So beyond proud of my daughter Jordana for co-chairing the Paws on the green event. Simply the best... Saving animals lives and helping these babies to get adopted.

This past week I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker on Cristina Young's podcast. If you are a busy parent I think you will thoroughly enjoy this episode as well as Cristina who had incredible insight into Parenting Teenagers . I wish I had known about her when I was raising my daughters. Cristina and I sat down and discussed Healthy Habits for busy Moms. I listed my top 10 tips and tricks. The truth of the matter is it is applicable to all. In this episode I discuss practical tips to help one create healthier routines without getting overwhelmed.
From building a solid kitchen foundation with clean ingredients, to meal planning, batch cooking, and smart shopping. My advise will hopefully allow for you to make healthier living accessible with a busy schedule. If you have ever wanted to avoid chaotic meal times or feel more confident navigating nutrition then this episode is for you. It is packed with many strategies and insights.

see what I bought at Costco today!!!

Here are a couple of tips and tricks for Thanksgiving and the holiday season.

I made a quick crudité and healthy dip which contained just 4 ingredients to eat before dinner..

I recommend starting dinner with either a salad or veggies in some form or a broth based soup with veggies.. this is an easy way to consume more veggies as well as curb your appetite for dinner. I try and batch prep cut up veggies on Sunday so I can quickly serve during the week.

Here is one of my favorite healthy snack ideas....Peanut butter protein balls.... this is a great grab and go option!!! Filled with proteins, carbs and healthy fats enjoy!!
You can also make this into a cookie by adding an egg and baking soda to the recipe and cooking in the oven or air fryer.

Just got this great Clean kitchen storage set from W&P. Cleanse your space of harmful single-use plastic and make meal prep a breeze. Some of my favorites are the seal tight glass bowls, reusable silicon bags, and there new reusable stretch top collection. Place on top of a bowl, casserole dish or an open can. They also have great color options to choose from. Here I went with the oat. .com &P

Had a wonderful day with Griffin visiting the children at the Miami Ronald McDonald House. Anything to put a smile on those beautiful adorable innocent faces.

Got off the plane and went straight to the food store. ✔️ Picked up the essentials that I need to start my week off right. Pineapple and mint for my infused water, eggs so I can make hardboiled for a grab and go protein, yogurt & cottages to eat with berries, ground turkey that I will turn into meatballs for a quick dinner or lunch eaten with a salad and a sweet potato... healthy living done easily!!

I am obsessed with this lobster summer roll from Stuart's in Amagansett. It is rice paper stuffed with chunks of fresh lobster, crunchy cooked cabbage and carrots and comes with a peanut dipping sauce. Run and get it if you are in the neighborhood, you will not be disappointed!!
