Creating fast, fresh, fit and filling meals for my family, which includes my hubby along with two growing teenage boys and one hungry young adult man, is my daily goal. And, one of my huge take-aways from years of being a competitive athlete is that you need a realistic, actionable plan and the right tools and gear to achieve any goal – because there will be a lot of obstacles trying to keep you from the finish line (or in this case, dinner table).
That’s where my Vacuvita® comes in. It’s an amazing, multi-function countertop kitchen appliance that makes being the house “kitchen manager” of my so much easier. Vacuvita works on the simple fact that when oxygen is removed from food, it can stay fresh up to five times longer!

I can’t even count how many watermelons have met their final fate at my house, at least dozens of dozens (meaning hundreds) if not more! Watermelon, after all, is my favorite fruit and I eat it every which way including whacked into a wedge and as a featured ingredient in smoothies and on salads, skewers, sandwiches and such.
I’ve used the typically discarded watermelon rind in recipes too – my latest creation is Thai-style Watermelon Rind Shrimp Ceviche! Check out this creative watermelon rind recipe (that is suitable for Paleo and Gluten-free diets) and join me to #LeaveNoRindBehind ! Continue reading
