This lazy girl’s day off dinner was quick and easy to pull together! Some quick chops of broccolini, peppers, onion, potatoes, garlic and tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and roasted at 425 degrees, are making the bulk of dinner tonight. I’m going to serve this with instant pot quinoa. 10 minutes of prep time, and an hour of Cook time. And I will have lots of leftovers for lunches. 🌱🍝

We all know about our 3 essential macronutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates). But many don’t know that our bodies require about 30 essential micronutrients too. And fruits and veggies are bursting with these micronutrients, as well as so many other health promoting constituents. So brighten up your plate and eat the rainbow 🌈 of delicious colors, flavors, and textures that fruits 🍉 🍎 🍅 and veggies 🥕 🥦 🫑 offer. Your tongue 😛 and your body will thank you for it with vibrant health! 🥗 🧄🫐💪🤸🏾‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🚴‍♀️

A uniquely sweet surprise is hidden within the papery covering (calyx) of ground cherries. My taste buds pick up a combination of flavors- somewhere between tomato 🍅 pepper 🫑 and pineapple 🍍. If you haven’t tried them yet, grab some up when you see them! You don’t know what you’re missing with this tasty little treat! 😋

It’s all in the gratitude! Happy 57th trip around the sun to my twin brother, Erik, and to me! 🎂

I love summer veggies so much! 🍅 🥒 🌿 And a simple breakfast of toast with juicy cucumbers, tomatoes, and basil, fresh from the garden, is heaven to my taste buds! 😋 I like to do thick slices, and to pile them high as I eat, so I get more flavor with each bite.

It’s cucumber 🥒 season! Do you know what that means? fermented pickles! 🤩 They’re great for your gut microbiome and oh so delicious! 😋 Chop up your fresh garden jewels 🥒 (you can try other veggies too!) and add them to a glass jar. Fill with salt brine (1 tablespoon salt per cup of water), making sure that your cucumbers stay fully submerged throughout the fermentation process. I always sneak a taste test at about a week, to see how they’re doing, but it usually takes about four weeks or so to get the full fermentation. And it’s very important to remember to keep your jars🫙 loosely tightened, or to “Burp” them (Open the lid to let off the fermentation gasses) daily. Store in the fridge when they’re done fermenting.
