Start your day off right with these fluffy, soft and mouth-watering *Healthier Almond Butter Banana Pancakes* topped with a delicious Cinnamon Almond Butter drizzle.

These pancakes are extra delicious with the addition of Justin’s Cinnamon Almond Butter. Justin’s is my go-to choice for almond butter because it’s made with ingredients I feel good about and provides protein and fiber, which helps me stay satiated and energized throughout my busy work days.

The new pollinator-friendly badge found on all Justin’s Almond Butter jars signifies the brand’s ongoing support of pollinator conservation efforts - choosing Justin’s means you’re choosing a more resilient food system!

Hey everyone! It’s been a long long time so I’ve shown my face and reintroduced myself 😊

I first started this account in 2015, 8 years ago!! That’s crazy. Just little old me with a cooking hobby that’s grown into such a huge passion of mine over the years. This passion turned into me pursuing dietetics as a career and helping others learn about the joy of food.

I’m currently working as a clinical dietitian alongside running this food blog. If I’m being honest, it’s been a bittersweet journey with this blog. I’ve taken long breaks (for my education) and learned how dynamic and changeable social media can be over time. It’s been a journey learning how to navigate this unexpected algorithm and saturated market. And I have moments when I feel like I’m not doing enough or paying too much attention to numbers. But what has not changed is my love for creating and sharing recipes.

I hope that these recipes can spark joy for you as it does for me :)

Some of my favorite things:
* Rainy days in a coffee shop (the inner Seattleite coming out)
* Slow mornings with a warm homemade vanilla latte and a good book (right now I’m reading The Nightingale)
* Laying down on a picnic blanket with my favorite read while watching my husband play pickleball. Haha so specific but it’s been a staple activity this summer.
* A warm gooey chocolate chip cookie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. My husband and I eat this at least 2x/week.
* Going out to Thai food - my favorite!
* Exercising for 30 min (no more). I’ve learned that my body enjoys working out for a maximum of 30-35 min. Any longer and I usually end up dreading it or getting bored. It’s important to enjoy the exercise you’re doing not forcing yourself into it!

If you ever have any questions, recipe requests, or just want someone to talk to, my DMs are always open 🤍

Have you had a chance to check out my *vegan lentil meatballs* 👀 they are SO tender and delicious and simple to make!

Can’t get over this *chocolate chunk walnut & coconut banana bread* it’s a mouthful 😏 HIGHLY recommend slathering with some creamy peanut butter because PB makes everything better in my opinion.

I’d like to say I have a major obsession with sourdough bread —perhaps all types of bread 🙇🏽‍♀️ Whose with me?

Lmk your go-to bread choice 👇🏼

All breads fit! Whether it’s a fluffy white bread or hearty whole-grain. No judgement here!

I used to follow and listen to this messaging CONSTANTLY.

I was told by diet culture that I had to use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of “refined” sugar, almond flour instead of white flour, or banana instead of oil.

Baking with “traditional” ingredients was considered “unhealthy” and only could be done on the weekends — “cheat days”

👉🏼 Does this resonate with you?

Diet culture demonizes these foods. Makes us feel guilty and ashamed for eating them.

But what diet culture tells us about this IS NOT TRUE ‼️

- We have full, unconditional permission to eat any and all foods.

- We have full permission to enjoy any and all foods.

Food should be celebrated without guilt or shame 🥳

Disclaimer: enjoying these substitutions isn’t BAD. If they are your preference, then go for it!!

Remember you have permission to choose what works for you.

Just ask yourself before substituting that ingredient: What is my intention? How am I going to feel about this after?
