Hummuna Hummuna Hummus!

I was so excited about my breakfast cookie from this morning, that I couldn’t help but look forward to my food for the rest of day today too!  Which is a good thing because I got VERY hungry right before my normal lunch hour.  I soothed the wild screaming banshee stomach growls with the last of my spaghetti squash from Saturday:

Totally hit the spot because I may or may not have thrown in some extra garlic 🙂  I mean, I’m not breathing in anyone’s face so no harm no foul there!  It was great because the “noodles” were still kind of crunchy but had softened up a little over the weekend!  I then gave in to my sweet tooth by munching on this little guy:

I love Cuties…they’re so, well, cute!  The vibrant orange and tangy sweetness really helped pick me up since this morning was kind of dragging along.  I just love how food has the ability to help turn a not-so-awesome day into a much better day!

Finally, a couple hours later, I realized I was not only hungry, but needing to eat soon so I wouldn’t be too full for my walk.  Enter the Roasted Garlic + Red Pepper Hummus that I turned into a fabulous wrap!  Whole wheat tortilla, hummus, roasted asparagus, shredded carrots, and 3 slices of roasted deli chicken:

The hummus was SO GOOD, and I was digging the creaminess!  Made me feel like I was eating something bad for me, but it wasn’t.  No better feeling, eh?  Here’s the hummus recipe:

  • 2 cans chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 bulb of garlic, roasted (break apart the bulb, but leave the skins on the cloves. drizzle with olive oil, then cover in foil – make a pouch around them. start in a cold oven set to 300 and roast for 30 minutes. take out and let cool before handling with your fingers)
  • 2 jarred roasted red peppers
  • salt to taste

Throw it all in the food processor and process for 2-3 minutes until creamy.  Voila!

I ended my lunch with a “dessert” of a pink lady apple with ~1 Tbsp of peanut butter.  Again, I love peanut butter, adore it.  The perfect creamy compliment to just about any food 🙂

I hope y’all are enjoying the new blog so far!  Dinner tonight is going to be some sort of pork with sugar snap peas and carrots…YUM!

    Mmmm. I love hummus. You’re right – it makes you feel like you’re being naughty but it’s good for you! Peanut Butter is another “must have” for me!

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 ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

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?
