Starting the New Year the way we believe in living it—moving our bodies, getting outdoors, and building simple habits that actually last ❄️

Health isn’t a resolution. It’s a daily practice.

A whole-food, plant-forward way of eating supports heart health, and many of the same habits are linked to lower cancer risk—through better inflammation control, metabolic health, and gut support.

What’s good for your heart is often good for your whole body.

Ponderosa Lemon Pickle
I had one huge ponderosa lemon. Ponderosa lemon is a cross between grapefruit and citron. I decided to make a pickle this year with it. I tried candied lemon last year and it turned out too bitter. Pickle came out good and tastes like a citron pickle.
It goes well with yogurt and rice.

🍞 The Joy of Homemade Bread 🍯
There’s something incredibly satisfying about pulling a warm loaf out of the oven — especially when it’s wholesome, ancient-grain goodness made from scratch. This Einkorn Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread turned out soft, nutty, and seriously crave-worthy. 😊
⠀
I followed this recipe — with active dry yeast, warm water, maple syrup, whole wheat einkorn flour, flax eggs, salt, and olive oil — then watched the dough come alive and rise beautifully before baking into a golden loaf.

The flavor is earthy and rich, the crumb tender, and the aroma in my kitchen? Totally worth every moment of effort.

🌮 Taco Tuesday made EASY!
Busy day? No problem. Build a colorful, flavor-packed taco in minutes — vegan, gluten-free, and loaded with veggies, fiber, and crunch. Your heart will thank you later.

Here’s what I tossed together:
🌽 Corn tortillas
🔥 Grilled veggie mix — bell peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms… whatever’s in the fridge. Season with a pinch of salt, chili powder, cumin, and elote seasoning. Air-fry until tender and lightly charred.
🫘 Black beans — drained, then warmed with cumin, coriander, paprika, and a little elote seasoning.
🥑 Guacamole
🍅 Fresh salsa
💖 Pickled onions
🥗 Veggie slaw for color + crunch

Assemble, squeeze a little lime, and dig in. Quick, satisfying, plant-powered tacos that make Tuesdays way more fun.
