New Years Food Revelations

SHEFFIELD, Ill. (KWQC) - Chef Monika Sudakov demonstrates changes you can make this new year that will result in creating positive lifestyle shifts, while honoring how amazing food can be!

1. Instead of exercising as punishment for what you ate, incorporate movement you enjoy because it’s fun and feels good
2. More veggies, less meat, but with all the flavor and then show them how to roast veggies for maximum flavor
3. There are no “good foods” or “bad foods” unless you have an allergy or medical condition that a doctor has diagnosed you with
4. Calories in, calories out
5. Eat with your senses to feel more satiated
6. Toss the scale. Weight isn’t the best indicator of health and can in fact be misleading depending on your bone structure and muscle mass

Roasted Veggie and Shrimp Bowl

1. Place veggies on baking sheet. Drizzle liberally with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and Herbes de Provence. Toss well and spread out in a single layer. Roast in a 425 degree oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, tossing occasionally until veggies are just tender but still have a bite.
2. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, sumac and ras el hanout or Chili powder. Sear in butter approximately 2-3 minutes per side, deglaze with white whine.
3. To serve, place roasted veggies in a bowl, top with 5-6 shrimp and garnish with fresh goat cheese or feta.
