Y/N...do you like tzatziki? since i can’t be in greece this year, i whipped some up poolside for a little snacky snack sitch. RECIPE BELOW!
i partnered with to create a recipe highlighting their new Organic Whole Milk Yogurts and obviously i *had* to make tzatziki! not only is this recipe delicious, but it is packed with probiotics and is so good for your gut health. Nancy’s has carefully selected a broad range of 11 strains that are clinically documented and may support your immune and digestive systems.
Natasha’s Tzatziki
16 oz Plain Organic Whole Milk Yogurt
1 cup shredded english or persian cucumbers, water squeezed out with paper towels
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
handful fresh dill, chopped
a few splashes of lemon juice and/or white wine vinegar
s+p, to taste
drizzle of high quality EVOO
mix all ingredients together in a bowl, taste and adjust if needed. garnish with more EVOO and fresh dill, and serve with your fav crackers, veggies, or a full blown greek meal!
(i prefer my tzatziki super thicc, so i strained the yogurt for a few hours ahead of time, but do what you want!)
how bout that view tho...🍑
lady of leisure mode activated... doing what i do best, sunday funday ☕️
to all those amazing, beautiful women in my life, keep being YOU. completely and unapologetically YOU. make some noise. break the rules. i see you all doing big things out there and making a difference in the world. you all inspire me to do better and be better ❤️
ahhh, yosemite... you were epic as per use this year!
i’m back and catching up on life today, but let me share a few thoughts for now and i’ll be sharing more of the trip over the next couple days.
1) it’s up to you to CREATE the best life you can for yourself, bc no one else is gonna do it for you. whatever you may need, you’ve got all the tools within yourself to create the life you want.
2) CONNECTing with amazing humans who just get you and you get them instantly is pretty rare for me as an adult, but it happened on this trip and my heart is so full and happy. it’s like the universe delivered two new amazing friends that were tailor made for me.
3) getting off the grid and being out in nature is the best food for my soul. you don’t have to go to an epic place like yosemite, just get outside and EXPLORE wherever you may be. go on a hike, lay under the stars at night, smell the fresh air, close your eyes and just BE.
CREATE. CONNECT. EXPLORE.
(my fav tattoos on my arm are symbols/glyphs of these three words that i try to live my life by) @ Yosemite National Park
almost ordered postmates for lunch but found a chicken cauli rice stir fry hidden away in the freezer. also had a few random things to use up from the fridge so i did a lil embellishing with some bacon, asparagus, mushrooms, coconut aminos, and OBVI, a fried egg on top🍳BOOM, so delish💥
umm hello, hi 👋🏼 is it fig szn yet? cuz i could really really use some of this juicy deliciousness in my life rn. preferably hand picked from fig trees in greece. kthxbai
enough is enough. black lives matter 🖤
💥quick dinner tonight = grilled salmon with a bit of a tropical salsa situation (mango + pineapple + tomatoes + red onion + cilantro) on a bed of mixed greens. simple and delicious, amiright?!
🍕+ 🍍... if loving this is wrong, i don’t wanna be right. idc how controversial pineapple on pizza is. i like it and i won’t apologize for it.
.
honestly, the triple S wins every time. the combo of sweet + salty + spicy is always a winner for my palate 👅💦
.
grain free pizza + pepp + bacon + pineapple + jalapeños + calabrian peppers + more cheese + red pepp flakes + greek oregano and a side of whiskey 🐶
.
throwback to a time when we could travel and explore the world. where we could roam wild and free. i’m looking forward to those days again.
here are some of the many kilos of grilled lamb chops we consumed daily in greece 🇬🇷 last summer
personal growth... it’s fu***ng hard sometimes isn’t it?! when a pattern or theme keeps coming up over and over, i realize that maybe, just maybe, it’s me. it’s my issue to work on.
.
idk if it’s what’s going on in the world or the cosmos, but i’ve been feeling super sensitive and emotional lately. i’ve found myself crying more in the past 2 weeks over random, minor things that wouldn’t normally upset me.
.
i’m self aware enough to realize that it’s not them, it’s me. i’ve had to work on managing my expectations of others for YEARS now in order to protect myself from let downs. like, being upset with something someone does/doesn’t do, but not telling them about it is only hurting/upsetting ME.
.
more and more, i’m acutely aware that i put a lot of value into my connections and relationships. i care a lot. like, sometimes maybe too much, and it can hurt when the effort i feel like i’m putting out isn’t being reciprocated how i want it to be.
.
i’m the one who needs to shift my thinking and manage my expectations better, because how i react to situations is up to me. i’m the only one who can control my own happiness and it’s not healthy or realistic to expect that from others.
