Hi friends! I did one of those “ask me anything” things on Instagram stories the other day and I got a bunch of questions about my health, and health in general. Unfortunately I never have enough space on Instagram because I’m such a wordy lady, but I realized I need to give ya’ll a health update and also share more of what I’ve learned over these years in my extensive research about autoimmune disease and natural healing. So both of those things are coming soon, I promise! In the meantime, I made you a bowl of goodness! This is how I’ve been eating lately: lots of plants, lots of pastured meats, lots and lots of pesto and chimichurri. So it’s delicious, even if there is a current laundry list of indulgences I’m not enjoying. But more on that soon.
How on earth are you managing this with a toddler you ask? Two words: MEAL PREP! If you aren’t cooking a bunch on a weekend day for meals you can throw together during the week, I dare say you’re missing out like a one winged penguin! Swimming in circles!!! Roasting pans full of veggies, grilling up chicken breasts, making large batches of pesto and chimichurri- these are the things that make my world go round. Or at the very least keep me from losing my mind, falling off the health wagon and resorting to a bag of cherries for dinner. Most of the time anyway. All of this is to say that a meal like this is labor intensive IF you aren’t batch cooking and eating all of the ingredients again the next day in a salad, or another yummy bowl with a few small modifications. If you ARE batch cooking, a meal like this is thrown together right before it’s time to eat will make you so grateful to your past self that you may want to marry her (or him). The recipe the amounts will be for making 2-3 large bowls, but you know what I think you should do- batch that ish!
Lastly, it feels sooooo good to be back at this blogging thing and I’m sooooooo grateful for all of your support. I’ve had many a moment of intense gratitude thinking about how even though I basically fell off the planet for a couple of years you didn’t forget about me and have welcomed me back to this space with arms that feel like a grandma’s hug. The best possible!! Thank you so very, very much. xx- Sarah . {Recipe after the jump}
