POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

went through a phase where I stopped buying berries and fresh herbs because they would spoil before I even had a chance to use them up.

Then I learned this simple trick, and now I use it for almost all my produce! My fruits, veggies, and even herbs can last around 2 weeks in the fridge!

I also chop up some of my produce ahead of time and store it the same way to keep it fresh and ready to use. It’s been such a game-changer for making meal prep easier!

Rainy day activity

Here’s a good example of my 80/20 rule when it comes to being healthy. These are regular cookies with sugar and flour, but I made sure to use dye-free food coloring.

Homemade sourdough pitas!

Took a few tries to nail it, but I finally perfected the method! It’s definitely not as hard as it seems to make and so much tastier than store bought pitas. Once you try this you can never go back to the packaged ones.

Completely sold out of all the breads I made this week! Thank you everyone who bought! This weeks flavors were olive, sun-dried tomato with roasted garlic and regular loaves. Tell me, which flavor do you want to try?

GRILLED NECTARINE SUMMER SALAD ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This has got to be the most perfect summer salad! Grilling the nectarines brings out the best flavor that goes so well with the avocado and feta in the salad.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I actually grilled the nectarine in my panini maker. It took about 20 second on the medium setting to get those nice grill marks. I then added it to a bowl with spring mix, red onions, avocado, feta, and chopped pecans. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I paired the salad with a balsamic vinaigrette ⁣⁣
3 Tbsp olive oil⁣⁣
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar ⁣⁣
1 Tbsp mustard ⁣⁣
1 Tbsp honey⁣⁣
1 garlic clove, minced ⁣⁣
Salt and pepper to taste ⁣⁣

NO BAKE CHEESECAKE ⁣
⁣
These guilt-free cheesecakes are a real crowd pleaser. I made them on a demo with a group of girls today and everyone loved them! They are quick, easy and fun to make. ⁣
⁣
This versatile cheesecake can be made in individual cups with various toppings (think Oreos, chocolate, or caramel) or as one big cheesecake in a pie dish. Try it and let me know how you like it! ⁣
⁣
For the crust:⁣
3/4 cup walnuts⁣
1/2 cup almond flour⁣
3 Tbsp coconut sugar⁣
1 tsp cinnamon ⁣
Pinch of salt ⁣
3 Tbsp melted coconut oil⁣
⁣
For the cheesecake:⁣
8 oz brick of cream cheese⁣
2 greek yogurts ⁣(I love the @bethelcreamery one)
1/4 cup honey⁣
1/4 cup coconut sugar ⁣
1 tsp pure vanilla extract ⁣
⁣
Berries of choice for toppings ⁣
⁣
For the crust:⁣
In a small food processor or blender, blend the walnuts, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt to form a crumb mixture. Then stir in the coconut oil into the mixture.
⁣
Gor the cheesecake:⁣
In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, yogurt, honey, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. ⁣
⁣
Layering the cheesecake:⁣
Pour a heaping tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each mason jar. With a small shot glass, or you finger, press the mixture down into the cup. Then spoon the cheesecake batter on top until the cups are filled about halfway. Place some berries of choice. Then fill the rest of the cups with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the extra crumbs or berries on top. Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days. ⁣ by @estherbegun

Give me a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you ever had that annoying bloated belly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Bloated bellies are linked to many different causes that are often unique to every individual. Today I’m here to give you one general tip that is completely underestimated, yet so powerful to combat that bloat! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Ready for it?⁣⁣
💥CHEW. YOUR. FOOD.💥⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And I don’t mean that regular chew and swallow that you are used to. I mean taking the time to slowly and mindfully chew your food. Here’s why it helps. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
REDUCES AIR ⁣⁣
One of the main causes of bloated bellies are excess gas in the abdomen. When you chew slowly you are releasing most of this air that you, otherwise, would have swallowed. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
EAT SLOWER ⁣⁣
When a person overeats they feel stuffed and bloated after the meal. However, chewing your food slowly and mindfully will force you to eat slower and smaller portion sizes. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
FOOD GETS BROKEN DOWN⁣⁣
When we properly chew our food, our saliva releases the first digestive enzyme that helps to break down the food. This means the food gets sent to our stomach partially digested and the stomach has an easier time doing its job which helps to decrease the belly bloat. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There are many more dietary and lifestyle changes that can decrease bloating. These often need to be customized based on the individual's circumstances. Feel free to DM me with your questions and I would be happy to help when I can ❤️⁣⁣ by @estherbegun

BREAKFAST COOKIES⁣
⁣
Hands down the best breakfast cookies I have ever eaten. These cookies are a combination of banana bread and oatmeal cookies and taste AMAZING! They are so full of protein and can be eaten for breakfast or as a filling snack. ⁣
⁣
INGREDIENTS ⁣
2 medium bananas, mashed ⁣
1/2 cup almond butter⁣
1/4 cup almond milk⁣
1 tsp vanilla extract ⁣
1 cup almond flour⁣
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats⁣
1 tsp baking soda⁣
1 tsp cinnamon ⁣
1/2 cup chocolate chips⁣
1/4 cup shredded coconut ⁣
⁣
DIRECTIONS ⁣
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium size bowl mix the banana, almond butter, milk, and vanilla together. Then add the almond flour, oats, baking soda, and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and shredded coconut. Then scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The dough will be sticky, so use an ice scream scooper and just drop the dough onto the pan and bake for about 15 minutes. ⁣

I’ve been wanting to experiment with sourdough bread for quite sometime now. Today I took the leap and made these sourdough bagels! They are perfectly moist on the inside and chewy on the outside. I don’t think I can ever buy traditional bagels again! ⁣
