I don’t know who needs to hear this, but meals don’t have to be perfect.
They can still be nourishing if all you have time for is throwing random ish in a bowl and calling it good.
They don’t have to be some elaborate recipe to taste delicious.
And a Sunday date to your favorite Indian and ice cream spots is always a good idea.
If this past week has taught me anything, it’s that flexibility is key. Prepping and freezing ingredients is a lifesaver. Celery and peanut butter/flax is a wonderful addition to any plate. Bone broth lattes are amazing ways to get in some nourishment when you’re on your feet 28 hours a day baking.
•bone broth lattes: red velvet, macadamia coconut eggnog, peppermint mocha, maca maple.
•homemade oyster stew w. leftover Lowcountry oysters from our freezer
•prepped miso persimmon compote, pumpkin seed pesto, einkorn English muffins, sorghum bread, plantain wraps, and butternut squash soup from the freezer were LIFE SAVERS.
•go to order—tandoori shrimp👌🏼(collier LOVES their tikka masala)
• order: half vegan magic shell/half oat milk & cookies (although we sampled their seasonal eggnog & peppermint bark flavors… 🔥)
•I did indeed make a snack board with popcorn for Saturday night girl dinner. And yet it still was more nutrient dense than most standard American dinners.
•Tofu is a GREAT easy, delicious, and budget friendly staple. So is organic rotisserie chicken. And eggs. All are so versatile.
• I could easily eat roasted sweet potatoes for every meal, anyone else?
