Brown Sugar Curry Pecans are a delicious snack, but even more amazing served on top of salads or desserts. You'll love this versatile recipe! @heathersdish

Boy oh boy, do I have a nice little series for y’all this week!

 

See, over Christmas we went to lunch with family, and on the menu was this amazing kale salad. I didn’t actually order it, but Nate’s grandmother did and sent the leftovers home with us. The next day I remembered the salad in the fridge, and thinking that I was really hungry and didn’t want another cookie (HELLO CHRISTMAS COOKIES) I dug in.

 

WHOA.

 

I feel like I should mention that I don’t actually love kale. I can handle it, but it’s super rare that I find it downright enjoyable. That whole “tastes a little like dirt” thing it has going on isn’t super conducive to making me want to eat it all the time. But knowing that kale is better for the body than cookies got the best of me, and I’m so so so glad it did!

After all the Christmas goodies were gone and we actually had to go grocery shopping again, one of the first things on my list to make was that salad. Into the cart went the kale, the dressing ingredients, the pecans, the dried fruit. I got home, made everything with my own little spin, and voila! The best kale salad I’ve ever had in my life; nay, one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my entire life!

 

All of the ingredients are great on their own, but if you ask me the thing that MAKES this salad so amazing is the pecans. They’re crunchy and flavorful, adding a little sweet and a little spice to the mix. I love curry, but Nate’s not a big fan so whenever I can find a not-so-in-your-face way to use it I’m all in.

 

A quick warning: these pecans are totally snackable, so if you’re not one to exhibit self-control (ahem, talking to myself here) then consider yourself warned. Get an accountability partner or you may find you eat the whole batch while they’re still warm!

 

The next couple days I’m going to share the dressing recipe and then the final salad, so DEFINITELY look forward to that, but in the meantime go ahead and make these babies tonight…you know, to be prepared. Because this is one salad series you won’t want to miss!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
