What is that one veggie your little one refuses to What is that one veggie your little one refuses to eat no matter what? If you've got a picky eater at home who makes crinkles their nose at the sight of veggies, this recipe is for you! A little brown sugar, butter, & cinnamon go a long way to bring out the natural sweetness. 

Pro tip: use your blender or food processor to puree butternut squash and add it to your mac & cheese sauce ๐Ÿ™Œ

It's hard to believe we're coming up on a year sin It's hard to believe we're coming up on a year since the original covid lockdown in March. 2020 tested all of us and caused a lot of stress and anxiety. While there are many methods for dealing with anxiety, one that is often overlooked is diet. 

Foods like salmon, avocado, & chamomile tea help reduce inflammation and supply brain-specific nutrients that have the potential to improve anxiety symptoms ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅฌ

Check out our Food Rx blog post & video for more info on how to reduce anxiety from @chef_julieRD (link in bio!)

The Big Game is coming up! ๐Ÿˆ What's your must-h The Big Game is coming up! ๐Ÿˆ What's your must-have game day food? While I love the traditional dips and potato skins, these avocado fries are simply too good to pass up ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ‘

Perfectly crispy & zesty, these are always a hit! If you like a little bit of spice, add some cayenne pepper into the panko mix. I love serving with homemade ranch or blue cheese dressing. These require minimal prep & can be baked or air fried.

Iโ€™m re-committing to eating more plant-based meals. ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ™ I donโ€™t like to place a ton of restrictions on myself, but knowing that consuming less meat is better for the environment, Iโ€™m trying to be conscious & it gives me a reason to try out some new recipes ๐Ÿ™Œ

Is there anything more comforting than homemade ba Is there anything more comforting than homemade banana bread?! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿซ I told myself I was going to make smoothies and oatmeal all week, causing me to overbuy bananas, and that didnโ€™t end up happening because life lol so banana bread it is ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Everything in moderation ๐Ÿ˜Š 2020 was such an insane year, I am focused on being mindful & trying to incorporate some healthier habits in the new year without beating myself up. 

Do you have any resolutions for 2021? Reminder that resolutions donโ€™t need to be completely life altering goals. It can be as simple as wanting to read more (saying this for myself lol), start gardening, try yoga, or even revisit old hobbies and habits. 

Please share below & if you want to try this delicious recipe itโ€™s from @modern_honey ๐Ÿ˜‹
