Somehow the coziest and most comforting meals are the ones that are imperfectly perfect 🌿 I’m still in a state of transition as I finish off my second week of my new position as a public health nurse for the health department, but there’s something so comforting about coming home and preparing my food even though I’m trying to process as much new information as I possibly can. Somehow it’s the meals that are so basic, not super pretty, but so wholesome that are the most grounding. 🌿🥑🍞 Absolutely no complaints about that! 🍂

Anyone else go to bed with breakfast on the mind? When I said I love breakfast food I ~really~ meant it🥳🥳 This was a bowl of porridge from a while back that I realized I never shared, but I certainly remember that it was so so dreamy ☁️☁️ I used plain açaí powder from @navitasorganics to make açaí porridge oats topped with blueberries, sliced banana, coconut chips, and a spoon of coconut cream that just melts on top. This ish was DECADENT. As breakfast should be.👏🏻🍌🥥 . Have a happy Monday evening and I hope you’ll be dreaming up all the porridge flavors just like I’ll be doing 😴😴 Inspire me with your favorites in the comments!👇🏻

Breakfast food is my absolute favorite (I’ll happily eat it at any hour of the day!) so when the weekend comes around I look forward to a breakfast that’s more of a treat - which is either a healthier pancake or waffle in my book.📖 🥞 . There’s something about enjoying a Saturday or Sunday morning taking the time to wake up slowly with a coffee or tea in hand and making a special breakfast. Whether it’s for yourself, you & a partner, or for your family - it’s a total moment of bliss and gratitude.☕️ . If you want in on this goodness pictured above, just use the link in my bio to get the recipe for these Blueberry Coconut Flour Pancakes🥞 Feel free to leave the blueberries out or sub chocolate chips😉Happy Saturday!

Nothing like a big bowl of noodles to end the day, right? 🍝🌿Anytime I let Matthew decide what’s for dinner, he‘ll say these saucy sesame noodles or my zucchini enchiladas, so you can imagine we eat these A LOT!🥡 . They also make a ton of #leftovers, which makes for a perfect work lunch the next day. It’s my first week starting my new job (I’ll share a little more about it later!) but it’s been such a great start and I can’t wait for the work I’ll be doing. Somehow the stars aligned.🙏 . If you’re interested in these Asian inspired noodles, check out my stories where I show you how to make them + the full recipe is on my website! Just search for Saucy Sesame Noodles👌🏻✨🌿🥕

Good morning, Sunday 🌞 NEW recipe for these Mini Hazelnut Sponge Cakes Made Healthy are now yours to whip up in your own kitchen! You can definitely make these into cupcakes or a cake as well (details are in the post) but in any shape or form these are so incredibly delicious - it reminds me of a decadent French muffin while being healthy enough for breakfast (swoon, right?). These are also extra dreamy with a hot coffee or tea on the side✨☕️ Link in bio for the full run down!

Saturdays are for carrot cake oats 🥕🍯 in my opinion at least! I posted this recipe about a year ago and I’m bringing it back in full swing because carrot cake (obvi) and you won’t even realize it’s healthy 🤷‍♀️ another win-win situation. Link in bio for the recipe! Happy Saturday ☕️

It’s that time of the year again - I’m holding on to summer but I’m also ready for allll things fall - can anyone else relate?! I’m currently living in between, especially with this breakfast 🌿🥝☕️ if you watched my stories, you saw some behind the scenes of me re-testing these mini gf hazelnut loaves inspired by my great grandmas recipe... and we have a winner! I’m excited to share this recipe with you this weekend✨ . If you’re interested in what my thought process was in re-testing, here’s a taste: I want these recipes to be easy, fuss-free, and be enjoyed on a regular basis (rather than just a special occasion treat). So I made two changes. I took out a time consuming step of whipping the egg whites separately, which is usually needed to make a spongey cake, and tried the recipe without this extra step. As for the sugar content, I cut the sugar amount in half and was so surprised with how the sweetness really still came through. For the rest of the story/deets, stay tuned for the recipe this weekend🤗🌿☕️ happy Friday!

Happy Wednesday! I‘ve been trying to post more on stories about my food prep because I often say how cooking our own food can be one of the easiest, if not THE easiest and most affordable way to maintain or achieve health. Regardless of which diet you follow, simply by cooking your own food you can already drastically lower the consumption of high amounts of sodium, sugar, synthetic ingredients, etc. found in pre-made foods that can lead to lifestyle diseases when consumed in excess (like heart disease and type 2 diabetes). 🙅‍♀️ . Since I learned to cook simply from looking at others do it, I figured I’d be able to show you what I’ve learned about cooking for good health with the hope that you can take something away from it yourself - and find use in your own kitchen! Feedback is always welcome (and helpful!)🌿🤗

Happy Labor Day weekend! When life gives you ripe bananas, you naturally turn them into banana bread - but not just any kind - the @lauraleabalanced cinnamon roll banana bread kind 🙌🏻 Instead of making one big loaf, I made a bunch of mini loafs to take with us to Olympic national park for the weekend to snack on 🥰 The base flour is oat flour, which gives these babies a healthy dose of fiber to keep us full and satisfied. Highly recommend making these to keep you fueled for your weekend activities! Recipe can be found at llbalanced.com🍌🍌
