Bad Breath Potato Salad

Hey hey hey!  How’s it rollin’?

Today has been a fairly productive day, but the best part so far has been that I was able to make a recipe that I love, and create a new (hopefully favorite?) recipe!  Luckily I had some time to prepare a different dinner tonight, so on the menu was Parmesan Chicken, Brussels Sprouts (swoon!), and what I have dubbed “Bad Breath Potato Salad.”  Intrigued?  I thought so 🙂

First, I had lunch at Panera Bread today!  I had a half of a Greek salad (romaine, red onion, feta, tomatoes, pepperoncini, Kalamata olives and Greek dressing.

I also had half of a Mediterranean sammie (hummus, tomatoes, red peppers, feta, cucumbers, all piled on tomato bread) and some water!

Doubles yums going on here!  When I got home I put together a wire shelving unit to house stuff in our “random stuff” closet, and then got started on dinner.  The chicken was easy because I got it pre-prepped at Target.  All it required was some baking!

Next I did the brussels sprouts!  I got this recipe from my friend Stef, who got it from Bon Appetit and then tweaked it herself!

Here’s the recipe I used today:

  • 1 box (~1 lb) brussels sprouts
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2-3 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp caraway seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Basically you cut the bottom off of the sprouts and then cut them in half.  Stir together all of the other ingredients in a bowl, add sprouts, and toss to combine.  Roast on 350 for 30 minutes, turning halfway.  The result is a great crispy outside, and the “dressing” caramelizes on top!  SOOO GOOOOOOOD 🙂

Then came the “Bad Breath Potato Salad”

Here’s the recipe:

  • 1-1.5 lbs small potatoes (baby Yukon golds, red potatoes, purples)
  • 1/8 cup + 1 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2-4 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/8 cup dijon mustard
  • salt + pepper to taste

Cut the potatoes into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.  Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil and roast at 400 for 20 minutes.  Let cool for 10 minutes.  Meanwhile, mix all of the other ingredients together in a bowl.  After potatoes have cooled for 10 minutes, toss everything together.  Serve chilled or at room temp.

The final plate:

This was sooooo good!  I might have only had a couple bites of the potato salad since I ate THE ENTIRE THING OF BRUSSELS SPROUTS and wasn’t hungry anymore.  Oops!  But seriously, it was all great and I was glad to get away from pasta and bread for a night 🙂

I’ve gotta run because we’re watching the Truth Project tonight!  Hope y’all have a wonderful evening!

Also, to continue from last night (the good part), what are your top 5 things you love about yourself?  Here are mine again!

  1. I love my blue eyes that I got from my Daddy;
  2. I love my crooked nose that I got from my Mommy;
  3. I love that I am strong-willed AND gentle;
  4. I love my weird sense of humor;
  5. I love my strong and athletic legs!

    Wow I do like that ‘I love about myself’ stuff. I used to run courses for people who couldn’t connect with others socially and romantically.. big problem in many people.. they just can’t find anything to love! Thanks for that.

    1. I love that at nearly 60 I still have a childlike humor and have smooth, velvety, almost wrinkle free skin
    2. I love having green eyes, which just appeared as Mom and Dad are blue and brown!
    3. I love that I am a disseminator of information to help people wake up, grow good food, eat healthy and love the Earth
    4. I love that as a big city girl I have blended into a back holler community in hillbilly land in N.GA mountains!!
    5. I love my adventurous nature with food and that I love to cook and can do it frugally!

    there ya go!

    Oh yum.. sounds like a great dinner. I’ve yet to have brussel sprouts.. looks like I may be missing out on something!

    And what a good idea!!!
    1. I like my green/hazel eyes from my mom

    3. My love of learning
    4. The love I have for taking care of my body
    5. My strength (and I don’t just mean physical strength)

    Bad breath potato salad sounds like it tastes delicious, I figure there might be some garlic as the culprit!

