Let’s take a quick second away from talking about the 2026 dietary guidelines 🙄 and talk about how ⁣
AMAZING (and wildly underappreciated) basil seeds are.⁣
⁣
These tiny seeds are a fiber powerhouse, helping support gut health, blood sugar balance, and fullness. And they’re an easy way to sneak more plant diversity into your day. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle them into smoothies, yogurt, cottage cheese, or oatmeal. Or make a basil seed pudding!⁣
⁣
This fits perfectly with my message for omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians alike: eat more (minimally processed) plants!⁣
⁣
And, when it comes to the new guidelines, there are recommendations I agree with…and ones I don’t. Nutrition is 50 shades of gray, not black and white.⁣
⁣
I’m curious. What are your thoughts on the new guidelines? Have you tried basil seeds???⁣
⁣

Having a s*t% day too??? 😵‍💫⁣
Try flipping the switch. 🔄⁣
⁣
Today started out… not great.⁣
I lost my doubles tennis match. 🎾⁣
Our guests canceled their upcoming stay at our Lake Lure Airbnb 1.5 weeks out (👀 if you want Jan 18–20, I’ll make you a great deal!).⁣
And I had to say goodbye to my baby boy (22 years old… still my baby 😂) after two weeks home for the holidays. 😭⁣
⁣
I was having a full-on pity party when it hit me—why not flip the switch?⁣
⁣
So I did.⁣
✨ Walked in the door to the most enthusiastic “WE MISSED YOU, MAMA!” pups (dogs truly are the best medicine of all) and gave them a big snuggle.⁣
✨ Made my favorite chocolate cherry smoothie—10/10 best healthy comfort food.⁣
✨ Had a great heart-to-heart with my daughter (yay!)… even though she heads back to London next Monday (boo 😩).⁣
✨ And soaked up the warm afternoon sunlight-much needed after all our recent rain.☔️⁣
⁣
Some days don’t turn out as planned, but this is a gentle reminder that how we meet them can.⁣
⁣
💛 Your turn. What’s one thing you did recently to flip the switch? LMK!
