Fall Into Balance – What to make with those…

If you just finished up the Fall into Balance Cleanse, you may have found yourself surrounded by extra food goodies like carrots, butternut squash, cabbage, rosemary, and thyme. All of these recipes are gentle enough to eat as you’re easing out of your cleanse without breaking havoc on your gut or undoing all the good you just did during detox.

Even if you haven’t done the cleanse, and are itching to use some seasonal produce in healthy delicious ways, the recipes below should provide a little inspiration. Enjoy!!

9 Ways to Beat the Work-From-Home Groundhog Day Blues

When shelter-in-place orders went into effect in early March, the workday for many office workers changed completely and may be the “new normal” for some of us longterm. Makeshift desks have popped up on kitchen tables and in weird crowded nooks filled with books, plants, and nik naks. Screaming children and barking dogs now interrupt zoom meetings on the regular. The commute is thankfully gone, but many of us have replaced it with more hours in front of the computer, unable to separate work life from home life.

Turkey and Chickpea Rice Skillet Meal

This one definitely qualifies for #StressFreeSuppers since you chop, drop, stir together and find healthy, hearty dinner happiness in about 20 minutes. I combined extra lean ground turkey with broccoli stems, mushrooms, onion, diced tomatoes, garlic, fresh rosemary, and some nutritional yeast (think cheesy flavor but no dairy – or those dairy calories) with some Banza chickpea rice to round things out and make it a meal, but with extra protein and gluten-free!

If you’ve been desk or car bound all day, this flow is perfect for unwinding and relaxing those areas where we all love to hold our stress, our hips, back and shoulders. This flow is an easy, level 1/2 and is perfect as a lunch break or for some much needed after work “me time” yoga. Enjoy!

Cooking Basics – Salad Dressing

Do you LOVE a big crunchy salad as much as I do? I’ve had multiple coworkers at different companies refer to me as “Salad Girl” because of my propensity to bring them for lunch every day. It was a nickname I wore proudly.

How do you walk up hills?

Do you enjoy the climb, treating it the same as a flat? Do you pause a lot, feeling overwhelmed by the mountains looming ahead? Do you avoid them altogether and stick to the gentle familiar flats you know you can walk? Or do you put one foot in front of the other and grind until you reach the top or at least a nice vista?