.
sheesh. idk where all this came from but thanks for listening. xx, N 🖤
.
drop me a comment 👇🏼 and let me know if you can relate to any of this and how you manage your expectations of others. do you have high expectations of others or none at all?
another day, another big ass salad for lunch 💥
.
mixed greens + broccoli sprouts + cilantro + shredded carrots + cukes + cherry toms + leftover ribeye + avo + feta + sunflower seeds + evoo + + blk pepp
big ass salads are my fav when it’s hot af outside. this one is especially delish using leftovers from last nights cinco de mayo x taco tuesday feast...
.
- mixed greens + cilantro (tossed in the BEST evoo from + s&p, cuz nobody likes bland lettuce)
- grilled skirt steak (marinated for 24 hrs)
- my epic guacamole
- escabeche (pickled cauli, carrots, jalapeños and onions. recipe from cookbook)
- cukes and tomatoes
- drizzled w “legendary orange sauce” from (using dried árbol chiles, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cider vinegar)
.
needless to say, this was an explosion of flavors! no boring salads around here 🔥
.
thanks to the roomie, , who loves to throw down with me in the kitch!

bored in the house, and i’m in the house bored...
some days i feel really productive getting tons of s**t done. and some days i alternate between love island and turkish shows while sipping on white claw and eating boxed mac-n-cheese.
this is my current version of balance rn.
i did manage to wash my hair, put makeup on, and get dressed today, so i’m calling it a win!
whatever you’re doing, productive or not, you’re doing just fine.
xx, N

oh hey hey! it’s me and fav wfh co-worker, whiskey here back with another brekkie! today we’ve got a 2 egg scramble + leftover kielbasa + a wee bit of cheese ;) + toast + a handful of bloobs
okay, we’re fueled up for a day of shooting 📸, followed by some solo tennis against the wall, followed by a little tanning sesh by the pool (and possible quick dip), followed by some online training, followed by some more meals (+probably a white claw or two), and concluding the day with some netflix.
this is pretty much the standard schedule lately. how y’all doing staying at home?!
clean-out-the-fridge-use-what-i-have-brekkie:
💚bell pepps
🍳egg
♨️kielbasa
🧀feta
🍅toms
🌶hot ajvar (spicy roasted red pepp sauce)
drizzled w evoo and sprinkled w s&p, red pepp flakes, and oregano 🌿
low key drunk quarantined me decided i should video myself playing tennis in my bikini today. then i watched the video i thought, oh hell, is this what i really look like?! is this how other people see me?
right afterward that, i was texting my sissyface and i kinda jokingly (but also not really) made some jabs about my appearance.
here’s what her response was and it’s 100% money:
“You are BEAUTIFUL!!! Inside & out!! Don’t you dare body shame yourself. You look great, Sissy! You have a body that moves, functions, all of your limbs & a healthy heart!! Love your temple! 🙌🏼”
it’s so easy to compare yourself physically to what you see on social media, in movies, magazines, and reality tv shows with so many super attractive and “perfect” bodies.
i just finished watching Love Island UK (don’t judge 🤦🏻♀️) and maybe, in part, that’s kinda why i had such s**t things to say about myself! everyone of the entire cast are all objectively fu***ng gorgeous human beings running around in bikinis everyday for 2 months with beautifully golden tanned skin.
ANYWAY...
here’s the new self talk (repeat after me!)
MY BODY IS BEAUTIFUL.
MY BODY IS STRONG.
MY BODY CAN DO HARD THINGS.
AND IM SO PROUD OF THIS BODY.
❤️xx, N

low and slow cheesy foldy eggs to start this saturday 🍳 . my signature “wiggle” technique was hard to film one handed. normally, i tilt the pan to move the liquid eggs around too. . have you tried this method for scrambled eggs? it’s my fav!
