Eat your Sunscreen

October 8, 2017 By Brooke Leave a Comment

You never know where your purpose is going to take you. That is the beauty of faith. You trust and follow, often with more amazing results than you could have imagined. This year, my purpose has taken me all over the world. I love it when I have the opportunity to turn a work trip into a work-play trip. This summer I spent time in my hometown in South Florida. I find the sound of the ocean the most

relaxing sound on the planet. It supercharges my creativity. I’d work on my laptop in the morning by the pool then in the afternoon, I’d join my daughter and friends for a boat ride. For a cancer survivor like me, I take protecting yourself from the sun very seriously. I always use sunscreen and wear a hat and a rash guard. I also rely on food to protect me naturally. Salmon, Watermelon and a Tomato Basil Salad are three of my favorite ways to eat my sunscreen. I recently shared the recipes on IvankaTrump.com .

This takes just 10 minutes to throw together! For an added flavor boost, cook the quinoa in vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.

Why your Kids will THANK YOU for Family Dinner Night

March 14, 2017 By Brooke Leave a Comment

We all live busy lives! My daughters’ soccer practice takes up 4 nights a week.

Sometimes it doesn’t seem like there is any choice but to rush through dinner.

Then, I hear the singing and the giggles that often come with dinner time in our house and I am reminded how important family dinner time is.

You’ll have happier kids

Studies have shown that kids who eat with their families frequently are less likely to get depressed, develop an eating disorder, or engage in premature sex. Dinner time is the perfect time to talk to your kids about what is happening in their lives and connect in a way you can’t when you are on the run.

It’s better for your waistline

Portion sizes in restaurants are larger than what you need to be full. In fact, The average restaurant meal has as much as 60% more calories than a homemade meal.

You’ll build healthy habits

A 2000 survey found that the 9- to 14-year-olds who ate dinner with their families most frequently ate more fruits and vegetables and less soda and fried foods.

I’m a big believer in meal planning to help make it easier during the week. I’ve even convinced my hubby to help!

I recently shared a few Fast Food Dinners that you can make during the weeks you feel like you have no time!

Let them eat soup!

January 17, 2017 By Brooke Leave a Comment

The other day I was at home working so I thought I would throw a pot of soup on the stove. It smelled so good in the house! An hour later I was ready for it to be dinner time.

Soup is one of the easiest ways to add veggies to your diet. It’s also a great way to use up ingredients in your pantry. A can of beans, a little broth, some frozen veggies is all you need to get started. Even better, it’s affordable.

The best soups for your waistline are broth based not cream based. It’s also a good idea to limit the salt.

Because soup usually makes a lot, it’s actually a great meal for sharing with friends. Tasty Tomato Soup, Coconut Cream of Broccoli, Classic 3-Bean Chili and Butternut Squash soup, here are four great soup recipes and a few ways to turn a cozy night at home into a party with friends.

Soups on!
