Fresh market day isn’t just about filling the fridge. It’s how I set the rhythm for the week ahead ✹ I grab what’s fresh, what’s in season, and what fuels our everyday plates. Because feeding a family well takes more than a grocery list. It takes intention. This is my kind of planning—flexible, purposeful and built for real life đŸ„—

What does a bowl built with intention look like đŸ€” It looks like this one 🌈 Vibrant color for energy and antioxidants, protein to steady my blood sugar and keep me full, and flavors that satisfy without overthinking đŸ„— This is my Smoky Pulled Salmon Salad, straight from The Build Your Bowl Salad Cookbook. It’s a bowl that comforts, fills, and keeps up when life gets full 😌 What kind of bowl are you reaching for today 💚

Today was a good day â˜ș

I hosted a Build Your Bowl session with a group of women curious about cooking vegan proteins. We got in the kitchen (virtually), covered some nutrition basics, and made my Crispy Tofu with Sweet Potato Purée and Bok Choy.

For most of them, it was their first time working with tofu, and they nailed it. I love watching people step outside their comfort zones and actually enjoy the process. By the end, they weren’t just eating it, they were excited to make it again.

That’s what knowledge, practice and a little encouragement can do ✹

While I eat an all-inclusive diet, I genuinely enjoy protein in many forms. Tofu isn’t just for vegans. It’s a complete protein, it’s versatile and when it’s cooked right, it checks every box: flavor, texture and nutrition.

Every time I lead these sessions, I’m reminded that real confidence in the kitchen comes from doing. When you understand how to cook something, and why it matters, you start making better choices. No extremes required.

So tell me: When’s the last time you tried cooking something totally new 😉

Hydration isn’t just a summer thing. Winter might be when we need it most. Cooler temps, drier air, less thirst, it all adds up. Infused water is one of the simplest ways I stay on track 💧 Besides being refreshing, the seasonal blends I’m sharing here support hydration, digestion, energy and healthy skin, all day long. Simple prep. Smart sips. Real wellness đŸŠđŸ«šđŸŽ

Not everything needs to be a workout. This kind of movement? It’s just me choosing myself for 20 minutes. No pressure, no structure, just what I need 😌 Spontaneous movement isn’t random. It’s a lifestyle tool. One I use daily to stay centered, clear and consistent—for my body, my bowls and everything else đŸ’ȘđŸŸ

No time. No problem ✔ This loaded shrimp Cobb came together in 5 minutes, thanks to my salad bar fridge. I lift. I teach. I coach. I mom 💚 And when I don’t have the energy to cook, I still eat well. A little prep fuels a full life đŸ„—

This is how I set the tone for the week ✹

Not just for me, but for my family too. These layers will build lunches, top off dinners, and bring balance to our busy days. All ready to grab from my salad bar fridge.

It’s not about eating “perfect.” It’s about being prepared to eat well, on purpose.

A few hours of effort = days of ease. And when food is ready, choices feel easier. More intentional. More joyful.

This is how I show up. Week after week đŸ„—

The secret to loving leafy greens? It really does start with the dressing ✹ This Lemon‑Honey Vinaigrette doubles as a marinade for massaged collards or kale, and finishes salads and bowls with that perfect balance of tang, sweetness and heart-healthy fats 🍋 Try it out and let me know what you build đŸ„ŹđŸ’š

Raw collards in a salad? Yes, absolutely ✹ Chop them small. Massage them with a little kosher salt and a vinegar- or lemon-based dressing. Let them rest. Then watch them transform đŸ„Ź Plant-based greens like this don’t need fuss. Just the right prep and a little patience 💚

This time of year, I always stock up on in-season fruit like pomegranate, apples, and pears 🍐 They’re fresher, taste better, and usually cost less too 😉 Whether you’re building a full salad or grabbing a snack, what’s in season makes a difference 🍎

This year’s Thanksgiving spread: Jamaican oxtails, cabbage, roasted sweet potatoes and everyone’s favorite ultimate salad bowl, plus pecan pie for dessert đŸ„— I prepped everything the night before, which gave me space to be present, move slowly and enjoy every bite. While I’m beyond grateful, I also know what it’s like not to have a warm plate or loved ones nearby. I don’t take this moment for granted, and I’m sending love to anyone who needs it today 💚 Happy Holidays 🎄

This is one of those sides I keep coming back to, especially during the fall 🍎 My Kale Apple Slaw is crisp, colorful and full of texture. No mayo. No cooking. Just a few prepped layers, some freshly shredded opal apple and my maple Dijon vinaigrette to tie it all together 💚 Plant-based, effortless, and done in five minutes. It’s one of the no-cook recipes from The Build Your Bowl Salad Cookbook, and it never disappoints đŸ„—
