The Time and Effort Myth
Rid your brain of the myth that healthy food takes long to prepare or that it is boring and tasteless. I’m quite certain that if I went into my kitchen to prepare a cheeseburger and fries, it would take me a long time to do so. In addition, I would feel like garbage for a couple days.

Let’s take a peek at our first super simple recipe in this series. Even though it may only take minutes to prepare, be mindful when handling your precious gifts from nature.
