Happy Saturday evening from Rome! I love relaxing, listening to the radio/ podcasts, meandering around Rome and just generally enjoying the small things. My bed is where I’m happiest though- in a sunny spot with books, snacks and music!
🎉We've Come A Long Way
🎉 𝗜’𝗺 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 I started this group several months ago, and I’ve slowly built out the infrastructure to reflect what I want this space to be. A lot of you joined early, when there was no activity yet. I’d love for you to 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 and see what’s here. I’m quite proud of what this space is becoming. 🤍 🌿 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗲𝗿 I built 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, a meal planning generator that builds a 5-day plan from what you have on hand or on your grocery list. The meals are simple, and your plan comes as a pretty PDF you can print for the week. Find it in the 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘅 in the Classroom (𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟭). I recently updated it so it can build to your 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁 if you want! If not, it builds a very sensible 1,700-calorie week that keeps you well fueled without overdoing it. The plan is made to fuel a busy week of work, home management and workouts. There’s lots of content in the Community Feed, with lovely discussions on food, workouts, the new Lumi app and more. As you join in, you’ll move up the leaderboard and unlock the 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯 resources in the Classroom. 🍲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗧𝗶𝗲𝗿 My 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘅 is a collection of all my favorite nourishing recipes, and I’m adding more regularly. My 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵-𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 lives here too. We’ll be adding regular calls on meal prep and ancestral food skills in this tier. Let me know what you’d love to cover! 💪 𝗩𝗜𝗣 𝗧𝗶𝗲𝗿 This space is reserved for my FASTer Way clients. The 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗶 𝗢𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 guides for the new app live here, and I’m adding advanced resources for FASTer Way clients, including an 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 and more in-depth guides for your success in the program. You get VIP access when you register for coaching with me here: https://www.fasterway.com?aid=gwenroach This month there’s a ridiculous deal: $𝟮𝟬 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 with code 𝗟𝗨𝗠𝗜, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀, the brand-new protein product (you just cover shipping). 🎉 ✨ My mission is to help you build 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 for the things that matter in your life, by taking decision fatigue off your plate and helping you feel 𝗙𝗨𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚 in everything you do.

🍅Summer Meals
How are you anticipating changes in your kitchen rhythm this summer? I'm here thinking about cold meals we can have available. Tuna noodle salad is the first thing that comes to mind. Do you have any cold summer dinner dishes?

@Gwen Roach yep, honestly the quality is so different from what is usually available in the UK. The base ingredients are great so the final product is delicious! I’m so grateful for good, healthy food! 🙏🏻💕🇮🇹✨
🍷Ladies Night Snacks
I was just scrolling through the list of names that have joined this group so far. I realized that if I had all 24 of you in a room together, I'm sure we'd have the most lovely time. What's your favorite thing to bring to a ladies' night cozy gathering at someone's house? Doesn't have to be the healthiest - what's your go-to girls' night snack? I'm often one to bring the hummus. Recently I brought fresh milled Norwegian waffles (thin and heart shaped) with jam and sour cream and that was a surprising hit.

@Gwen Roach No way! Actually, yep I think they might be a Scottish thing, thinking about it. Like rice cakes but milled oats.
🥗My Recipe Box Is Ready!
I've been building this Recipe Box tool, and I'm so thrilled to share this with you! So far, this is a little recipe bank of my favorite fresh milled recipes, and a few other categories that I love. Fermentation projects, a few of my go-to macro-friendly recipes from the FASTer Way, and some other odds and ends. This should be a tool that can grow with me (with us), and that I should be able to keep adding to as Nourished & Strong comes more into what she's meant to be. I'd love your feedback! Let me know if you find any glitches or strange things about it. Leave a comment if you get in there and grab a recipe. I'd love to know your thoughts. And try out the muffins or the bourbon chicken while you're in there.💕 https://nourished-and-strong.netlify.app/recipe-box.html

Wow! I love love love this! Thanks so much Gwen! I really miss bagels, living in Italy, and so this is fantastic. Also sourdough- seems to be something that gives me much less acid reflux than anything else. I'm also going to give the kombucha recipe a go as well as the kefir. When I say "I", I mean my partner who is much more patient and probably better at following recipes! 🤣

@Gwen Roach ooh, yes please. I'm not too sure what is causing my acid reflux but it does seem to be linked with gluten. I'm trying to follow a gluten free diet, so any tips on that are always gladly received!
