Delicious veggies don’t need to be complicated.

Delicious veggies don’t need to be complicated. 🌱👌

𝑅𝑜𝒶𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝒸𝒶𝓊𝓁𝒾𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓇 is always a hit at our house. (Well at least as of last year, before that steamed was preferred by my kids). We have it weekly because it’s so easy & loved!

R O A S T E D cauliflower:

1 head cauliflower
~2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
(Herbs/Spices)

Directions:
Simply preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse and chop cauliflower. Place onto a rimmed baking sheet (lined with parchment for easier clean up if desired). Drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with salt & pepper. (Add other herbs/spices if desired...we often keep it minimal!) Toss and then roast in the oven for about 20 min or until starting to get golden, tossing a couple if times.

What is your favorite way to enjoy cauliflower?

Becoming free from the diet mindset takes time. As a dietitian, I was trained and wrapped up in diet culture for years and years before I discovered (and became more open-minded about) HAES & intuitive eating.
.
.
It’s hard because not only is diet culture all around us, it’s also sneaky. Whether it’s labeling foods as healthy or unhealthy, overthinking food choices, feeling like you should only eat the serving size listed on a package, or avoiding/limiting bread for “wellness”. Seriously, there are so many silly “rules” out there...some well-intentioned but harmful and others promoted by the diet industry and influencers based on the latest trends.
.
.
Enough already. Instead, eat foods and amounts that satisfy you. Sometimes this may be a colorful salad topped with grilled salmon and a side of baguette. Other times this may be a burger & fries. Other times it may be a tofu stir-fry.

Getting the week started with @sevensundaysmn mues

Getting the week started with @sevensundaysmn muesli. Soaked overnight in oat milk & topped with local berries and Skyr yogurt. 😋

Muesli is one of my go-to breakfasts. Packed with nourishing ingredients such as oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, it offers long lasting energy and supports gut health. Top it with Greek or Skyr yogurt and berries for extra protein, probiotics & antioxidants. 🌈

Thank you @sevensundaysmn for the samples! ❤️

Green smoothies.🌱Love them? Dislike them? Neutral?⁠ ⠀
⁠⠀
Personally, I love them every now and then, but most of the time I crave a wild blueberry or strawberry smoothie. I also love, love salads 🥗, so I know I'm getting plenty of greens in my diet. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My kids also prefer to eat their greens raw, but I know many parents find that adding some greens to their child's smoothie is a great way to get dark green leafy veggies such as spinach or kale into their diet. 🥬I used to do this more when my kids were younger. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Bottom line: Green smoothies are a great way to easily get some leafy greens and other nutrient-rich foods into your day. But so are salads and other veggie-loaded meals or snacks! Any way you do it is great, so don't feel like you have to drink a green smoothie. ⁠💗⠀

Being a parent is not easy, we are all just doing

Being a parent is not easy, we are all just doing our best with everything, including feeding our kids. Honestly, the dinner battle was one of the parts I struggled with most when my kids were younger. ⠀
⠀
What finally took (most!) of the stress out of it for me? Learning and embracing ✨the Division of Responsibility. ✨It was seriously life-changing, and aspects of it can be applied to kids of all ages--not just younger ones!⠀
⠀
Basically, this theory, developed by childhood feeding expert Ellyn Satter (whose books I highly recommend), says that parents are responsible for deciding what, when, and where a child should eat. The child is responsible for deciding whether or not to eat the food served and how much they eat.
⠀
It was realizing that we don't have control over whether our child even takes one bite of a food that really helped me. Sure we could gently encourage them to taste it or even just smell it or touch it, but that was it. I quickly realized that the more I backed off, the more likely my child was to taste and eat foods. ⠀
⠀
It was also helpful to know statements such as "just one more bite" or "finish your broccoli" or "only 1 cookie" generally do more harm than good. (Especially when it comes to our child's relationship with food). If I was offering cookies it was up to them to decide how many to eat, unless of course there was a limited number available per person.
⠀
Obviously, once your kids are tweens and teenagers they will have more independence with snacks and even some meals. At these ages, they are probably the ones picking out their own snacks and even deciding when snack time is, but since you are still in charge of stocking the snacks, you do have some control there. You also still have control of where you would like them to eat their snack (e.g., perhaps not in their bedroom or in front of a screen). And, you still have control of the what and when for the meals and snacks that you serve.

Vanilla Oat Scones💫

Alrighty, so these look like cookies but they are actually scones. Light and fluffy, these melt in your mouth scones are made with oat flour making them a little extra fragile, but also extra tender. Additional ingredients include vanilla yogurt, butter, chia seeds, oats, and sugar. ❤️

This recipe is a reader favorite on my blog and today I have updated my post with fresh photos. Check it out (link in bio) and 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 ⬇️.

Have a great Friday! 😁
