The weather in TX is starting to cool down in the mornings and it's getting darker sooner . Autumn is here!! And with it, a bounty of good foods. A good workout deserve great nutrition!
Take advantage of the apple harvest. Fuji are at their peak in flavor. Peal, core and cut up about 10-12 apples to 1/2 C water or no sugar added apple juice, stir in tsp. of cinnamon and cook on high about 3-4 hours in the slow cooker. No sweetener needed as the season has brought forth their best flavor. Puree it or chunk it and add it to your cottage cheese, yogurt or oatmeal.
Also take advantage of other flavors of the season, cardamon, sage, allspice, nutmeg. Stuff your pork loins with oats, dried cranberry or apricots and your favorite spices. Cook and freeze single portions. Roast beets and sweet potatoes.
If this hasn't been mentioned before, buy your spice in bulk at a natural food store. They are literally pennies and so fresh! There are a lot of great spices out there, wood smoked salts, roasted garlics...endless. And another great way to spruce up leaner meats.
Enjoy the flavors of he season!!
