The fam of Coachella 2025💛

My 10th trip to the desert, and it’s always a blast! Just might be back next year 🤪

🤔 Why haven’t I been so active here??

🥰 We became a family of 4 last year and enjoying/struggling/managing/savoring the days of infancy again…

During my pregnancy, the joy of cooking was fleeting. My partner was away for work weekdays, babygirl is still picky and I just needed to eat. Slowly by surely, I have been getting that spark back and enjoying cooking. 💖

Random food memory:
As a young tween, one of my favorite meals was a #1 from Mcdonald’s with Hi-C orange, super size….then a bout of ED at the turn of puberty. That was a short stint, but that experience set me up to experience orthorexia for the following decade at minimum.

These days in adulthood, food is food. BigMacs are enjoyable from time to time. All foods fit.

I have been enjoying since I was a young girl….I remember losing a tooth, leaving a school book in first grade, the weekend dinners and various locations in the valley that once were. Metro center was our tried and true growing up.

Since then, 20+ years ago…..chili cheese fries are my staple meal and rarely stray. Part comfort, part nostalgic…100% tasting IMHO.

It’s ok if your foods are tied to memories/comfort/routine. This is part of what makes food enjoyable…the social aspect.

🍽 What are your longtime food staples ?

My favorite thing about dolsot bibimbap (hot stone mixed rice) is the crispy rice when you get closer to finishing this!

Chodang, you always are a favorite!

One week out of second and last covid vaccine, I’m thankful for modern medicine.

We know it won’t entirely prevent covid, but to help mitigate this GLOBAL pandemic is the goal here.

I’m thankful my immediate family has not been infected since last year and are for the most part vaccinated too.

Finding our taste preferences change over time is quite interesting....I used to hate cucumber and feta!!

Now it’s a great snack with some lemon vinaigrette and crackers. Sometimes those food preferences are consequences of diet culture. Post nutrition education I had a lot of unlearning to do with just enjoying food instead of merely “fuel”

🥸 What are some foods you disliked but now enjoy??

TBH: I’m sad that this year has to be different for the holidays. Shi’masani dóó shi’cheii are not able to be present at the table because we want them safe. This is the first holiday season we didn’t have family present for Turkey day or Christmas.

In Navajo culture, our family does not just stop at the nuclear/immediate family nor the extended family. Our clans and kinship is broader than those boundaries of western ideologies. I haven’t seen my whole family of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and rez pubbies in a year....it’s hard but I understand that keeping our family safe is best. I see you people who are trying their best to do the same, it’s for our k’é.

***
At any rez holiday table, a set menu is usually off the cards and it’s potluck style. Turkey here, naneskasdi (tortillas) and Neeshjizhii (steamed corn and mutton) stew over there! It’s ambrosia salad and green salad available.

Sometimes we get inundated with nutrition constantly being associated with the nutrients and calories (major 🙄🙄) but nutrition also involves styles of eating and the enjoyment of food with those loved ones. May your holiday be safe, well and tasty! - Ashley

Korean food is one of my fave foods, not just talking about KBBQ either. At home we made bibimbap, mixed rice bowl. Haven’t made this in ages, but cooking each colorful veggie is tedious.

Much prefer the dolsot version, which is made is a hot stone and the rice crisps up!

One day I’ll go in length about my adoration for Korean cuisine, but next time you’re up for Korean...try bibimbap if you haven’t!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!
We are still here and will be here! 💛

One of the things I strive for my daughter is to have a better relationship with food and her body....stuff I had to unlearn even post dietetics education and working in nutrition.

One way, and quite challenging to engage is having her help cook. This at minimum exposes her to the foods, that is she allowed to try if she pleases...or just play with different textures.
