I feel like my kids would've loved growing up in the 80's. They LOVE anything I make with tuna!

Tortilla tuna melts:
Canned tuna
Avocado mayo
Celery, purple cabbage, broccoli, peppers, radishes
Season with pepper

Spoon mixture into tortillas, top with cheese and throw into the oven at 375 until golden.

Tortilla brands: almond flour tortillas and uncooked flour tortillas (which I precooked)

Cheese: Bang Bang triple play cheese andsheep cheddar; Colby jack cheese

Fall is here, so let's enjoy some comfort foods!!

Smashed potatoes and carrots!

-Pressure cooker for 4-6 min.
-Place on parchment paper coated with EVOO and a pinch of salt and pepper (not too much, because you'll be seasoning the top too!)
-SMASH EM! (I've used a spatula, plate, fork, sometimes my hand, which gets a little hot.)
-Sprinkle with EVOO, salt, and pepper.

425 Oven until crispy. I have flipped halfway, and I have also not flipped and broiled a little for some extra crispiness. Both ways work and one requires less work 😉

S.T.R.E.S.S.
#2 on my hormone disruptor list (see previous post).

STRESS, such a common word. Such a normal feeling...but should it be?

Stress can be good - it helps us in difficult, dangerous situations; it helps us get the job done. But stress all the time??? That leads to CHRONIC STRESS.

Not only does chronic stress affect hormones, but look at other ways it can wreak havoc on your body.

▪︎Insulin resistance
▪︎Heart disease
▪︎Depression
▪︎Mood disorders
▪︎Hormone imbalances
▪︎Thyroid disease
▪︎Weakened immune system

You may not notice it now; you may not notice it next year....but when you do notice it in 10 years, you might regret not nipping it in the butt earlier!
Taking a moment right now to check in with your stress level!
Watch for next post in ways to combat stress!

If you're feeling crummy and can't figure out why, it could be your hormones.
Take it slowly. Choose one way to improve your health and add more as the changes become your routine!

Find someone to keep you accountable. If you need a nutrition coach to take you through the process, I am here for you!
