the most important factor….you truly and deeply have to want to change and be willing to push yourself beyond your comfort boundaries.
  
  Once committed to a new way of thinking and a new life style of healthy eating, there are a few basic steps that can go along way in achieving a new lease of life! Continue reading →

- Green Smoothies-Two Amazing Recipes!
  
  Posted at 4:53 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on May 27, 2013
  For the longest time I was intimidated by green smoothies. I’m not sure why, but the process just seemed overwhelming.
  
  I was motivated, recently, by my father-in-law’s new-found love of green smoothies…and so, I found myself also creating, green, clean & simply fresh smoothies!
  
  It feels great to take fresh whole veggies or fruit and turn them into a smooth, creamy cup of nutrition! I actually forget I’m eating raw veggies! The best part about my Gorgeous Creamy Green Smoothie & Carrot, Cucumber, Zucchini Veggie Smoothie is that my whole family loves them. My 16 month year old eats the smoothies with a baby spoon right out of the cup and doesn’t leave a drop behind.
  
  Both smoothies are loaded with veggies and happen to be dairy free, gluten-free and soy free.

  Hi All,
  
  I think everyone, would like a healthier, simpler and yummier lifestyle. I know I would!
  
  As a wife and mother of two precious but on-the-go toddlers, my life can be quite hectic! I don’t get much sleep, I am constantly on the move, and normally running around from here to there trying to keep everything together. Sometimes, that can be easier said than done 🙂
  
  No matter how busy my life gets, I keep my goal close to heart, and focus on the food that I provide for my family.
  
  My desire to provide healthy, yummy food for my family along with some nagging digestive issues I have personally dealt with for many years has lead me to the rules I live by:
  1. Cook with fresh, natural whole foods
  2. Avoid items at the grocery store with ingredient lists over 5 items (give or take), or mystery ingredients (ie. items I have trouble pronouncing). Pretty much just avoid all processed foods which contain all the yuck!
  3. Avoid low fat or light items and go for the natural full fat version and consume in moderation
  4. Consume recommended amounts of healthy fat. I don’t believe in dieting as it is not sustainable
  5. Most, if not all of my meals are dairy, soy, corn and gluten free
  6. It’s okay to indulge a little. A square of dark chocolate and red wine…yum! and hello antioxidants 🙂
  Over the past 10 years, I have been collecting and tweaking recipes, creating my own recipes that are fast, simple and delicious as well as learning all that I can on natural, heathy and non allergenic whole foods. I have been working through my digestive issues and healing my body with whole foods and the elimination of allergens.
  
  I believe that a whole diet consisting of fresh ingredients and limiting “allergen” foods in general can greatly help anyone feel and live a happier lifestyle as well as maintain a healthy body weight (never dieting).
  
  I hope through my blog, that I can help people looking for a healthier whole food diet or provide assistance to those who are suffering from digestive issues (as I did for so many years) . I look forward to sharing my posts, advice (what works for me!), recipes, and my love of food and happy life moments.
  Sincerely,
  
  Hollie SimplyWholeFoods
