 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. Ingredients needed: Water Cumin Seed

 Sometimes I need a little extra help getting the recommended number of veggies into my diet. 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.
 While meals cooked in the home are always the safest and healthiest ways to eat, sometimes we must eat out. Here are some tips to avoid picking up any illnesses when eating out for a business meeting, celebration, or a quick lunch.
 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. From meal planning to fine dining, the key is to keep your clients engaged. Creativity, texture, and taste are important elements when creating a dish for either my client and also myself. In order for me to stay focused, I take my vitamins every morning and add in nutrients by eating the right foods. I have a cup of coffee with a scoop of collagen. After my vitamins, I have a banana or cup of oatmeal or piece of cheese. I was never much of a breakfast person, but I do indulge in lunch or snacks on the go like cherry tomatoes or a light salad. 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.

I cooked Tacos using what is called beef boost instead of regular ground beef. What is beef boost, you ask? Beef boost is a blend of the ground beef everyone knows and loves with beef liver (The beef boost I bought is 90% ground beef to 10% liver).
If you are like me, the idea of eating liver is not very appetizing. Trust me, I was not expecting something to salivate over... I was pretty sure it would taste pretty gross actually. Then WHY was I so excited to start cooking with this boost? Because I know how great eating organ meat is for our bodies, and I was ready to bite the bullet and start benefiting from this powerful superfood…yes, I said superfood.  During this time of year I'm always looking to more earthy, heartier, rustic dishes to warm body and soul. Chestnuts similar mushrooms not only pair nicely with many wines but also contain great benefits. Including folate which you find in leafy greens as well as a good source of fats the body needs.
