Ready for some Whole30 Magic? This sweet, luscious

FULL recipe below 👇🏼 These flavorful and veg

FULL recipe below 👇🏼 These flavorful and veggie loaded meatballs are infused with so much flavor and nutrients, and that’s even before they hit the delicious @yaisthai Red Curry! #ad

I love to make the meatballs ahead of time, and then quickly defrost, simmer in the @yaisthai curry to warm through and serve over carrot ‘noodles.’

The @yaisthai Red Curry is the next best thing to having a Yai (Thai grandmother) making us food from scratch, but with this sauce it’s essentially all that love and flavor simmered into a convenient jar!

The red curry is spicy, but the meatballs are mild and full of flavor. You can make one meal to satisfy both kids and adults. The kids will love the meatballs, and the parents will love having something delicious to mix up the mid month Whole30 palette.

Ingredients:

1 jar @yaisthai Red Curry
½ pound carrots, noodles (made with a peeler, or shredded in a food processor)
3 cups spinach

Meatballs:
2 pounds ground beef (90/10 or 85/15 is best!)
½ cup white mushrooms, finely chopped
2 eggs, whisked
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
1 cup carrots, shredded
½ tsp lime zest
1 lime, juiced
3 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tsp fish sauce
1 inch fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp mushroom umami powder (optional, but delicious)
1 tsp cumin
¼ cup finely chopped basil
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Garnishes
½ lime cut into wedges (optional)
1-2 tbsp fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, mint, torn or chopped (optional)
1-2 tbsp crushed cashews for crunch (optional)

Who else is a sweet and savory lover? Make this 3

Who else is a sweet and savory lover? Make this 3 ingredient topping to elevate your Whole30 burger!
.
Caramelized shallots + @caprunes + a pinch of fresh thyme to create an unreal sweet, savory, jammy concoction that is so easy and delicious!
.
All you have to do is slice shallots, sautée in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil until they are translucent- 7 ish minutes. Add very finely chopped @caprunes, and a little extra olive oil. Reduce heat to low, and stir every few minutes for about 15-20 minutes until it’s all jammy, sticky and smells like heaven. Influenced by @nocrumbsleft recently and had to share! #whole30#whole30recipes #whole30burger #burgersofinstagram #prunes #caprunes

Creamy chicken sheet pan bowl basic concept: throw

Creamy chicken sheet pan bowl basic concept: throw your chicken thighs into a olive oil, red wine vinegar and Italian seasoning marinade in the morning..
.
Pat dry and pop those babies into a 375-400 degree oven with onion or fennel for 20 minutes, flip.
.
At this point I stick in whatever olives, artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, tomatoes, and go about 15-20.
.
Chicken THIGHS thrive being cooked until 190 internal temperature. Trust. Melty, tender, succulent.
.
Open the oven, stick the chopped vegan feta chunks on and let melt for a moment. Then remove, let rest a few and then chop it up, add it to a bowl with whatever carby base - whatever green veggies - whatever fresh pop - some @nocrumbsleft marinated onions are always the right addition - herbs- and you have a low fuss, delicious, juicy Whole30 meal using what you had and getting what you wanted.
.
Specifically what I have here: fennel, chicken, artichoke hearts, black olives, cherry tomatoes, df feta from trader Joe’s, pomegranate seeds, garlic sauce, marinated onions via @nocrumbsleft #whole30 #whole30recipes #whole30challenge #whole30dinner #sheetpandinner #glutenfreedairyfree #januarywhole30 #chickenthighs #fridgeforaging

everything bagel salmon schmear + breakfast sandwi

everything bagel salmon schmear + breakfast sandwich, recipe below!

Growing up Jewish in Los Angeles meant a LOT of bagels, shmear, and lox. This recipe is everything I missed, but Whole30. Sometimes you’re just sick to death of eggs, and need a savory breakfast (top leftover latkes!!) or wonderful appetizer that’ll please the masses. THIS, my friends is that thing.

A wonderful quick Whole30 weekday breakfast would be some sweet potatoasts (toasted Japanese sweet potato planks) with a healthy serving of this spread over top, thick slices of tomatoes…and hell, you could even add some avocado too. Sub this for a flavorful and protein rich swap to the overdone ‘avocado toast’

Servings: 3

Ingredients:

½ cup dairy free, Whole 30 compatible dairy free cream cheese (kite hill is Whole30 approved)

4 ounces sugar free smoked salmon, chopped well**

1 cup English or Persian cucumber, seeded and diced small

2 tbsp red onion, diced small

¾ tsp bagel seasoning

2-3 tsp dill, chopped

generous squeeze of lemon

Instructions: Mix it all together in a bowl until well combined. Top with a little extra dill, lemon juice or everything bagel seasoning blend to your tastes.

