hello from sunny FLA + healthy food inspiration

Good morning gorgeous friends.

I awoke to the sweetness of sunshine, sand and surf. Check out my morning view…

How incredible is that!?!

My husband and I are taking a couple days for rest and relaxation sans baby in sunny Florida. This is our first time away from Miss S and although my heart already misses her immensely, I know that this is a very healthy thing to reconnect with myself and my husband.  I’m also pretty sure that Sloane is loving being spoiled by her Granny and Grandpa ;)

There is something to be said for being surrounded by Mother Nature and really taking the time to slow down and listen to what your head and heart have to say.

I have had lots of time to reflect and I am dreaming up some new offerings for my amazing clients. During this process I can’t help but feel so grateful for all of the wonderful people I have had the pleasure of working with. Just last week this little present arrived in the mail from one amazing mama I am currently working with.

I am so looking forward to trying some of these amazing recipes.

This recipe comes from one of my clients who is making some incredible changes in her life as she transitions to healthier living for her and her family. It doesn’t hurt that she has some sick culinary skills as well! I thought this recipe inspiration was fabulous and want to share with all of you.

Holy moly, gorgeous and healthy sushi!

Ingredients:

  • Fresh Halibut (marinated with ginger, yellow curry, garlic, sea salt & pepper)
  • Brown organic rice
  • Quebec asparagus {cooked in the oven with fresh lemon juice}
  • Homemade salsa {fresh dill, diced mango, tomato, cucumber, EVOO, sea salt & pepper}
  • Homemade guacamole {avocados, lemon juice, fresh cilantro}
  • Nori wraps
  • Chia & flax seed for the little crunch!

I think the lesson here is to be creative and have fun in the kitchen. Your health journey is uniquely yours. As long as you commit to making mindful and wise food choices you are moving forward and making progress!

Well, I am off to the beach {YEAHHHHH!}. I hope you have a fabulous day too!

zucchini avocado tartare + monday motivation

Good Monday morning!

I spent this past weekend surrounded by friends and family outdoors in the sunshine. Yeah! Spending time outside with Miss S soaking in some Vitamin D was long overdue thanks to a longer than usual winter but the warm weather is here and we are ready for lots of fun in the sun!

Here is an amazingly fresh, healthy and raw appetizer that was a hit with some friends we hosted this weekend.

tartare

This fabulous  Zucchini and Avocado Tartare recipe inspiration came from Summer over at Radiantly Raw. I will be making these again very soon!

I also want to give you a little Monday Motivation as you being a new week.

I want you to know how absolutely beautiful and perfect you are. You radiate love and beauty through the words that you speak, the thoughts that you think, your actions and how others feel when they are in your presence. Believe in your god given talents and gifts. You are the ONLY you, and that makes YOU perfect.
