Do me a favor and save this reminder for tomorrow morning ok?

Grains are a main source of carbohydrates (aka our brain and body’s preferred source of fuel) and for some reason diet culture has driven the narrative HARD that they’re “bad” 👿

Well diet culture will tell you all kinds of lies and grains are not bad for you. Yes, there are varieties and yes, some have more nutrients than others…but they all can fit into your meals you cook. If you want a 🥯 without any protein that’s OK. If you want 🧇or🥞without adding fruit that’s OK. If you want to add those things, that’s OK. You don’t need rules in the kitchen dictating your breakfast or any meal for that matter. 😤

So tell me, what carbs/grains are you having for breakfast?

A motto to live by am I right? 🙃

Today was a hard day. Period. I had swings of energy and the I can do it attitude…and I also had tears, anger, frustration, and the F it attitude. 😤

I guess I share this because I think it’s normal and not something I get to see on social media a lot. I shared that last week we see a lot of highlights from people’s lives and for me I see content that I wish I had time to create right now. Sometimes days don’t just go good or bad. They go gray. ⬜️ They just go and somehow you get to the end of it and think, phew.

For me this is referencing a couple of difficult situations but what does it mean to you? Do you have swings of emotions during your day? I’m really loving my current reminder to do “what I can, when I can.” It’s helping me prioritize what is realistic to get done in a day and to cut myself some damn slack.

Being gentle and kind to yourself can do WONDERS. Instead of berating yourself into a hole further, pull out some tools like:
🥄This mantra today
🥄Breathing deeply or guided breathing/meditation
🥄Gentle movement or dance it out to your favorite jam
🥄Cry - it’s OK
🥄Get some outside air
🥄Stretch your body
🥄Ask for help

These are few tools that work for me. How about you?🥄

Ever feel like you have to start over on Monday af

Ever feel like you have to start over on Monday after a holiday weekend? How about after any weekend?

How would you like to work on banishing that thought? It is totally possible!

I find that sometimes starting even with the thoughts we have at the grocery store can help.
👉 instead of I should cut out bread this week because of the weekend… try saying, it’s OK that I nourish myself with bread and all foods no matter what happened over the weekend
👉I am deserving of all foods any time
👉I can nourish myself the way I normally do and don’t need to go to extremes in order to be healthy

What message did you need today?

Happy Fourth!! Have a safe and happy celebration.

Happy Fourth!! Have a safe and happy celebration. Here’s a couple@of quick holiday eats reminders:

🎆You don’t have to earn your food through movement
🎆Joyful movement is more important than burning calories
🎆Eyes on your own plate is a great response to someone who food shames others
🎆Hydrate with water through the day as you’re able
🎆Enjoy any and all good with zero judgment or guilt. How? Gently remind yourself the foods you choose to eat are neutral and hold no moral value.

I fully understand these things don’t come easily to everyone. Actually, they tend to take a lot of unlearning and relearning. Just know if you’re wanting to unlearn a poor relationship with food, it’s possible. 🎆

I was gifted some @kodiakcakes blueberry muffin mix and this waffle maker! So I thought…muffin waffles! Waffins? Mufaffle? 😜

If you’re trying to make something fun and festive this weekend but don’t have time to bake from scratch, grab a box mix! My favorite truly are the @kodiakcakes mixes and no, I was not paid to say that!

Also, just because a box mix says it’s for “muffins” doesn’t mean you can’t make them into waffles 😚 labels and titles of foods are just that, you’re free to get creative beyond those labels!🇺🇸

Have a happy and healthy weekend! #kodiakcakes #flapjacksonthe4th

Did you catch my real yesterday on these fourth of July Apple Sparklers!? 💥

These are super easy to make! Cut your apples in to matchsticks, coat them in whipped cream cheese, and sprinkle on festive sprinkles. If you don’t wanna take the time to lay them out in this fashion, you could just mix sprinkles into your container of whipped cream cheese and simply dip sliced apples in😋

if you make these be sure to tag me and let me know! Get ready for some more fun with food Friday coming at you soon 😏😏

#normalizenormalkitchens Happy Monday everybody! I

#normalizenormalkitchens Happy Monday everybody! I thought we could all use a reminder that a lot of the things we see on social media are just highlight reel’s. They are often carefully selected pictures, edited, and fit to tell a story.

it is just sometimes those stories are a bit disproportionate to real life. So here is a real life photo of my kitchen before I cooked dinner tonight. I made Mom’s Skillet Chicken Pot Pie (recipe from @skinnytaste 🥘) and I had just got done putting the dishes away, folding the laundry, cleaning the cat litter, taking the garbage out, working at one of my jobs for most of the morning, and taking time to work out. I paused to take this photo because sometimes I get caught up in Instagram feeds thinking I’m not doing enough. But I am and so are you 😘

hope your Monday is going well! What are you cooking tonight?