For dipping / spreading:

Whole30 accompaniments: Any vegetables raw or blanched that you have. My favorites were spreading the dip on a cucumber coin, dipping a carrot stick in, using a bell pepper, endive or cherry tomato to scoop the dip up.

A Whole30 staple for sammies and toasts, are you m

A Whole30 staple for sammies and toasts, are you making some? Tips below:
.
Japanese and Hannah sweet potatoes make the best ones - they are drier, more like a russet and sweet potato cross.
.
High heat, less time! 475-495 for 8-12 minutes depending on how thick you made them, flipping mid way.
.
Slice as thin and evenly as possible.
.
Remove them from sheet pan asap so they don’t overcook.
.
Batch cook a few potatoes and store in a glass@container with paper towels.
.
Reheat in the toaster or airfryer!

Want to watch dinner unfold? I had halibut defrosted and went with it. No recipe. No plan. Just a little inspiration came from using what I had. It’s fridge foraging, baby! Used the jicama shells. #fishtacos #whole30recipes #whole30 #ww #fridgeforaging #cookingwithkids

Coming back to life wasn’t easy. 10 years ago

Coming back to life wasn’t easy.

10 years ago in those first photos I felt scared, depressed, and undeserving of happiness. I didn’t believe I deserved ‘wellness’ and even just the word made me roll my eyes.

I slowly clawed myself back from a life of party-going, cigarette- smoking, and gym avoiding. The life I gained is possible for any person watching this.

If you’re reading this and feel unhappy, please know it’s not too late for you. You can change it right now. Especially if you constantly show up for others and ‘cannot’ make this commitment to yourself. Parents, caregivers, nurses, teachers…I’m talking to you.

You deserve to feel great, have energy to show up in this beautiful and exhausting world, and face challenges with gusto. Changing my life was the first step, and now I’ve held 1000+ clients near as they changed their lives.

When will you show up for yourself? Everything you deserve is yours when you’re ready to claim it. I did it on my own over many years, but the magic is…you don’t have to. If you’re ready, say the word. Let’s do this. #whole30challenge #whole30recipes #whole30 #colorFULLife #wwcommunity #showupforyourself #comebackstronger #changeyourlife #burnout #itstartswithfood #holdtight #launch

Try this ‘Curry in a Hurry’ (recipe below) wit

Try this ‘Curry in a Hurry’ (recipe below) with CRISPY skin-on chicken thighs + all the mustgo veggies from the crisper made magical thanks to @yaisthai Prik Khing Curry.
.
Whole30 final stretch means minimizing effort and amplifying flavor - you have to try this curry. It’s everything you want takeout to be but Whole30 compatible.
.
Save money, food and time by making this and enjoying your leftovers too! #yaisthai #AD #Whole30recipes #whole30 #fridgeforaging #septemberwhole30

1 jar Yai’s Thai Prik Khing Curry
1-2 tbsp avocado oil, divided as needed
1 pound chicken thighs - bone in or boneless, cut into bite sized pieces
2 cups of green beans, ends snapped off and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
½ sweet onion, cut into ½ inch strips
1 cup purple cabbage, cut into 1 inch pieces
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
½ lime cut into wedges (optional)
1-2 tbsp fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, mint, torn or chopped (optional)
1-2 tbsp crushed cashews for crunch (optional)

Step 1: Cut the protein and vegetables you have on hand in similarly sized pieces. If you’re cooking the protein from raw, start cooking the protein in your preferred method.* For this recipe I used the air fryer, and simply tossed the raw skin-on chicken thighs in 2 tsp avocado oil, salt and pepper at 380 degrees for 18 minutes, shaking mid way through.

Step 2: Preheat your skillet to medium. Add 1-2 tsp of avocado oil, and add the onion. Saute until translucent, push to the side and add in the green beans. Once they’ve gotten some color and softened a bit, push to the side and add the bell pepper and cabbage. Saute all the vegetables together for 3-4 minutes, adding oil as needed. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Reduce the skillet heat to low, add in the entire jar of @yaisthai Prik Khing Curry. Add a tbsp of water to the mostly empty jar and shake well to get all the flavor into the skillet. Add the completely cooked and crispy air fried chicken to the skillet with the curry and the vegetables.

Step 4: Serve the curry as is, or take it a little further with the additional of fresh herbs, nuts, seeds, hot sauce, fresh lime juice. ❤️✌️
