An Elemental Life And Wellness

An Elemental Life And Wellness “Make physical and emotional well-being elemental in YOUR life”. Wellness is described as a “state of being comfortable, healthy or happy”.

Many years ago I turned from a dark lifestyle and set out on a journey to acquire improved health both physically and emotionally. I wanted to learn how to become comfortable in my own skin. I wanted to lose weight and keep it off. More importantly, I wanted to find contentment and be happy in life. I’ve had many ups and downs over the years and like many I have had to learn from my mistakes. Along the way, I discovered that emotional well-being went hand in hand with physical health. One cannot exist without the other. As I continue to ride the wave, I am amazed at what I uncover about myself and the world around me. This page is intended to encourage, support, uplift and share knowledge as well as resources I have acquired from my own personal experiences throughout my health journey. About Me:
I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a friend, a human being who believes in God. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 14 years, a Watsu Aquatic Therapist for over 9 years, a Certified Ai Chi Instructor for over 3 years and now I am also a Certified FDN-P (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner) and a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. My goal is to share not only recipes and exercise tips but also dive into more vulnerable and emotional topics. I’m excited to bring you all along as I evolve in my pursuit of self-discovery!

Sunday Meal Prepping Done ✅️

I didn't really need to make as much this week thankfully! 🙌 And... Real Talk... Money was more than right and I wasn't sure how this Single Momma was gonna make it happen this week.

But then I remembered.... 👇👇👇

I still have meals premade in the freezer to choose from.

I did also make a Flank Steak today in the crockpot leaving us some tasty leftovers. 😋

I prepped out Chicken Fritters (which my kids like) from chicken 🍗 I had set aside in the freezer. So that is an extra meal for us as well.

I repurposed some cooked chicken I had and made (4) Chicken Mexican Dishes 🌶 to put into the freezer for next time.

I used up some veggies 🥬 that were getting pethy and put together a few Jar Salads with Tuna.

My mom gave me some leftover Chai Kachava so I made Kachava Overnight Oats and added a TBSP of Walnuts and a little Unsweetened Shredded Coconut. 🥥

And... I repurposed my leftover Steak Fajitas I had the other night with my momma and made a Frittata for My Love. ❤

We're definitely covered for food this week. And I'm feeling super blessed. 🙌

What do you do when you don't get the result you were hoping for from an experiment??

.... You experiment AGAIN!! 🤓

My momma didn't raise no quitter!! And also... this Single Momma does NOT waste food in this house!! 🤚

So ... I took those Lentil Wraps I created last weekend (that I did NOT LOVE 👎) and made Lentil Chips instead!

And guess what?? 🤔

.... I liked them soooo much better!! 😌

I just cut them up, coated each side in Avocado 🥑 Oil, spices (Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Salt, and Paprika) and baked them at 350 for 20 minutes ⏲️ then flipped and baked another 15 minutes.

I enjoyed these protein/fiber rich chips with some Hummus. Yuuuup. They were delicious!! 😋

So when in doubt...try try again! I'm so glad I was able to save and reuse what I already have. 🙌

A few weeks ago I made this comforting, soul soothing meal for someone special and I. 😍

I wanted to have something that felt warm and completely filling while also still providing a good amount of nutrients and protein. 💪

I created this "Mexican Pie" using a combination of different recipes I've shared before. 😏

I incorporated my secret ingredient "Sweet Corn" 🌽 Extract into this Gluten-free Cornbread Muffin Mixture.

I added that mixture to a blend of Ground Turkey, Peppers, Onions, Organic Black Beans, Cauliflower Rice, and LOTS of spices. 🌶

I baked at 375 for 20 minutes. The Cheese 🧀 in the Cornbread was perfect the amount of cheese for this dish.

Needless to say, it was a total hit. I'll definitely be making this again!! 😎

This week has been about self-nourishing practices, refocusing, and taking one day at a time. 🙌

It's been a challenging week full of obstacles, schedule changes, and emotional ups and downs.

Life is not easy. The path to improved health is not a straight line 📉. There are and will continue to be bumps in the road.

It's ok to take time to re-enter and re-adjust when needed.

My best offense this week was to ensure I was adhering to my meal plan 🗓 and getting in my gym time as well as my morning walks/runs.

After gaining about 10lbs from perimenopause, I decided it was time to start tracking 📊 my food again.

I focused on Protein 💪, Fiber, and Fat. These are all essential for women of my age when we're navigating the many changes in our bodies.

I felt full, satisfied, and waaaaaay less bloated this week. I slept 😴 better and I was able to have a much better attitude each day.

What are YOU doing to support YOURSELF through the changes of life??

Welcome back to another episode of "Let's see what we can throw together" and make it edible! 🤣🤣

It's not exactly "Marry Me Chicken"... because I didn't yet flour, but it's just definitely maybe "Court Me for Awhile Chicken". 🤣🤣

Fairly easy and quick ingredients ~

5 thin Chicken Breasts
1 box of Barilla Chick Pea Penne Pasta
Half a jar of leftover Mushrooms
Half a jar of Sun Dried Tomatoes
Half a jar of Sun Dried Pesto
Heavy Whipping Cream
Shredder Parmesan Cheese
Chicken Bone Broth
Spices (Oregano, Thyme, Fresh Basil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Garlic Salt)

I tossed the cooked pasta in the Pesto. 😋

Quick and easy supper for the win! 🏆

This is one of those meals that feels like a lot of steps. But it really isn't.

It also feels like a fancy meal. But it really isn't.

It also feels like it could be straight fire 🔥 in your mouth. And...it really IS!! 😍

I had a concept for this meal and let me tell you what!! It was unbelievably gooooood! I've already received some positive feedback and this is a trusted source 💯. So I absolutely believe him! 😏

I'd love to give you a specific recipe, but honestly ya'll... I measure everything with my heart. ❤ That's just how I do!!

What I will share is the ingredients and you can try your hand at it as well!!

This Dreamy, Creamy Sausage Spaghetti Squash Bake was made with TONS of love!! And that means cheese! 🤣🤣 Gouda and Greyere Cheese 🧀 to be precise!

Along with Mushrooms 🍄, Onions, finely chopped Spinach, Heavy Whipping Cream, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Salt, and Rosemary.

I did cook my Spaghetti Squash al dente so it wasn't mushy. In fact, it came out perfect! 🙌 I baked at 400 for 4o minutes.

I divided everything into 5 dishes and baked at 375 for 20 minutes. And... this dish was everything I hoped 🙏 it would be plus more!

Try it out yourself and let me know what you think!! 😌
