My ideal morning starts with water and coffee while I read or write, followed by a workout (ideally a run around the city, situation permitting), and then getting ready for my day. On my best days I don’t open my phone until I am putting on music for my run. I have not had a lot of my best days this last month.
•
I have a completely different energy and focus when my morning starts like this verses water and coffee while scrolling and answering messages. My goals for the next month is to get back to my best morning ☀️energy and ditch the scrolling.
•
When setting a goal 🎯 it needs action- for my goal in particular I need a stack of books 📚 next to my bed and on the coffee table in my living room (the two places I drink coffee and read).
•
Put a little heater at my desk cuz I love 💕 cozy mornings while I journal.
•
Leave my phone plugged in and away from my morning spaces so I’m not tempted to pick it up.
•
No phone 📱 til I leave for my run 🏃‍♀️ or workout. Hard rule. Stick to it. No negotiating with myself.

The research behind dancing and stress relief is well-established.
•
Straight from pub med (as if you needed a meta-analysis to justify 💃 dancing )
•
“Twenty-eight randomized controlled trials involving 2249 eligible subjects were selected. These studies revealed that dance interventions had a significant effect on relieving depression symptoms. Exposure to a dancing intervention for at least 150 min per week was found to have reduced depression symptoms.”

I serve it along side basil grapefruit sorbet and it is the perfect post meal sweet treat.
•
Of course, I also put out some cake or some cookies 🍪 so no one feels deprived. I get it! Not everyone’s favorite dessert is fruit salad 😂
•
A handful of chopped mint leaves 🍃 make this so tasty. Add fresh herbs to everything - yummy herbs elevate any dis taste wish and nutrient wise. And- random fact- the leaves and steam contain different phytonutrients so don’t be afraid to use those stems!

And NO I am not recommending that one cut out all starchy carbohydrates all day. I am recommending you save them for later in the day. Why?
•
When you eat those starches or refined carbohydrates at breakfast you produce more insulin than you do with fat, fiber (which is a type of carb btw so you are getting some carbs with that breakfast!), and protein. When insulin is higher it wants to stay high and that means more carb cravings all day. Save those smart carbs (ex: sweet potato with skin, whole grains, legumes, green peas, pumpkin) til later in the day (and yes 🙌 you need these types of carbs!) if you want more sustained energy levels and less sweet and carb cravings throughout the day.

These dates, a fruit 🍎 salad (the secret ingredient is fresh mint leaves 🍃 and chop all the fruit super small), and fruit popsicles for dessert (not homemade but no food coloring or artificial flavors- just to keep the kiddies happy) is what I’m serving for dessert to my big table this Shabbat.
•
Keeping it simple and yummy with whole ingredients ❤️

Screenshots and photos 📷, snapshots of all the good little things and moments that make me smile. It really is about the little things every day- romanticize 💕 your life- the coffee ☕️ , the outfits 👗 , the sunny ☀️ moments. It’s all so pretty and lovely even in the midst of whatever chaos is going on in the news or “out there.” 🩷🩷🩷

are a girls best friends so I always make a big batch of these and add to salads, as a side, or just as a snack with some tahini.

This is your weekly reminder that healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated. I spend as little time in the kitchen as possible while still prioritizing home cooked meals and nutrient-dense, whole foods. Fresh veggies, fresh herbs, good quality olive oils and spices- so simple and so delicious.
