Sweet potatoes but make them smarter 🍠✨
Maple Dijon roasted sweet potatoes = my favorite carb and a quiet overachiever in the longevity department.
Cozy, caramelized, and doing more for your body than most “superfoods.”
Why I love them:
• Rich in beta-carotene → supports skin, immunity, and cellular repair
• Packed with potassium + magnesium → nervous system + muscle support
• Naturally anti-inflammatory + blood-sugar friendly when prepared right
❤️🔥 Hot tip (don’t skip this):
Roast them today, chill them overnight, eat them tomorrow.
That cooling step turns them into a resistant starch →
✔️ feeds good gut bacteria
✔️ improves insulin sensitivity
✔️ supports metabolic + gut health
Same sweet potato.
Next-level benefits.
This is how we upgrade carbs for longevity. Save this one. ✨

Whose hungry? Make this your next meal.
Pan-Seared Salmon
Simple. Perfect. Every time.
Ingredients
1 salmon fillet
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon onion granules
½ teaspoon garlic granules
½ teaspoon Old Bay
1 teaspoon olive oil
Mix all dry seasonings together in a small bowl.
Method
Pat the salmon completely dry with paper towel. Moisture is the enemy of a good sear.
Season evenly on all sides with the spice mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add olive oil and allow it to warm — not smoke.
Place salmon skin-side down first. Do not move it.
Cook 5–7 minutes, depending on thickness, until you see the white protein (albumin) begin to appear along the sides.
Flip gently and cook an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from pan and rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Chef Notes
• Medium-low heat is key. High heat will push out too much albumin and dry the fish.
• If the salmon sticks, it’s not ready to flip. Let it release naturally.
• For extra luxury, finish with a squeeze of lemon or a small pat of butter at the end.
• For a crisper crust, start skin-side down and pres lightly with a spatula for the first 30 seconds.

My super seedy crackers I make all of the time for my celebrity clients. They are so easy and full of fiber, healthy fats & protein! #chefbae
RECIPE👇🏼
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup + 2T sunflower seeds
1/4 cup + 2T pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of sesame seeds
1/2 cup of ground flaxseed
1/2 cup of whole flaxseed
1 teaspoon of salt
1 1/4 cup of lukewarm water
1/2-1 tsp of each seasoning (I used onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt and black pepper)
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 200°F.
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper.
Spread the mixture out evenly on the sheet pan.
Bake for 2 hours, or until the cracker mixture feels dry. Depending on the humidity in the air, the crackers might need an additional 30 minutes.
Once out of the oven, let cool completely and then let your client’s children help you break apart the crackers (free labor). If the crackers don’t seem completely dry and crispy, bake for another 10-15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
