Don't let the name fool you. Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of the most nutrient-dense ingredients nature offers, and April through May is its absolute peak season. If you've ever walked past a patch and cursed the sting, it might be time to reconsider your relationship with this wild plant entirely. Ounce for ounce, nettle contains more protein than almost any other leafy green. It's a genuine powerhouse of iron, calcium, and vitamin K and it is quietly growing for free along roadsides and forest edges. The flavour is deeply green, earthy, and mineral - think spinach, but wilder and more concentrated. It has that quality of tasting like it's actually doing something for you. ❇️❇️❇️❇️The only rule worth knowing: wear gloves when you harvest and wash it. ❇️❇️❇️❇️ Those tiny stinging hairs are completely neutralized by heat or drying, so a quick 60-second blanch in boiling water renders them 100% safe and delicious. That's it. No complex preparation, no special equipment. Once blanched, nettle becomes one of the most versatile ingredients in the anti-inflammatory kitchen. It works as a straight swap for spinach in soups, pestos, and pasta dough and you´ll have a vibrant deep-green colour and a serious nutritional upgrade. Have you tried the nettles yet? How to you cook them?

This is a keto meal : packed with fats and protein and very few carbs. This is what you should eat before starting the fast so you could enter in fasting ketosis faster and easier. We will talk more about it later today during the live call. Check the calendar and come prepared for a clear 7 day plan on how to properly introduce fasting into your life.

I promised this earlier in the week, but I wasn’t able to follow through, we had come off of a 10hour, 4,500 mile flight. Here ’ll be taking you through the aisles of our local Wegmans in Montgomery County, MD, and you can see the outrageous grocery prices that we are currently paying as of April 2026! We have to split up our grocery shopping across multiple stores in order to save the most money. Today is our Wegmans run where I will be topping up our fresh fruits and vegetables and a little bit of food for our dinner tonight. And tomorrow, I’ll be heading to Aldi to purchase more of our proteins and pantry staples.

I had my "date" with my teenage son today and we went, just the two of us, to a beautiful town next to the sea. We laughed a lot and we took a 5 km walk by the sea. Teenagers nowadays live by different rules: they declare themselves shallow while having a meaningful conversation, they text and don´t call ("Mom, we are not animals"), they take forever in making any kind of plans with other teenagers but can give you a excellent guide on how to drive them from one place to another ... It was a long drive so I had to listen to teenagers´ music which is hard, people, very hard :) but we have a system of one song for me and one for you so the road trip was full of "wow, I haven´t heard this one before" from both of us. Happy to be able to have these experiences and building memories 💓 What is/was your Saturday like? And if you celebrate Easter this weekend, Happy Easter!
