Cumin seed, the essential Indian spice that is an exotic addition to several dishes. I add this spice to my dish not only for an amazing flavor, but also for one of the many health benefits; cumin seed can assist you in weight loss.
Add a teaspoon of cumin seed to a glass of water and bring it to boil. Once the water changes color to brown, turn the stove off. Let it cool and pour yourself a glass of this delicious water. If your goal is to lose weight have an 8 ounce glass of this in the morning and again before dinner.

Around this time of year, I feel that happens more often, so during the beginning of the week I make sure to make up a batch of my spicy veggie blender gazpacho. I tried calling it a smoothie, but that brings to mind a sweet and fruity drink, which this blender juice decidedly is not. A cross between a drinkable gazpacho and a fresh V8, this vegetable juice packs a punch. Canned organic tomatoes contain lycopene and give the juice a rich, tomato base. Cucumber, celery, and herbs add freshness, while hot sauce and apple cider vinegar add zip. Blending the vegetable instead of juicing leaves all the beneficial fiber intact.

The daily hustle and bustle of chef life can be very rewarding, yet very challenging at times. Food anatomy is everchanging and so many new trends and fad diets follow.

Then, for dinner I have either fish or a lean protein like chicken or beef with green vegetables like kale, spinach, or broccoli. Then off to a restful sleep. The next morning I’m up at it again checking emails and starting my day. Optimize and Monetize! Chef Life!
Today I want to talk about collagen. Unfortunately, as we age our bodies get depleted of so many nutrients and other vitally important things that keep us moving and happy with ourselves. Lacking in collagen hits home in a big way for me because I’ve always had beautiful skin, people have always commented on my skin, and now it’s what I dislike most about myself when I look in the mirror. I’ve been looking closely for a supplement to help me restore the collagen levels I need to improve elasticity, vibrancy, and hydration. I came across the top 10 collagen killers, which I will talk about, but first, here are some facts about collagen from Dr. Axe:
This winter salad is very versatile and can be used as an entrée, side salad, easy week night meal, or used at Christmas dinner. The dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, which really brings the salad together.
