If you’re competitive like me, it can be helpful If you’re competitive like me, it can be helpful to have a way of gamify-ing your health goals. I’ve been using the Oura Ring for the past year and am loving the insights I glean from wearing it. 

It measures my sleep, heart rate, activity and temperature with personalized insights. I love seeing how my heart rate variability (a marker of stress) increases with more yoga, meditation, laughter, and time spent in nature. And little tweaks I make to my evening routine, like not eating 2 hours before bed, avoiding alcohol, and an evening shower, have helped improve my sleep. 

It also sensed my increased breathing rate and temperature before I came down with covid.

I’m a huge fan and happy to extend a discount code to a limited number of friends & family for $50 off. See the link in bio 👆.

Shrub mocktails are my new obsession!! I love th Shrub mocktails are my new obsession!! 

I love the ritual of ending the day with a special drink but I’ve cut back on my alcohol consumption, because it just slows me down and doesn’t feel worth it - definitely not on a daily basis.

Shrubs are made from fruit, sugar and vinegar. I used just a tablespoon of this lime mint shrub in glass of sparkling water and it is so refreshing! The vinegar makes it feel so different than a La Croix or typical sparkling drink. Try it!!

It’s virtually impossible to do all the things. It’s virtually impossible to do all the things.

- Be a parent who’s present and calm
- Work full time
- Be a thoughtful, loving spouse
- Keep the home presentable
- Plan birthday parties, holidays, vacations
- Cook healthy meals, workout and meditate
- Every. Single. Day.

I would be lost without a meal delivery service and luckily there are plenty to choose from! I’ve been using Daily Harvest for the past 6 months for backup lunches (and sometimes dinner) for myself. 

I love their bowls which are plant-based and loaded with veggies that I don’t have time to buy, chop or cook. They come frozen and heat up in 4-5 mins in the microwave. I get deliveries only every 3 weeks to make it more affordable. 

I do wish they had a bit more protein, so I will sometimes heat the bowls in bone broth instead of water, sprinkle with hemp seeds, or add a hard boiled egg for a protein boost. 

We both get $25 off when you use the code RE-382ET7R

Really feeling the soups these days! This Hungaria Really feeling the soups these days! This Hungarian goulash recipe has been in my family for generations. Like that scene in the movie Ratatoullie, it transports me back to my comfort place every time I eat it. It’s more of a soup than traditional goulash and is made with chicken - though you can easily swap in beef or pork.

Chicken Goulash Soup

2 white onions, diced
3 lbs skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
6 cup chicken broth
4 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt (or more to taste)
2 Tbsp olive oil
Optional: 1/4 tsp hot Hungarian paprika or cayenne pepper

Heat large soup pot to medium. Add olive oil, add chicken and 2 big pinches of salt, sauté chicken until just lightly brown (doesn’t have to be cooked through). Set chicken and juices aside in a large bowl. 

Return pan to heat. Add olive oil, sauté onions until translucent (about 5 mins). Add paprika, stir and sauté 1-2 mins. 

Return chicken to pot. Add chicken broth. Cover and simmer 30 mins.

Add potatoes, simmer 30 mins. 

Taste, season as needed, enjoy.

28 degrees and snow calls for major comfort food! 28 degrees and snow calls for major comfort food! I got a chili craving but did not plan ahead. Luckily it’s a forgiving dish and turned out amazing. Here’s how I made it:

1 white onion, diced 
1 lb grass fed ground beef (I use Butcher Box)
1/4 c flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill GF flour)
2 Tbsp chili seasoning 
Salt to taste (I added about 2 tsp)
1 can kidney beans
1 can fire roasted tomatoes 
1 can crushed tomatoes 
2 cups chicken or beef broth
Optional: cayenne pepper

Sauté the onion in olive or avocado oil for about 5 mins. Add ground beef, sauté until browned. Add seasoning and flour, stir until dissolved. Add all other ingredients and simmer about 10 mins. Taste and adjust seasoning. I topped my bowl with a little extra cayenne and it was 💯.

My favorite easy food hack - supplement your salad My favorite easy food hack - supplement your salad greens with some coleslaw mix! You’ll get a quick serving of cruciferous vegetables (like cabbage!) that provide the raw materials your gut and liver need to do detoxification. 

Many women have estrogen dominance (bloating, mood swings, headaches, irregular periods, etc), and adding 1-3 servings of cruciferous veggies  per day can help you eliminate these excess estrogens. #detox #sulforaphane
