Simple Shaved Asparagus Pizza from @heathersdish on @FSBank

I love how Spring comes and automatically just seems to know how to make our lives a little bit easier. The craziness of the end of the school year is unrivaled; the programs and commitments never seem to end. Who in their right mind could turn down another last game, another graduation ceremony, another right of passage into the next stage of life?

Not I!

 

Thankfully, this is the time of year when beautiful produce starts to make itself known, showing off at farm stands, markets or grocery stores. Bright green asparagus, plump in all of its springtime glory, shows off in tall thick stalks. Jewel-colored beets appear in seemingly endless rows, begging to be roasted. Strawberries start to actually smell like strawberries, and some of us are lucky enough to find them by the bucketful from the strawberry lady on the side of the road.

The freedom from only root vegetables is apparent in my house. I love a good sheet pan of caramelized roasted root veggies, but nothing compares to enjoying the crunch and tenderness of fresh and seasonal asparagus. I believe a large part of the draw lies in the fact that although we can buy asparagus year-round, you can really only find the good stuff – sweet and tender and plump – in its season.

I love the simplicity of this pizza. Feel free to buy your pizza dough at a local shop or make your own – just make sure it’s your favorite. If you are feeling fancy or want to make this a little heartier you could certainly add some cheese to the baked pizza dough; I just tend toward whatever’s easier most of the time. Topping the hot baked crust with shaved asparagus warms the vegetable up just enough without compromising its crunch. It’s a messy community-friendly dish, which is always my favorite part of food anyway – allowing people to pull together with messy hands and food-covered faces. You got some asparagus on your face? No worries, I’ve got it, too. Now, who’s up for slice number two?

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?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
