We are making classic rice crispy treats today… well, maybe with a little brown butter in there. We literally had zero purchased store made treats when I was a kid… and, sometimes, when the marshmallow gods delivered, I could make these. What is a childhood favorite classic treats you remember ? Do you still make it today ?

This is what we cook when stuck in a heatwave. Excuse the weird lighting… our shutters are drawn and we are living like mole people right now 🫠🤣😂

This may not be the fanciest of all my food photos but it absolutely has its place. Most of you know, I’ve had mono for weeks and am on the mend. ❤️‍🩹 When we are sick, what we eat becomes even more important- the food is either going to work for you, or against you, on your way to healing. This is something simple I made today, very simple. It required very little efforts but gives me a huge bang for my buck for nutritional healing. ***I’m chef not a nutritionist. This is just how I break down my meals, personally, to care for my health. Curry Lentils + Tomato Sauce + Greek Yogurt + Collagen Peptides, with a Chicory Root Milk Latte. 📊 The Macro Stats - Calories: ~518 kcal - Protein: 51.4g (Massive block for tissue repair) - Carbohydrates: 44.5g (Easily digestible energy) - Fat: 11.8g (Low-fat to protect an inflamed liver) - Fiber: 11.5g (Nearly 50% of your daily gut needs) 🧠 5 Key Points 1. The Prebiotic-Probiotic Gut Axis 🦠 Most of us know… 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. The inulin fiber in the chicory root latte acts as a prebiotic "food" that feeds and multiplies the live, active probiotics found in the Greek yogurt topping. Better gut health equals better nutrient absorption and a stronger immune system. 2. Protecting an Inflamed Liver 🧪 Mono frequently strains the liver and spleen, elevating liver enzymes. By keeping total fat low (under 12g), this meal is incredibly light and easy to process. Plus, the antioxidant lycopene in the tomato sauce shields liver tissue from oxidative stress. 3. Muscle Preservation While Sedentary 🧬 When you cannot exercise, your body risks muscle wasting. Hitting 50g+ of protein keeps you in a positive nitrogen balance. This ensures your body preserves muscle mass even while you are completely resting. I’m assuming the 60+ stairs to the front door for a delivery, aren’t preserving too much of my muscles- I’m actually fighting myself on feeling lazy and bored… 4. The MICRONUTRIENTS ⚡ Beyond macros, this meal targets cellular recovery with specific vitamins and minerals:

Another walk a little further out… making some slow sauce today. So far… still cooking the onions, slowly. What are you eating today? Bonus if you’re into sharing pictures 🪻🪻🪻

can’t beat it.
