You’ve probably seen the meal prep trend online where dozens and dozens of meals are prepped in containers for the entire week? The recipe below (which is totally customizable! ) takes less than 30 mins of active prep time, but makes enough food for several portions, increasing the odds that you’ll be a veggie powerhouse for the workweek. None Energy bites/balls (such as my Chocolate Hemp or Triple Almond Energy Balls I’ve provided a detailed recipe below because it helps to have something to work from the first time, but like I said, feel free to run with it. If you simply commit to roasting 2 big sheets of veggies, cook a grain, and chop some fresh veggies….you’ll be well on your way to making easy throw-together power bowls all week long.

For most of my life, I’ve always been trying to “fix myself”…this can be a positive thing (such as when I’m trying to be the best version of myself I can be), but it can also turn into a very toxic mindset. It’s easy for me to veer to the dark side of self-improvement and lose sight of my qualities and self-worth. There’s so much wisdom to soak up, and I learn things each time I read it. I’m also (late to the party) using my Kindle reader on my phone and love how I can read a few pages here and there while I’m waiting for an appointment or when I have time to kill.

Scrolling through Instagram would have me believe that we’re all killin’ this New Year thing, but something tells me I’m probably not seeing the less than stellar starts to the year. Maybe you, like me, were more than ready to leave 2018 in your dust, but the start to the year hasn’t gone as you hoped—please know that you aren’t alone! Life challenges don’t adhere to a calendar format and they certainly don’t pause for holidays. Served with a rich Lemon-Garlic Aioli, crunchy chopped dill pickles, green onion, and fresh dill

The only problem is that I don’t have much time for home decor projects (I’ve completed 2 nurseries and an office in 5 years…lol), so I’ve been chipping away at this office at a snail’s pace. We were going through a huge grey phase, but over time it started to wear on me, and I found the office was less than inspiring. When I pictured my white office furniture popping off a dark, dramatic wall, I was sold. I’ve gone back and forth over whether I should do a bit of wallpaper on one wall (maybe the front wall where the windows are? ), but I’ll most likely just leave it alone!
