lovely links with @heathersdish #TGIF

Y’all, I’m about giddy right now with the fact that it’s actually starting to smell like fall! It’s been so hot for so long and I’m just so excited to really revel in the cooler fall days already. Yesterday I was hiking and it was just heavenly, even when it got warmer, to have that little bit of chill and wind to refresh me along the way.

 

Question: are you part of my private Beautycounter Facebook group yet? If not I would love to invite you to join if you’re interested in learning more about clean beauty, healthy (and quick!) on-the-fly recipes, workout recommendations, and more access to Beautycounter deals as they happen. Just click here and request to be added!

 

I hope you guys have a great weekend filled with people you love – and enjoy these lovely links while you’re at it!

  1. Biggest takeaway (although I would recommend listening to the whole thing): we all have the power and ability to forgive.
  2. I’m a keeper and it’s the most exhausting, humbling, beautiful thing in the world.
  3. YIKES. It’s so simple to choose safer…
  4. I’m so dumb when it comes to eyebrows, but loved this article highlighting their history!
  5. Just found out about this planner; what’s your go-to?
  6. This pull-apart lasagna looks just silly-good.
  7. When it comes to apples I usually love them as-is, but this bread looks INCREDIBLE.
  8. I’m not joking when I say I could eat an entire pot of this braised beef and orzo – all the heart eyes for this one!
  9. A week in the life of a food blogger. See why it’s a real job? šŸ˜‰
  10. New to the world: SAFE makeup remover! Innovative, safe, effective…doesn’t get much better!

    hi heather! i have enjoyed heather’s dish for many years and you have led me to some of my favorite other blogs, too. anyone can fall victim to multi-level marketing companies, but the reality is that it’s really not about the products at all — from leggings to cookware to safe beauty products, the real money is in the salespeople, 90+% of whom lose money in these ventures. i would encourage you to do some deep research into this. it’s been disheartening to see your blog go in this direction — not because i have anything against the products themselves per se but because these companies actually prey on women, not empower them — it’s realkt not about the products; mlms are all the same when it comes down to it. i really do wish you the very best.

      Hey Amanda,

      I’ve had to sit on this comment for a few days because I wondered how I could/should defend myself and a company I have to care deeply about. So first I want to say that I am thankful that you cared enough to reach out and express concern. You certainly aren’t the first to express disapproval in this business venture of mine, nor will you be the last, but I am honored that you would do so in such a kind way. It’s obvious that you care.

      I understand that there are a lot of MLMs out there that are less than ideal; for a long time I was very disheartened when I saw friends and family jump into them without any kind of research into the products or business structure. I was just as surprised as anyone when I realized that I felt called to jump into Beautycounter as a business. Before I signed up at all I poured over reviews of the business and products, spoke to current and former consultants, and looked at the investors and leaders in the company. And here’s what it came down to for me: because I have a very deep understanding on a personal level of the effects that toxins in personal care products can cause I knew that I wanted to jump in with a company that’s destined to change that. Whether I got rich or sold nothing, I wanted to educate others and give an alternative to the really terrible things that most people are putting on their skin.

      In regards to Beautycounter, we are a certified B-corp which means we are a for-profit company certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Our mission is rooted in bettering the lives of literally everyone. And I know that I can speak for all of the consultants on my team when I say our mission is our #1 priority. Finally, because we know that not everyone wants to support friends and families engaged in network marketing, you can simply go to http://www.beautycounter.com and purchase directly from the company without supporting any one person.

      As I said before I really appreciate you taking the time to craft a kind message, and I want to let you know that I did my research and counted up the costs. If you ever want to talk more about this I would be happy to – you can always email me at heathersdish {at} gmail {dot} com! I certainly hope you don’t stop reading the blog simply because of my work with Beautycounter, but if you choose to I wish you nothing but the absolute best!

ā˜€ļøSamples time! Interested in snagging some ā˜€ļøSamples time!

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. šŸ˜‚ Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

ā¤ļø I AM STRONG
ā¤ļø I AM CAPABLE
ā¤ļø I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
.
Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because šŸ˜‹.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
