|| chicken, squash, and avocado bowl with lemon tahini dressing || ✨ If I never eat another boring salad in my life, I will be in ordinately pleased with myself. And, if you have been following me for more than two seconds, you probably have picked up on the fact that my salads are full of toppings, varying textures, and a tasty dressing. This is one of my simper salads, but it still checks the boxes ✔️✔️✔️ Full recipe linked in bio!

|| Pulled pork lettuce wraps with sesame ginger sauce || 🥬 I’ve only done #whole30 once, but many of the recipes have stuck with me and become household favorites, to the point that I forget that they are even Whole30 compliant. I’m *not* saying that anyone needs to or should do a special diet... far from that. What I appreciated in that month was the intentionality Patrick and I took to eat well and take care of our bodies, of which we only have one! Recipe for the lettuce wraps linked in bio ✨

Thai inspired chicken and veggies with spicy “peanut” sauce. A quick meal, bordering on comfort food but actually quite good for you and qualifies as #whole30 👏🏼Plus, if you’ve never tried zoodles (zucchini noodles), this is definitely your chance. Recipe linked in bio ✨

Making your own salad dressing isn’t as daunting as you might think- it can be as simple as this:⠀ oil⠀ vinegar or “acid” (like lemon juice)⠀ salt/spices/extras⠀ ⠀ One of my go-to dressings is this lemon tahini dressing, and it’s even #whole30 approved. It’s just olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, apple cider vinegar, and some spices. Simple but delicious! Get the full recipe from the link in my bio ⭐️

Popcorn and Chex savory snack mix- All the salty, crunchy, umami flavor that you could hope for. Better than store bought, and you get to pick what’s included so you don’t have to maneuver around the pieces you don’t like (I’m looking at you, peanuts). I could eat a whole bowl of this in the first quarter of a football game. Grab the recipe via the link in my bio!

In case you missed it last week- my latest recipe- vegan tropical smoothie. The sun is shining today so I’m just going to make one of these and pretend I’m in a tropical paradise ☀️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ recipe linked in bio 🌈

One of my most popular recipes from last year || vegan green smoothie ||. It’s energizing, hydrating, and the kick of ginger helped calm my morning sickness last year! This year looks a little different but I still drink it for a boost of energy to care for my baby girl 🍈 recipe linked in bio!

I struggle with lunches- sometimes it feels like I eat and buy the same old same old foods. Anyone else? When we did #whole30 I came up with a few salad combos and I’m coming back to them years later! For some lunch inspiration follow the link in my bio 🥬

Nothing like a bowl of French onion soup to warm you up during a snowstorm! And by snowstorm, I mean the falling ashes of #Seahawks hope. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Recipe linked in bio⭐️

Temperatures are dropping here in the pacific northwest and it’s about time for me to make another batch of my caramelized pork ramen noodle soup. 🍜 I wouldn’t mind a few snow flurries if they happen but hopefully nothing like the snowpocalypse that happened last February! But if so, I’m going to be ready for it this time💪🏼 grab the recipe for this soup via the link in my bio!
