There is so much more to life than food. Of course

There is so much more to life than food. Of course, food makes it more enjoyable, but if you are hyper-focusing on what you can eat, what you can't eat, the quality of food you are eating, how much or little you are eating, and more, you probably are missing out on so many other things.

I used to be so strict in my eating that I would pass on events so it wouldn't derail my diet.

That doesn't really sound like a way to live to me.

Food is not just calories. It's enjoying date night, having cake at your kid's birthday party, experiencing new cuisines traveling, coming together with friends and family, fueling your body to tackle life, and more.

Focus on whole foods that make you feel good the majority of the time and enjoy everything else in moderation. The stress you create about eating x,y,z is harming your body more than just eating said food and moving on.

When the way you eat is enjoyable and sustainable, food is just another part of life.

Another recipe to add to your summer menu! Avocado

Say no to boring chicken!! If you need some fun ways to spice up your grilled chicken, I got ya covered! If you don't have a grill, these can be pan-fried, put in the crockpot or Instant Pot, and baked (if you wanna turn on your oven lol).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
My favorite is the jalapeño lime, but I also love the cinnamon basil (don't knock it till you try it). We do a few at a time to have on hand for easy meals during the week.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Which one would you want to try?!

Greek chicken pasta salad made with zucchini noodl

Greek chicken pasta salad made with zucchini noodles! This "pasta" salad is packed with all the greek flavors - tomatoes, artichokes, onions, olives, feta - with the addition of some chicken for protein. And then tossed in a simple greek dressing with lots of parsley, mint, and dill.

It's super light and refreshing, makes a veggie and protein-loaded meal or side dish, and comes together in 30 minutes.

It’s true. Most people are too focused on how they look than to be worried about how you look. Wear the damn bikini/dress/shorts/outfit and rock it. Confidence is sexy.

Happy 4th of July weekend!

If you want to downplay your achievements or exper

If you want to downplay your achievements or experiences, compare them to someone else’s.

Whether it’s in your work, your relationships, fitness journey, aesthetics, the food you are eating, or countless other things.

Don’t forget social media is a highlight reel. We are literally comparing ourselves to the best parts of people's lives.

And do not be afraid to unfollow someone if they are making you feel less than yourself.

Same but different. Lunch yesterday vs today using

Same but different. Lunch yesterday vs today using lots of the same ingredients, and then a few different ones as well. It keeps it interesting, but not too much work for me.

I used leftover steak from Sunday as the protein. Yesterday I served it on some greens with leftover grilled corn, sautéed peppers, onions, and mushrooms, avocado, yogurt, and salsa for a burrito bowl vibe. Today over greens with chickpeas, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers with a vinaigrette for a greek bowl vibe.

I had a conversation with a client the other day about feeling bored with food. She is defaulting to making easy choices as she feels easy is hard to mess up, but that also lends its hand to boring.

While chicken, broccoli, and rice (these are just examples, not what she is eating) are super easy, it’s not going to win the prize for the most exciting. Most people enjoy eating and it’s an experience. And if you aren’t enjoying the food you are eating, it’s probably not going to be sustainable.

The key is finding a happy medium - enjoying the foods you're eating and making it realistic for the time you have. Finding a balance of foods that make you feel good, but also excite you.

And this can look different from me to you. And it might look different from week to week.

Meal prep can be an amazing tool to have prepared healthy options during the week. But you also want to keep it interesting!

What works for us is prepping a few proteins (steak, chicken...) and some carbs (rice, potatoes…). Then adding in some different veggies with spices and fats for a variety. And using sauces and dressing is an easy way to change up flavors.

What is your idea of meal prep?

Tonight's dinner and an INSTAgram! Seared tuna, bok choy, cucumber, coconut rice, and avocado! Nothing fancy, but damn it was good. And I will never get tired of coconut rice - it really adds lots of flavor to a meal and makes it feel fancy.

For the coconut rice - add 1 cup white rice with 1 can (13 ounces) full-fat coconut milk to your instant pot. Set to manual mode on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release for 10 minutes and then release the rest. To cook on the stove, add rice and coconut milk to a saucepan, bring to a low boil, and then let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

For everything else - just sauteed the bok choy with some coconut animos, ginger, and garlic and then quickly seared the tuna for a few minutes on each side.
