Just in case anyone needs a reminder today! I received this from a meditation class a couple years ago and here it hangs on my computer screen. I struggle with practicing meditation regularly but breathing deeply I can do! And I feel so much better when I do.

Get your kids cooking in the kitchen early! So glad we did! Enjoyed this meal made by our 19 year old daughter last night ❤️ —> homemade meatballs with gravy, mashed potatoes, broccolini, tri-colored carrots and corn. Super delish. So proud.

Repurposed smoked BBQ meatloaf dinner —-> crazy amazing smoked meatloaf sandwiches 2 nights later with citrus coleslaw. Love dinners, cooking, and enjoying food.

I’m no fancy chef but I sure love getting creative making pizza! This one turned out delish —> BBQ prosciutto with arugula, red onion, and herbed goat cheese! Super simple using pre-rolled dough.

I’ve always felt intimidated by the idea of making bread but this one is so totally doable and yummy —-> Dutch Oven Jalapeño Cheddar Bread. Give it a whirl! Recipe in comments. Don’t be afraid to try making something new — you might just surprise yourself with your talent and creativity!

True story —> I was in Costco recently and overheard someone say “I wish they sold bags of gluten cause I’d add it to everything that’s gluten-free.” I couldn’t help myself and gave a big 👍. This dietitian eats gluten. I know many dietitians who eat gluten. I do also like some gluten-free foods (like quinoa, rice - yep, even white rice! 🍚, oats, corn tortillas 🌮 - ooh, especially freshly made in Mexico) but not because of the popular gluten-free trend but instead because I enjoy their taste! Choose whatever grains you love ❤️ rather than limiting yourself based on fads.

Choose clothes that…
*Feel comfortable to wear
*Keep you warm when it’s cold out
*Cool you down when it’s hot
*Feature colors and styles that you love
*Let you move and breathe

Who cares what size they are!

Smoked pork loin (for days…9 lbs!) on the with grilled veggies on the with a little heat with .pepper and Japanese BBQ sauce. Now to repurpose the leftover pork loin = BBQ pork sandwiches, pork loin arugula breakfast scramble, pork and pineapple grain bowls. That’ll work!

You don’t need that device (today, tomorrow, or any day). Deciding what to eat or how much to eat based on the scale takes you further away from relearning how to read and listen to your innate hunger and fullness cues. You don’t need to subject yourself to the scale telling you if you’ve been good or bad or if you’re “on track.” Free up space - in your bathroom, in your mind, and in your life - by trashing your scale.

Start your day with this! Thoughts are a form of energy. Bring on the positive thoughts and feel the positive energy. As much as I consider myself a positive thinker, I can also find myself sitting in doubt from time to time. Time to get excited for all the things that ARE going right and WILL go right in the future!

Are you hard on yourself when you aren’t eating “healthy”? Does this sound familiar? —> “I can’t believe I screwed up again?” “Well, that totally ruined my day!” Being critical shuts the door to self-compassion and gaining an understanding of the why behind the eating behavior - both of which move you closer to positive self-care. Being curious brings opportunity to learn something important — that maybe you had a tough day and your brain was trying to find relief, maybe that your body was just trying to tell you it hadn’t had enough to eat earlier in the day, or perhaps that sometimes it’s ok to eat more because it tastes so good. You are human. Stop trying to eat perfect…it doesn’t exist. Try my motto — Be Curious, Not Critical.
