True life I just spent 30 minutes frustrated that I shot a series of photos in super yellow light only to realize (RIGHT before deleting them all) that my phones night shift setting was on 😂. TBH I hate being an amateur. . . YO GIRL has been craving fruit HARDCORE the past few weeks. Idk what it is but I’ve ever been drinking juice (I’ve never really cared for juice). I’m really loving citrus right now. Especially the glorious blood orange. It’s not as sour and delivers just the right flavor. . . 🍊 What’s your favorite citrus? As much as I’ve loved growing Okra, I’ve had a hard time loving to eat it. But with a lot of practice and suggestions of others, I’ve learn how to cook and appreciate this incredible vegetable. . . A little curry powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili pepper.... I swear that’s all you need. Recipe will be posted soon to the blog! . How do you like to eat okra? I’d love to know! It’s snap pea szn! I’m in lurvvvv with the incredible flavor and fragrance of snap peas. That’s why they deserve to be highlighted in a dish of their own. Simple, easy, delish 🤤 Check out this 👩🏻‍🌾 Recipe link in bio 👩🏻‍🌾 Yoooooo. Normal 👏 nutrition 👏 is 👏grey. #embracethegrey . . Diet culture tells us: Eat this, not that. This is good, this is bad. I can have this, if I don’t have that. I can eat this, if I do that. . . Normal nutrition is not that clear cut. Why? Because normal nutrition is NOT the same for everyone. Yes we have general GUIDELINES for almost all people, but we have to make several adjustments for the individual. And guidelines are not rules. They are not finite. They not absolute. They are general recommendations for the mean average of the healthy population. . . I’m sure it feels unnatural to start living in a grey area. Diet culture has told us our entire lives that we need to follow strict rules to be thin or healthy. But have you noticed.... these rules change... a lot. Every ten years it seems that we have another set of rules to follow that TOTALLY contradict the previous rules. . . WHY?! Because grey is necessary. Balance is necessary. Your body needs it, your mind needs it. . For over 20 years diet culture convinced us dietary fat is bad. Now it’s telling us that dietary fat is good and carbs are bad. . WHY?! Is it changing research on macronutrients?! Ummm haha no. It’s changing complications. As humans we tend to blame one thing for all of our problems, try to eliminate it, and then create a whole new set of problems. But as humans we need to learn BALANCE, that ALL macronutrients serve us and our bodies have proven for CENTURIES how they serve us. We need balance. We need grey. Looking for a super simple way to get refreshed this weekend? I love throwing together a simple tomato salad. It’s juicy and vibrant, and such an easy way to enjoy your vegetables. . . There are so many ways to make a simple tomato salad, and can easily be adjusted to your preferences. I usually follow the following structure: 🍅 Chopped Tomatoes 🍅 An Oil 🍅 An acid 🍅 Vinegar (or another acid) 🍅 An herb 🍅 A pinch of salt . . For this tomato salad I used: 🍅 Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes 🍅 EVOO 🍅 Lime juice 🍅 Cilantro 🍅 A pinch of salt OKAY so you’ve been growing the basic vegetables for awhile now and are getting kind of bored..... that’s why I put together this list unique vegetable seeds to grow in your garden!!! . . Goodbye basic tomatoes and HELLLOOOOO exciting new versions of some of your favorite vegetables. . . Check out the link in my bio!
