I’m going to fuel my body like I’ve learned how to but also enjoy dishes that I only make this time of year! Mindful eating

@Jared Nosal I wish I could be there so much!

My dad went to culinary school and my mom’s family had a small catering company when I was growing up through both I learned A LOT about the art of cooking! BUT (and a big but here) I didn’t learn the healthiness and the need for a balanced diet until in my late 20s early 30s when I got pregnant and wanted to ensure I developed better habits. I found comfort in “bad” foods and I use quotes here bc I don’t think at this point in my life anything is bad in moderation however it’s very hard to moderate when you have an unhealthy relationship. We have talked a lot about the mindshift change and that’s exactly what had to happen for me to change my mindset about food! When I first started to drink coffee I wanted the sweetest frappachino that I could get my hands on then it fizzled to iced coffee etc. now I’m drinking black coffee most of the time with collagen but I needed that frap then now I enjoy the simplicity but also enjoy the flavors of the food! Learning to love every version of me!

I’m grateful to have access to fresh food! I am lucky to be able to walk in and buy pretty much anything I want to help my healthy habit building

I think I have to go with my great grandmas yeast rolls with homemade butter and jam!
