Recipe of the Week: Family Night Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Recipes

Marinate 4 chicken breasts in 2 Tbsp. olive oil and Mexican Seasoning blend and cover in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Place chicken in a crockpot and cover with sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onion and chicken broth. Cook on High for 3 1/2 hours (can also make on low for 7 hours).

Principle Four: Incorporate Healthy Fats

Health Tips

Healthy fats are pivotal to achieving optimal wellness. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados, nuts) and polyunsaturated fats (Omega-6 and Omega-3) have a tremendously positive effect on your health, when eaten in moderation. Omega-6 (sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil) and Omega-3 (salmon, flax seeds, walnuts) fats are called “essential” fatty acids (EFAs) because our bodies need them, but cannot manufacture them.

Principle Three: Kick the Sugar Habit

Nutrition

Did you know that sugar has the same addictive properties as tobacco and alcohol? The more sugar you eat, the more you need to satisfy your cravings. Sugar is one of the leading culprits behind the childhood obesity epidemic and can be found in an alarming number of our favorite foods.
