Healthy Living

A few weeks ago I had the chance to rub shoulders with some great people who are truly committed to healthy living. These people seem to exercise with understanding and eat with wisdom, both done with determination which results in achieving the best health their choices can bring about.

I would love to have my natural life style be like that; however, I love my treats too much to give them too much of a healthy flair, i.e. no/low sugar, no/low fat, etc. I am trying to reduce my frequency of said treats though and I DO like to find healthy ways to prepare food, especially keeping food as close to it's original state as possible.

My rubbing shoulders happened at Red Mountain Spa in Ivins, Utah. I went with my good friend, Ann Marie. I loved the week participating in hikes, fitness classes, cooking demos, health education classes, indulging on delicious food, making new friends and spending time with old ones. Ann Marie and I had a great time.

I was so pleased to find that at redmountainspa.com they have a recipe of the month listed. I tasted some of this great food at the spa. The Diablo Shrimp and the Spicy Pork Medallions were favorites. The berry sorbet and peach cobbler were excellent, along with Lime Pot du Creme. I hope they post that recipe. The breads were delicious and moist. I'm excited to continue on my quest to eat more healthfully with the help of these recipes.
