Oysters 🦪

I love oysters. Raw, grilled, and everything in between. But did you know farmed oysters are one of the most sustainable seafood options out there? Unlike many other farmed fish, oysters don’t need feed or antibiotics—they grow by filtering the water around them, which actually helps clean the ocean. They’re packed with zinc, B12, and protein. Nutritionally they are almost identical to wild ones!

I made a bunch of different sauces to top by raw oysters with!

Kimchi
• kimchi
• kimchi brine

Mignonette:
• red wine vinegar
• chopped shallot
• black pepper

Bloody Mary:
• tomato juice
• tabasco
• horseradish
• celery
• jalapeño
• tajin (for oyster rim)

Lemon Sriracha
• lemon juice
• sriracha
• honey

Scallion Ginger
• rice wine vinegar
• minced scallion
• grated ginger
• grated garlic

Mango Mignonette
• rice wine vinegar
• chopped mango
• chopped shallot
• minced mint

Soy Mignonette
• grated ginger
• minced spring onion
• soy sauce
• rice wine vinegar

Pickles
• chopped pickle
• pickle juice

🐟 Omega-3s 🐟

Fish high in omega-3s are amazing for heart, brain, and hormone health. It is recommended to consume 250-500 mg of omega-3s daily. Using this guide, aim to consume 2-3 servings of fish rich in omega-3s.

It’s important to be conscious of mercury levels in fish (especially if pregnant or breastfeeding). So aim to make 1-2 servings of fish/week low mercury fish.

What is your favorite type of fish to eat? 🌊🦀🐠🐟

Sushi night, but make it omakase 🍣✨

I recently had the chance to experience an omakase meal—where the chef chooses each course—and let me tell you, the quality of the fish was next level.

Fresh, high-quality fish isn’t just delicious—it’s a great source of lean protein, omega-3s, and essential nutrients like iodine and B12. Plus, when food is this fresh, you truly taste the difference.

Tip: when dining out, focus less on perfection and more on the experience, the ingredients, and how the food makes you feel.

🍽️ Eating while on vacation 🍽️

I recently traveled to Nashville, TN and ate tons of Nashville fried chicken and it was delicious🍗🔥 But after a few days of crispy everything, my body started asking (okay, begging) for fiber and high-quality protein.

This beet & goat cheese salad hit the spot. To make this tasty meal super nourishing I added grilled salmon to it! It was colorful, satisfying, and just what I needed to reset without restriction.

Here are some things I tried to do on vacation to nourish my body:
• Eat fruit at breakfast (for fiber + vitamins)
• Drink plenty of water (especially if drinking alcohol or in hot weather)
• Include fiber rich foods at lunch or dinner (bean salad, coleslaw, salad, etc)

It can feel so tempting to make every meal something delicious that “the locals would eat” but in reality it’s not feasible and if I did that on my trip I would’ve eaten corn dogs and fried chicken for every meal!!!! It’s so important to be “in tune” with your body and listen to what it needs.

And yes that is a cider that I’m drinking with my dinner!! What isn’t noted is the two glasses of water that I also drank with dinner. Everything can work in moderation and the whole point of vacation/traveling is to enjoy yourself and make it memorable!
