I've been prioritizing blood sugar balance and one thing that's made a big difference is starting my meals with a big salad, or making salad at least half my plate, like dinner tonight with air fried tofu. Eating the greens first is one of the best things you can do for blood sugar stability. The general guidance is to eat carbs last, though I'll be honest, when I'm having rice with lentils it gets a little tricky to separate the two! One more habit I've been consistent with: a 10-minute walk after most meals, even if that just means walking in place at home. Do you follow any of these? Drop a comment and let me know if you'd like to learn more about the science behind it.

I’m finding myself more and more interested in plant-based eating. It feels like more than just a diet — more like a conscious decision or discipline. 👉 What made you decide to go plant-based? I'm genuinely interested.

The weather has been so much nicer lately and I have genuinely been outside more than I have in months. Walking with my husband, getting fresh air, just moving my body without it feeling like a workout, and honestly my mood has been completely different because of it. There's something about this time of year where everything just feels a little more possible. Like winter had us all a little cooped up and now we're collectively coming back to life. So I wanted to check in with you all. Are you feeling that shift too? Are you getting outside more, moving your body in ways that feel good, noticing a difference in your energy or your mood? Drop it in the comments and tell me what's been making you feel good lately, whether it's a daily walk, time in the garden, morning coffee on the porch, anything counts. 🌱 Let's hear it 👇

A question I've been sitting with this week, and I wanted to ask you. What's the minimum you do for yourself? Not your ideal day and not the version of eating well that happens when everything goes right, but your floor, the minimum, what you will actually eat no matter what, even on the hard days and exhausting weeks and the times when the wheels are fully off. Because here's what I've noticed working with women on this for years: the ones who stay consistent aren't the ones with the most impressive healthy days, they're the ones who've decided what their floor is and never go below it. One whole foods meal counts, one green food counts, anything intentional counts. What's yours? Drop it below, even if it feels small, especially if it feels small. 👇

So..we need to talk. After 8 years of plant-based living, I've been doing a lot of reflecting. A lot of research. And I've come to a conclusion that I know is going to surprise you. The Plant-Powered Kitchen Club is going carnivore. Starting this month, we're retiring the lentils, putting down the tahini, and picking up the ribeye. Blood sugar balance, gut health, immune support? Apparently the answer is just steak. I'm so grateful for every smoothie we made together. Every black bean bite. Every matcha moment. But it's time.
