Baked Naan pizza covered in leftovers is on my menu once a week. Left over chicken? Sweet potatoes? Brussel sprouts? Load it up! Make a side salad or plate of veggies and BAM. Dinner is served.

Tip: get the Naan crispy by putting it in the oven before you add your sauce and toppings.

I’m getting ready for a teaching filled weekend. And by teaching filled I mean two classes. Right now in my life that feels like a lot, but two classes is actually a joke compared to the days when I taught what seemed like 37 classes a day. 😅How?!

💄Hair and Makeup by @glamsquad

I brought my little man along as I got done up by @glamsquad with @jppilates1 to help promo our event for Sunday. I said “I would like a faux hawk, please” and that’s exactly what Veronica did. She whipped it up so fast and was adorable. This photo was pre makeup- but @abbiface with makeup was rockstar too. Everything she did felt so nice one my face.
I went home with a full face of makeup and hair done and Griffin immediately says “your cheeks are red”. However, it took Brandon a solid 10 minutes to say something - I think it’s because he finds me beautiful no matter what 💁🏻‍♀️ right?!!!! It was my first time working with @glamsquad and I would TOTALLY hire them. I believe- don’t hold me to this- it’s $50 for hair and $75 for makeup and they come to you! I’m traveling to DC for a wedding in May and I will be calling @glamsquad - they take the stress out of what I usually find stressful... and make you look like a queen.

Power Protein Balls! Scroll down for recipe.

Today I hosted a feeding workshop (and served these power balls) on tips and tricks to feeding your baby/toddler. It was inspiring and unifying to be in a room with women who wanted to make changes - with women asking for help and guidance when it comes to getting vegetables into their kids or how to break through the exhausting picky eating cycle. Some were there with only babies in their bellies simply to have the tools to create a good mealtime foundation for their future little ones.

There was A LOT of information, and everyone was engaged and hungry for what SLP @filzwork had to say. Thank you, Arden, for sharing your expertise and feeding us with quality knowledge. I think we all went home very ready to take on the next meal!

Until next time.

Protein Power Balls:
These are great for a snack. Filled with protein sweetened with dates. Feel free to mix up your ads ins! Throw in some pumpkin seeds or extra chocolate chips.

Ingredients: •1/4 cup dried fruit chopped (I used dried cherries chopped )
•1/3 cup chocolate chips (you can also use mini chocolate chips)
• pinch of sea salt •8-10 medjool dates pitted
• 2-3 tablespoons of peanut butter or your choice of nut butter •1 cup of oats (ground up), or you can use 1 cup of instant oats
•3 tablespoons of chia seeds, hemp hearts or flax seeds (optional)

Instructions:

Blend oats - If you have instant oats you don’t need to blend as much. Place the oats in a bowl with dried fruit and chocolate chips.
Pit the dates and place them in water just covering them. Microwave for 2 minutes. Remove dates from water and 3 tablespoons of the “date water” and blend them. I used a mini food processor- the same thing I used to blend the oats. Add in your PB and blend again creating a sticky paste.
Mix date/PB paste with oats and dried fruit/chocolate/chia seeds. Create small balls and roll in shredded coconut.

Put in fridge for 30 min and enjoy. You can freeze them or keep in fridge!

“Mama’s My Girl”. Even if I almost drop you 😅

Yes, I realize this my third food post in a row. So here goes. Last night I made a Mexican inspired dish from fresh pinto beans and topped it over rice. I combined a bunch of recipes but if you google “Mexican Pinto Beans Recipe” you will come across something good. So so good.

This morning we had company over for brunch and I reused the leftover pinto beans as the base for our Huevos Rancheros. The Huevos Rancheros is all about the toppings. Last night before the brunch I got everything prepped so it was super easy to make in the morning. I hate the feeling of rushing to get things done when company is here to chat and relax.

Toppings included:
•flour/corn tortillas
•Red cabbage (cut super small) with evoo, salt, and red wine vinegar
• pinto beans from last night (this was warmed up and placed first right on top of tortilla)
• over easy egg - obv
•quesco fresco cheese
•cilantro
• diced tomatoes and avocado
• a lime wedge and sour cream on the side

By prepping the night before we had everything done and ready the next day within 10 minutes!

Blueberry, Banana, PB Oatmeal Cookies: I have been testing out a lot of cookie and treat recipes that don’t ask for added sugar and are super easy to make - with minimal ingredients. These are pretty delicious!
•2 cups ground oats (blend them in food processor or vitamix) doesn’t have to be perfect
•1/2 cup applesauce
• 3 medium sized bananas - ripe and mashed
•1/2 cup blueberries- I used frozen
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 2 tbs PB
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
•1/2 tsp baking powder
After bananas are mashed (add in PB and mix a bit more) and oats are ground mix everything together. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes - check around 10 minutes. I made cookies and muffins. *I bet you could also make this cookie with almond flour. If you don’t want blueberries add any kind of berries... or chocolate chips 🤷🏻‍♀️

thanks @stephefez for the inspo!

Endives act a great vessel for anything. Here were have a beet and cabbage salad. I like to add sweeter vegetables (like beets and apples) to the endive since the endive itself can be a little bitter.

You can also stuff it with tuna or egg salad!

Beet salad:
•Boil or roast fresh beets- peel
•cut up into nice small cubes - add EVOO, red wine vinegar and goat cheese and some salt
Cabbage salad (I make this a lot!):
• cut purple cabbage nice and small
•add apples/carrots or both (shredded carrots and cubed apples)
• dress with salt, EVOO, Red wine vinegar
•you could also add some apple cider vinegar and a little honey

We are soaking in the weekend over here and doing a lot of cooking and meal experimenting for the feeding workshop I’m holding on February 3rd. Mamas and Papas will be coming together to learn from the best on how to encourage healthy relationships and practices with food and their baby/toddler.

It was inspiring to me how many of you reached out with thoughtful questions about feeding your little ones. This is an area where I feel we often do not get much support and I am so pumped to change that!

The workshop is SOLD OUT with a waitlist, but stay tuned for more opportunities ❤️🥦 #food #toddler #baby #healthyeating #boston #workshop