☃️holiday szn: it’s that time of the year that can tend to be a bit stressful, so don’t forget to do things that bring you JOY! for me it looks like getting outside, breathing in the fresh air, taking a drive to the mountains, playing in the snow, drinking boozy coffee/hot cocoa, watching cheesy holiday rom-coms, listening to music, being around my people. tell me what brings you JOY this time of the year! 👇🏼
[AD] i’m so ready for some holiday vibes!! this new @chameleoncoldbrew organic cold-brew gingersnap oat milk latte is giving me all the feels! it’s super smooth and not-too-sweet and perfect with a bowl of spiced granola and bloobs for brekkie. grab yours now at @target! #sustainablybuzzed #raiseyourcoffeestandards
💥WHY I JOINED A NETWORK MARKETING COMPANY💥 okay okay okay. i’ve posted on stories but i’ve been super hesitant to post anything on my main feed cuz i know there might be some eye rolls. but f**k it, i’m at the point in my life where i don’t really care what anyone thinks. here’s the deal: i’ve decided to partner with the network marketing company, @monatofficial, which sells luxury, clean haircare and skincare. it’s anti-aging, plant based and cruelty free. and i’m OBSESSED with how great it’s working for my hair and skin. i’m all about transparency so here’s why i decided to promote these products in addition to the food blogging and collaborations i get paid for on my instagram... 1. obviously the products themselves. i love them and wanted to get them at wholesale prices, duhh!! 2. residual income. whenever i do a collab with a food brand it’s typically a one and done situation. and i’m constantly hustling to find more brands that i’d wanna work with which can be difficult at times because so many of them want everything done for basically free. and idk about you, but working for free doesn’t pay my bills. 3. the community. i’ve already met so many amazing babes working this biz who are so inspiring. it hasn’t been easy since getting divorced 2 years ago and leaving my friends and fam to start over in LA and now Vegas. 4. i have an opportunity to become a founder and earn 3 shares in this almost billion dollar company. which is freaking crazy to me. (psst, there’s still time for you to earn 1 share! ask me how!) i love that network marketing/ social selling has become more acceptable and gets less of a bad wrap than it used to. and that people are starting to see it’s a viable income opportunity. especially for myself who literally doesn’t EVER want to work a traditional 8-5 job again! anyway, if you’ve read this far, thank you! and if you’re at all curious/interested in the products or biz, i’m here for you! i posted some stuff on my stories today ab
take me back to italy, per favore 🇮🇹 #winewednesday #italy #bologna
[ad] it’s cold brew coffee szn! if you’re not adding fresh mint to your iced coffee, what are you even doing with your life? i partnered with @chameleoncoldbrew to show you how i coffee… 2 parts mocha chameleon cold brew + 1 part filtered water + handful muddled mint w/ 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener + splash o’ cream = HEAVEN. ya’ll know i’m a huge coffee fan and this cold brew has been my fav for like 5 years now. i love that the beans are certified organic and ethically sourced, and oh so smooth and delish! #SustainablyBuzzed #RaiseYourCoffeeStandards pro tip: make some large cold brew ice cubes and keep them in your freezer. nobody likes a watered down iced coffee am i right?! how do you coffee? iced? hot? cream? black? mochafrappaccinochocolatte? go grab some @chameleoncoldbrew and whip this up. you’ll thank me later xx, N
Sharing some background and updates about my IG content... where it’s been and where it’s going!
i looked in the mirror today and thought, f**k, i’m damn proud of this body. i’m not the fittest or skinniest i’ve ever been, but i’m feeling better in my own skin now than i have in the past 2 years. it’s not about a number on a scale, but i’d be lying if i said it didn’t feel f**king great to have lost 15lbs since moving to vegas. i feel like i’m finally finding the “old” me in terms of motivation to get fit and active. if you’ve followed me for awhile, you know that i moved to LA while going through a divorce almost two years ago. we all deal with stress differently and for me coping with the stress and grieving the loss of a long relationship involved lots of boozy sat/sun brunches, copious amounts of tacos and margaritas, and honestly, kind of losing sight of who i was as a person. i feel like i’ve had a fresh start these past two months in vegas. i changed up my nutrition and have been wayyyy more active here than i was in LA. i want to say a big thank you to my friend @tonykasandrinos for being so supportive and encouraging me every single day to meet my goals. only 40 days til greece and the epic hike and im feeling fresh af! thanks tony! hope y’all are having a fantastic weekend xx, N💋
have you ever met a lab who didn’t like to swim? well everybody, meet whiskey! i’ve been trying to teach him by throwing his ball in the pool but i’ve only managed to get his front two feet on the first step. check out that stance tho 😂 #operationgetwhiskeytoswim #yellowlab #goodboy
craving some greek 🇬🇷 lemon chicken soup since i’ve been feeling some serious allergies for the past weekish... here’s a slow mo of how i temper the eggs before adding them to the pot of soup (cuz nobody wants scrambled eggs soup, amirite?!) slowing stir in a ladle of hot broth into your eggs, then you can whisk into your soup. boom. oh and this recipe is on the blog. link in bio 😘 #avgolemono #greeklemonsoup #howiketo
this is what i call the wiggle technique for my foldy cheesy scrambled eggs. super technical, i know 🤪 #howiketo
when was the last time you did something that scared you?! you guysssss... i may have just booked a one way ticket to greece in august 🙈🤭 i’m so f**king excited you have no idea. i’m spending the majority of august in greece 🇬🇷 with my Kasandrinos International fam and then i’m staying in europe for a solo adventure for as long as i can. it’s scary af, and i’m nervous to travel by myself. but i’m excited to wander around and explore. let me know where i should go on my european adventure! #greece #kyparissi #travelblogger #wanderluster
If you #putaneggonit, I'll love you forever. Seriously though, this #BLT + runny yolk egg + shredded gruyere cheese + arugula + maple sriracha aioli is the perfect combo of sweet and salty and spicy! Perfect for anytime of the day, but especially brunching on the weekend! #brunch Grab the recipe here: thefeistykitchen.com/breakfast-blt-maple-sriracha-aioli/
Sometimes I play with my food Here's one of my fav combos for breakfast: egg cooked in @omgheebutter seasoned with @flavorgod sitting on top of avocados and @5280meat bacon. Simple and perfect #yolkporn #poketheyolk
