I’m back!
It’s been a few weeks, and I’ve fallen off the wagon (again, big surprise!) but here I am, worming my way back to feeling less like shit- or at least that’s the goal.
I have been eating pretty well. It hasn’t been all fried chicken and fast food - there has been a lot of bubble tea though. That’s my weakness right now, bubble tea .
I’ve been packing lunches that have been healthy, lots of veggies and hummus, but now I’m going to put my attention back into this blog.
Today I’m boiling a chicken carcass to make chicken soup for the week. I have a vegetable mix that I’m going to add, if I remember I will take more progress photos.
Everyday breakfast bowl! Recipe below!
Naturally gluten free, a great source of protein, minerals, iron and fats!
Did you know that steel cut oats, peanut butter and maple syrup is something we eat regularly for breakfast because of all the benifits it gives us. Oats are perfect as a boost of complex carbohydrates, has roughly 10g of protein and provide 10% of your iron intake per serving! This macronutrient serves as your main source of energy which is why carbohydrates such as oats, are a beneficial component to your diet! .
I always eat mine with a generous spoonful of peanut butter which is loaded with antioxidant vitamin E, bone-building magnesium, and muscle-friendly potassium, and vitamin B6! Drizzle it all with maple syrup, and all its minerals ( zinc, potassium, manganese, thiamine, calcium, iron, magnesium, and riboflavin) you have got yourself an pretty nurishing breakfast!
Nurish yourself, because your worth it! For more easy plant based recipes go to https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCUv35AnUJ/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1lvmt9uyvpz2
Recipe: serves 4
-1 cup dry steel cut oats
-3 ½ cups water
-Pinch of salt
-½ tsp cinnamon
-1tsp vanilla
1a. Place all your ingredients in your innstant pot, stir close the lid and cook under porridge setting.
1b. If using stovetop add all your ingredients to a medium pot. Bring to a bowl then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until oats are soft.
2. Spoon into bowls then top with your favorite fruit. Here I used bananas which I lightly pan fried in some vegan butter, frozen blueberries and blood oranges.
3. Top with a generous spoonful of peanut butter and pure maple syrup!
I’m posting way too much today but does anyone have a recipe that involves beans they’d like to share? My doctor has told me I should make beans an essential part of my diet but it’s getting a bit bland.
I’ve of course already looked up recipes on the internet but I feel like I’m missing out on some yummy local stuff that isn’t super widespread. Like I know for a fact South American cuisine use beans a lot but the recipes that end up on the internet are pretty limited.
My grandmother sent me an article about a gravestone in Brooklyn that features the deceased’s cookie recipe. I love this, I love the idea that after her death she can still offer up just one more thing to make people smile, one last good deed
But THEN I found saw at the bottom of the article that she’s not alone!
There’s a fudge recipe from Utah!
And a nut roll from Israel!
I love this. I love this gesture from beyond the grave, a covenant between the past and the future. They say “I’ve left you something to bring you joy”, and we say “I will remember you and your love”
I want to make these so bad now. I’m so full of love for these ladies
I want to make these

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
