Happy first day of fall! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As sad as it is to say goodbye to summer, I welcome the chance to start afresh in a new season. I tend to run myself ragged during the summer - packing in vacations, time with friends, eating at all the outdoor restaurants - I start to long for a quiet night in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re feeling the same way, I think you might enjoy the mindful scheduling I plan on doing. I’m going to do a few things:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Set an alarm for when I want to go to bed (I know this sounds lame, but I really want to get up at 6 am every day so I can meditate and go for a walk or run before work - the only way I can do that is if I go to bed on time)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Make a plan to only schedule one social activity for weeknights (if that) because I want to save weeknights for time spent with my husband or on my own. Weekends can be for hosting or going out, but I don’t want that added pressure during the week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Dedicating time on Sunday nights for a self-care routine - taking a bath, wearing a sheet mask, or reading a great book. Anything that makes me feel cared for and not overwhelmed (reading the news, etc). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have any ideas for a fall schedule reset? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mindfulness #fall #autumn #selfcare #chicagoblogger #midwestbloggers #selflove #selfworth #spiritjunkie #selfhelp #healing #loveyourself #selfconfidence #anxiety #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #joy #happiness
This miso ramen with bok choy is one of the most popular posts on my blog for good reason - it's spicy, delicious, and takes 10 minutes to make! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s how to make it:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 3 cups water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1.5 to 2 ounces organic ramen noodles⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 2 tablespoons red miso⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1 teaspoon sesame oil⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * pinch of salt and pepper⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1 free range egg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1 head of baby boy choy, trimmed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1 spring onion, finely chopped⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1 teaspoon chili oil⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * 1 teaspoon sesame seeds�⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INSTRUCTIONS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package directions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Take 3 tablespoons of water from the boiling pot and add it to a small bowl with the red miso. Stir it vigorously to combine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. About a minute before the ramen is done cooking, add the miso, sesame oil, salt and pepper, and bok choy and stir to combine. Use a spoon to create a dent in the noodles and carefully crack the egg in it. Use the spoon to ladle the boiling water on top of the egg to cook it faster.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. When the ramen is done cooking, use a ladle to carefully move the egg and everything else to a bowl.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6. Top with spring onions, chili oil, and sesame seeds.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodblogfeed #inseasonnow #eatfamous #foodstyling #goodmoodfood #onthetable #heresmyfood #farmtotable #makeitdelicious #foodie #foodporn #foodgasm #delicious #hungry #yummy #dinnergram #foodismedicine #healthyfood #realfood #healthyfoodporn #ramen #bokchoy #miso #popsugarfood #rslove #savuermag #tastemade #theeverygirl⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thekitchn #todayfood
Happy Friday, beautiful people! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you been thinking about what meals you’ll be making this weekend? I’m having a hard time savoring all the end of summer produce (which is arguably the best produce of the year) when all I see is gourds, pumpkins, and acorn squash everywhere! Everyone seems to be in a rush to get to fall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If I’m honest, the most exciting fall vegetable for me is the humble beet. I used to loathe beets but once I figured out how to roast them, I am all in on them. They’re just delightful in salads and side dishes. Beyond the whole hand-staining thing, they’re pretty easy to work with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s your favorite end of summer/early fall fruit or veggie?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodismedicine #healthyfood #healthyeating #realfood #healthyliving #healthyfoodporn #nourish #produce #beets #veggies #fall #autumn #harvest #food #beautifulfood #foodstyling #seasonal #ABMfoodie #abmlifeiscolorful #foodphotography #foodie

This flat iron steak with basil aioli is a delicious weeknight meal, ready in about 25 minutes. This recipe can serve two if you're only having the steak and sauce, but it will serve four if you serve it with a few sides or a nice, large salad. I've been experimenting with sauces lately and discovered that I love aioli - it's rich and creamy deliciousness - and it's easy to make! . Enjoy!

I've been wanting to make this grilled. peach and tomato salad for ages! I just needed to wait till the peaches were sweet enough to try it out!

This is one of my favorite salads to make and I think you’ll love it too! It’s mango, avocado, and blueberry - with a bunch of herbs and a simple dressing. Yay for easy summer salads! I don’t know about you, but I have not been feeling extended kitchen time lately. I want to whack together quick, fresh meals and avoid the stove and oven at all costs (I make an exception for our BBQ grill!). This salad is great for a BBQ side (will serve 3 to 4 as a side) or a light lunch (will serve 2). Enjoy!
