Everyday Eats {August 2023}

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

We were out of town visiting family in Iowa last week. It was nice to have a break from our normal routines!

We enjoyed the scenery, going on walks, time with family, the Iowa corn 🙂 , and the chance to just relax more without having to think about the regular to-dos/stressors of life.

And, of course, some delicious eats! (some of which will be featured below!)

As we continue on into August, I’m hoping to take advantage of all the amazing fresh produce in-season for the next month. Hello fresh peaches, tomatoes, and corn!

What are you hoping to make before summer is over? I’m dreaming up a burrata salad w/ fresh tomatoes, a chicken dishes w/ fresh peaches, & quite possibly some fruit crisp!

Plenty of delicious seasonal summer eats from the past month!

Everyday Eats {July 2023}

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful 4th / possible long weekend! I have been off work the past few days and have been enjoying the extra time with a mix of relaxing / getting random other things done.

In full disclosure I completely wrote and scheduled this post in advance / before my time off so I can’t comment too much on how the weekend went at the time of writing! 🙂  Will be back to my regular work week tomorrow (Thursday).

Whether you are enjoying some extra vacation time this week or have more of a typical week, I hope this July Eats Roundup post inspires you to seek out satisfying, tasty eating experiences all throughout the week!

Some recent meals + snacks from the past couple of weeks!

Intuitive Eating Behind the Scenes {Typical Day}

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to post a new type of post sharing some “behind the scenes” as far as what thoughts/considerations might go into a typical day of my daily eats. This is NOT meant to be a comparison or a “you should eat like me” type of post —  HECK NO. More meant to encourage you as far as what it might look like to have a normal relationship with food!

Everyone’s nutrition needs and food preferences are different. In my work with clients, I consider myself to be the nutrition professional and the client to be the expert on herself/her goals/what she likes/what might work best for her. Not everyone’s eating looks the same, so no cookie cutter approaches here! I am all about helping others work towards an intuitive eating way of eating where you grow in listening to your body’s inner signals, considering your thoughts/feelings about food, and trusting your overall intuition, as we are born knowing how to intuitively eat. I hope these types of posts help you grow in your own journey of peace with food and joyful nourishment of your body!

Happy Wednesday! We’ve made it to the middle of the work week!

Last week felt like the LONGEST week to me, even with the extra day off! Hopefully this week finishes out more smoothly / less exhausting. I also have been sleeping terribly which never helps anything! The perpetual challenge of sleeping on the top floor of a 3-story townhouse…  my weeks have felt so thrown off and less than optimal with all that!

In FUN news, Alec and I went kayaking down the Huron River over the weekend. Such a perfect day to be on the water!

We also got breakfast at Stray Hen, a newish breakfast/lunch restaurant in Ann Arbor near campus. (more…)

Everyday Eats 5.24.23

Hello everyone! How is your May going? I can’t believe it is almost Memorial Weekend!

Aside from usual work routines, I have been getting outside on walks/runs/hikes whenever I can, spending time with friends + family, and, of course, having fun baking + cooking in the kitchen!

I hope these recent eats posts inspire you to regularly enjoy creative, satisfying, flavorful food as often as possible. In my opinion, nutritious, well-balanced eating is full of foods from all food groups, from veggie-heavy salads to chocolate frosted cupcakes! Nutrition & enjoyment for a truly healthy, freeing, sustainable approach.

Onto recent eats from the past couple of weeks!

Everyday Eats 5.10.23

Hello everyone! How is your week going so far? It has been a weird few weeks over here. We ended up getting a terrible stomach/flu sickness (or we suspect food poisoning??) that pretty much knocked us out for the end of April. So we have been catching up from that and are finally getting back into more regular rhythms. It was one of the sickest experiences I have ever had. Not fun!!

Hopefully your start to spring has been going more smoothly than that and you are getting out to enjoy the nicer weather!

Some unusual eats from the past few weeks!

Happy Wednesday!

We are already midway through the week. I’m looking forward to the upcoming weekend with Good Friday and Easter. Also the weather forecast here in Michigan looks amazing! (Highs in the 50s/60s and sunny!) Hoping to spend some additional time outside.

In case you haven’t heard, I am starting a disordered eating-focused Bible study coming up on April 11th! Contact me if interested. Anyone is welcome!

Lettuce get to discussing the start of spring’s recent eats!

Hello everyone!

How is your week going? I’ve been enjoying seeing the sun a little more lately! Cloudy day after cloudy day really starts to wear on me.

Over the weekend I spoke at an event with Michigan Cru on disordered eating and body image, got coffee with a friend at a favorite cafe in Ann Arbor, and did some household work/chores. We also have been watching some March Madness here and there. My championship pick (Texas) remains alive!

I’m certainly looking forward to spring with hopefully some warmer weather, time outside, and all the fresh spring produce.

Some recent eats for inspiration!

Hi everyone!

How is your week going so far? Thankfully it is almost spring!!

We missed out on all the snow in Michigan over the weekend as we were at my cousin’s wedding in Georgia. The sunny and 60-degree weather on Saturday was fantastic!

We enjoyed a long walk in the sun on Saturday morning and also enjoyed the time at the wedding. Some of the best wedding food I have had!

Let’s get to some recent eats!
