Words can’t describe how tasty these are. @ambitiouskitchen killed it with these Tahini Brownies. I added a light dusting of maca powder on top which added another earthy layer of flavor. Head to her site and make them immediately!! 🚨🍫🚨

Treat yourself like you’re someone you Love. ❤️ I was recently texting with a friend about the chilly weather. I mentioned that I’m not super in love with the cold temps (no surprise there). In response, this woman insinuated that she was fine with it because, “ I have lots of insulation :(“ • Let me just say, It would be one thing if she were only stating a fact. I’m sure I’ve acknowledged my sizable rear for functioning as a great “seat”. And that would be a true statement! I have extra, and that makes me comfortable on uncomfortable seating places. But in this small comment there was that sad face emoji, hanging heavy at the end of that sentence. • I let her know that She is beautiful, loved, and valued. These facts have nothing to do with the way her body looks. • This is far from being an isolated instance. I am a woman. I have women friends, family members, clients, and neighbors. • I REGULARLY hear about how this or that is too big or too small, too wrinkly or bumpy, too fleshy or too old looking. Oftentimes, I feel like this is some way that women have decided to bond and connect to one another. • You say “my hips are too wide” and then I say, “No, they are sexy! You should be glad you don’t have my gross thighs, ugh”. • Friends and followers, please know that I will not let negative commentary about how you look go unnoticed or unaddressed. Out of love and respect, I will encourage you to look at yourself with compassion and mindfulness. • I do my best to avoid participating in conversations about bodies in general. I have found that there are COUNTLESS other things to notice about a person besides their appearance. And if I genuinely like someone’s sweater or eyeshadow, sure, I’ll toss out a compliment. Compliments feel nice. But reinforcing the idea that your body is the most important thing about you is not nice at all. It’s downright destructive and completely sidelines us women from showing up in the world with our real, valuable gifts. • Continued in comments...

A Weekend Toast. 🍞 But seriously. Toast. This Toast. 🥑 I made it twice in a row cause it was so mind-blowingly delicious. 🍏 I know what you’re thinking… Yea, yea. Avocado toast. It’s tasty, but how great can it be? 🍋 Trust me. It’s great. 🥓 Also, I would encourage the fried prosciutto step. Don’t skip it. Prosciutto is always delicious, but the thing that bothers me about the “raw” presentation is that it doesn’t bite well. Instead of getting a bite of salty/sweet charcuterie, you end up taking the whole piece with you like some sort of botched tablecloth trick where it slides off the toast and takes all the toppings with it. Instead of a balanced bite of all the flavors, you’re chewing a wad of prosciutto and all you have left is a piece of toast and toppings scattered all over the place. #prosciuttowad 🍞 So yes, please fry the prosciutto like bacon until crispy (it takes no time at all… and no splattery mess! ) 🥑 Final note: for my grain free eaters, this would be great on a toasted sliced white sweet potato. Slice large hannah sweet potato thinly, length wise, and bake at 375 until toasty and soft, about 35 min. 🍋 Lemon Prosciutto Toast 2 sliced gluten free toast (i used @cooks_gluten_free sourdough) 1/2 large avocado, divided 2 pieces fried prosciutto 1/4 green apple, peeled and sliced thinly with mandolin or vegetable peeler 1/4 lemon, zested 1 green onion, sliced thin on a bias sea salt red pepper flakes 🥓 Toast and top!

Is is normal to have a cabbage craving? No? Ok cool. Just asking for a friend. • But seriously, I’ve been jones-ing for some tasty slaw the past week and a last minute cooking gig was just the thing to motivate me to get creative. • Orange Fennel Slaw 6 c. shredded cabbage (red and green) 1 fennel bulb, sliced thinly 3 green onions, sliced thinly handful of chopped parsley • Dressing 1 orange, zested and juiced 3 tbsp. mayonnaise 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 garlic clove, mined or pressed salt and pepper pinch of red pepper flakes • Combine dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add slaw ingredients and toss well. Let marinate for 20-30 mins before serving.