If there’s a silver lining in the quarantines from last year it’s that I know now that I can handle much more chaos than I thought I could 🤪
A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with my avocado plant! Swipe to see this little guy as a teeny sprout 🌱 

I remember when I wasn’t sure it would sprout at all, and then one day the seed split and there it was! We also hit a point November-January where there was zero growth and I wondered again if it was a waste of time.

Now there are new leaves, new height, and (most importantly) stronger roots, all because of a little patience and care (it’s a metaphor y’all 😆). I find myself excited about the next season where it will be planted in dirt, which will offer new challenges - and growth- of its own. What a blessing to learn such deep lessons from a humble seed!

God, thank you for the little things that show us how much the little things matter. Amen.

Wanna know what DOES work though? This amazing new deodorant! The biggest question I get about cleaner products is always about which is the best natural deodorant. Friends, I’ve found some decent ones in the past, but this one takes the cake!

And, because I know I’ll get asked, my favorite scents are in this order: Fresh Coconut, Soft Lavender, Clean Rose. The coconut smells like a vacation, and couldn’t we all use a vacay right now? 🏖 Link in the ol’ profile to shop!
🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I str 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I struggle getting enough protein into my diet. Who else can relate?!

One of my physical health goals this year is to gain lean muscle and get stronger, which means that I need to be getting enough protein in on a daily basis. For me a great source of lean protein is chicken breasts, but if they don’t taste great I’m not having it! So, if this is you, I have a solution for you: BRINE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! 

Here’s my fail-proof brine recipe for perfectly flavorful chicken breasts. Cook ‘em however you want - just make sure you brine them first! The difference is enormously worth it!

Recipe is for about 4-6 chicken breasts:
•3 tablespoons kosher salt
•3 tablespoons honey
•2 cups lukewarm water
•2 cups cold water

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a simmer. Remove and stir until the salt is dissolved, then pour in the cold water. IT MUST BE COLD - otherwise the brine will start to cook the chicken breasts! When the mixture is lukewarm, add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re covered in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 1-6 hours (I recommend 6 if you can). When they’re finished, remove from the brine, rinse, pat dry and cook as desired!
🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with findi 🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with finding cardio equipment for their home gym on a budget?

I love running, walking and hiking, but weather, childcare, and a certain global pandemic make consistently getting out to do those kinda difficult. I’ve always enjoyed my #homegym, but quality cardio equipment is expensive! 

So what’s a girl to do?

This past fall I randomly decided to look at steppers, and found this @sunnyhealthfitness one on @walmart for $50! I just wanted something that I could use for 20-30 minutes 4-ish days a week, and it’s been an amazing fit. Would I like a Peloton? Duh, of course. But this has worked so well with the budget and space we have!

What’s your biggest struggle in curating a home gym?
A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t r A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t recommend seeing a counselor or therapist enough. I was weird about it first, felt like my problems weren’t big or messy enough to warrant professional help. And when I did start seeing my counselor I was awkward (this shouldn’t be a surprise). But here we are 4 months later and I’m seeing some incredible life-giving movement. God is so good, and I’m so thankful for friends who normalized counseling and therapy for me!
So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed (or really in my stories too). Truthfully I’m still heavily processing the last 2 months, which were preceded by 10 other hard months. Life is brutal and beautiful and next-level hard and a joy, all swirled together. I won’t pretend that everything is OK; it’s not. I’m not.

BUT GOD.

This past weekend I had a moment of complete clarity and joy and the knowledge that I will be OK. And for that only-God moment I’m so thankful. For all of you who have been praying for our family, who have offered the sweetest words and condolences, who have truly been there, waiting and wading with me through the hard - thank you. God is still good. He is still on his throne. And I am so unwaveringly thankful for that!❤️
Just a couple quick reminders: ⭐️ healthy doe Just a couple quick reminders:

⭐️ healthy doesn’t have to be hard
⭐️ you’re allowed to “mess up”
⭐️ you’re allowed to be multidimensional
⭐️ don’t overcomplicate it 
⭐️ YOU ARE CAPABLE 

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!

Does anyone even do a word of the year anymore after 2020? If you do I’d love to see you share it below!
