You might think that you don't *need* a custom meal plan, but based on feedback from my clients they love having a custom meal plan because it means that every single recipe is meant for their tastes, likes, and dislikes. Having a custom plan is a win-win.

Saw this today and wanted to share. 💕

This is ultimate slow food prep and eating. Right from the garden to the table.

I'm planning on doing more of this in 2023 and beyond. Also if you've never tried celeriac you must give it a try! It tastes a bit like celery but has the consistency of a turnip or squash.

The nutty flavour and aroma of celeriac are something else: if you don't have it this year, grow some next year! Sow in trays March with seed on the surface,...

I decided that ‘Move with Love’ is going to be my phrase for 2023.

Yes, I decided it today, on Feb 1.

I’m committing to treating myself and those around me with more love when I can.

Many around me and those I see online are hurting. I’ve had my own internal challenges too and the only thing I can think of that has helped is to give myself grace for being human.

It’s not always easy, but it’s a necessary step toward healing the mind and body.

How can we move more with love?

🪄Go to bed earlier
🪄Wake up earlier
🪄Drink water with lemon and a bit of salt.
🪄Look at the sky even when it feels gloomy.
🪄Hug someone
🪄Smile at someone
🪄Go for a walk, even if it’s around the block.
🪄Eat breakfast (before coffee).

Just pick one and try it. Doing one little thing can feel hard but it will help us get through the sticky mud immensely.

Happy February Friends.

(P.S. I got this tank from . ❤️).

I've got a sick little monkey in the house today (who doesn't??) and I'm making chicken soup for dinner. I like to boost soups with culinary herbs that are helpful for colds and flu and found this post helpful. I used bay leaf, rosemary, basil garlic, and ginger in my soup! Mmm.

ANYTIME is a great time to add healing herbs to your meals. Do you know that culinary herbs can combat colds and flu? It's true! Learn which herbs can help!

I made granola today!

I actually don’t make it that much if at all. I never buy it. I got tired of going to the store, looking at ingredients and not buying anything.

Granola is sooooo easy to make and you can control all of the ingredients!

I adapted this recipe from .

Easy peasy.

😍

You can start by substituting sugar-laden treats with fruit. Try adding more veggies to every meal. Try a smoothie for breakfast. Take a 10-minute walk. Do one push-up. ⁣
Honestly, I hated weight training. It hurt. It wasn’t fun. The gym smelled. I started slowly and now I love it, and the payoff in terms of my strength and well-being makes it fun and easy! ⁣

I’m roasting a delicata squash for lunch and it’s just so darn pretty I wanted to share. 😃

These will crisp up like french fries (ok they’re not a replacement but still yummy!). Eat on their own or with sausage, salad, or anything really.

Mmm. Happy Friday! ❤️

Yes! Ditch the PSL from you know where. It's full of ingredients that aren't serving you. You can make a delicious version at home!

Pumpkin recipes abound this time of year. I’ve put up a few myself. So many of them call for pumpkin puree and most of us then hop over to the store and buy a can of pumpkin. But see, pumpkin doesn’t grow in cans. It grows from the ground and grows a-plenty locally and it really isn’t that muc...

OH! I have the book How to Cook Everything Vegetarian and it's excellent - I might have to add this one to the cookbook shelf!

Some news: the completely revised and updated edition of How to Cook Everything Fast (some people credit this one as their favorite in the series) is coming out on SEPTEMBER 20TH! Hundreds of new recipes and variations (all 30 mins or less), PHOTOS, and savvy hacks. (And I'm sure I don't need to mention this, but FAST doesn't mean compromising on quality or resorting to unappealing shortcuts.) You'll find recipes like Reverse Risotto, Loaded Muesli, Spiced Cashews with Bacon, Cabbage Slaw with Crisp Tofu and Peanut-Lime Dressing, Egg Salad Bruschetta, and BBQ Lima Beans with Collards. I promise that everyone will find something to enjoy here. You can pre-order here, if you'd like: https://tinyurl.com/3fhy9p62
