• Sometimes cutting spaghetti squash is a serious struggle so I’m sharing a little tip on my stories - just poke the squash in a couple spots with a fork or knife, then pop it in the microwave in a baking dish for 5 minutes, and it will slice through no problem! And if you’re looking for recipe inspiration, find one of my faves - Bolognese Stuffed Soaghetti Squash - on the blog under Mains! It’s soo comforting and delish!

  • When #nationaldessertday falls on #WNBwellnesswednesday, it’s the perfect time to chat about treating yourself in a healthy way! You guys know I have a major sweet tooth... the “desserts” section of my recipe box is just as long as my “salads” section... which pretty much sums me up in a nutshell. 🥰 I love my sweets and feel like we should be able to enjoy our favorite things without the guilt and still be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips on mindfully indulging: 🍫when you’re buying treats at the store, check the ingredients and choose products that are made with real, wholesome ingredients, and take note of the amount of sugar in your products. Some of my go-to’s: @simplemills, @huchocolate, @lilys_sweets, @choczero 🍫go homemade! Much easier to control what ingredients are in your treats we hen you make them yourself!My pantry is stocked with almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut and avocado oil, etc, for healthier baking. @bakeritablog is my go-to for all things grain-free refined sugar-free baking! 🍫if you’re going out - plan ahead and pick and choose your treat. If you’re dreaming of that apple crisp, plan for it and go for a lots of veggies & protein for dinner - balance! 🍫remember it’s a treat, not a cheat, so rather than feeling guilty, just enjoy it, savor it, and move on! Even if you overdo it, don't just throw in the towel on your healthy week. Your next meal is always an opportunity to be mindful again. Ok so what’s everyone having to celebrate dessert day?! 🍫🍪🍩 Photo @currentlykristen

  • I’m sharing my @cava-style Mediterranean Chicken Salad on the blog today! I’m obsessed with their salads and their lemon tahini dressing, so I decided it was time to recreate my order at home! It's a giant entrée salad that's loaded with greens, tons of veggies, an easy & delish paprika chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, pickled onions, herbs, and topped with hummus, and when it’s all tossed together in that tahini dressing, omg it has so much flavor! You’ll love it! Find the recipe on the blog 🥗😍

  • I’ve got delicata squash coming in this week’s produce box so this Delicata Squash Salad with a Lemon Dijon vinaigrette is definitely on the menu this week! Sometimes squash can be intimidating and can feel like a lot of work, but delicata is super easy to make - it’s not hard to cut, you can quickly scoop out the seeds with a spoon, the skin is soft enough to eat once cooked, and it’s so delicious simply roasted with oil & seasoned with salt and pepper. A must try! Recipe👇🏼and on the blog! For the salad: 2 medium delicata squash 2 tbsp avocado oil Salt & pepper 4 big handfuls mixed baby greens 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced 1 apple, thinly sliced 1 cup carrots, chopped 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds or pecans For the dressing: 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp dijon mustard 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 garlic clove, finely minced Salt & pepper to taste Serves 4-5 ​ 1. Preheat oven to 425°. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Slice squash in half lengthwise. Then use a spoon to scoop out all the seeds and discard. Next, slice each squash half into 1/2-inch thick slices (they should look like half moons). 3. Toss squash in avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on your prepared baking sheet in an even layer and roast in the oven for 25 or so minutes (flipping halfway through) until squash is tender and golden. Set aside to cool while you prep the rest of the salad. 4. Add all other salad ingredients into a large bowl. 5. In a separate small bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 6. Add the squash to the salad bowl and toss with the dressing. Garnish with pumpkin seeds or pecans. Enjoy!
