CHICKEN ZUCCHINI NUGGETS – Whole30, Paleo, Keto,

CHICKEN ZUCCHINI NUGGETS – Whole30, Paleo, Keto, gluten-free, dairy-free. This kid-friendly handheld protein-veggie combo is a protein source that kids of all ages can enjoy! The ingredients are simple and inexpensive and this can be cooked in a pan on the stove or your airfryer.

5-ingredients (not counting salt & pepper), budget-friendly, and they freeze fantastically, so double batch and freeze the extras for a busy or unmotivated night.

Side note: You should laugh every time you see a hand holding food photo on my feed. Behind it is some child I bribed to hold it who is complaining how tired their arm is – ha! And it only took me an hour to figure out how to make this 7-second video. Someday I hope to be as cool as @stephanie_may .

MAKING BIRTHDAYS SPECIAL DURING CORONAVIRUS – Bi

MAKING BIRTHDAYS SPECIAL DURING CORONAVIRUS – Birthday’s in our house are magical. But, that magic felt a little less sparkly as we thought about our three April birthdays that wouldn’t be able to have a birthday party, friends, or birthday outings.

I thought long and hard about how to make a birthday at home still feel special. Then it hit me – a YES DAY birthday!

YES Day is a made up holiday we celebrate every year the week before school starts. It’s my boy’s favorite holiday only to Christmas. The basic premise is that, for a day, the answer to any question is YES. There are most definitely rules, a budget, a start and end time, etc. Their escapades are rarely grand, but you’d be surprised how thrilling it is for a child to have all YES answers for a day.

So, we had my 10 year old’s YES birthday yesterday. He stayed in PJs most the day, didn’t do any chores or school work, had a smattering of treats throughout the day, played video games to his heart’s content, we ate his favorite meals, and even ended with watching Star Wars AND him gaming at the same time. I know, wild party over here.

I knew we hit on something when my 12 year old was upset because his birthday had already passed and he wouldn’t get a YES day birthday. I don’t know it would be as much fun if we didn’t already have a clear schedule for him to then dictate as he chose, but it fit perfectly with the sheltering at home.

Sharing here for any other parents struggling to make their kiddo’s birthday special the next few months. Link in bio for all the details on our YES day rules.

What else have you done to make birthday’s special right now?

PALEO MINI “CORNDOGS” – Paleo, GF/DF, and tr

PALEO MINI “CORNDOGS” – Paleo, GF/DF, and tree nut-free. These are a kid favorite in our household, taking a classic and making it less inflammatory. Win-win! Great for a fun family dinner or a party and enjoyed by little and big kids alike 😉. My kids love helping on this one by cutting the hot dogs into fourths and then poking the toothpick into them. We love to use the all-natural @hebrewnational_ dogs that we find at Trader Joe's or Target.

Friday someone asked me if I was pregnant. I am SO

Friday someone asked me if I was pregnant. I am SO not (that shop is closed!), but anyone who’s had that question knows how it messes with your self-worth.

I was shopping and already working hard to keep my emotions non-triggered due to the high stress that has come to this used-to-be-so-simple task. It came from a past Zumba participant who hadn’t seen me in a year. She was so convinced I must be pregnant, when I nicely said no, she followed up with, “Are you sure?” This encounter then proceeded to dredge up self-worth skeletons I haven’t faced in a long time. Including: - The desire to immediately burn a bajillion calories with exercise OR
- To stop eating, eat less, not eat sweets, try IF or Keto again, etc.
- A lot of negative self-talk

The funny thing is, for the half-day I decided I needed to eat less/eat less sweets as I demeaned myself, I face-planted into sweets TWICE. Beating yourself up and self-demoralizing restriction is a great way to then feel awful, which easily leads to emotional eating. It’s a vicious cycle.

My skeletons and I wrestled for a day. But, I have worked TOO DAMN HARD to love myself and they were not winning.

Nothing extreme here – just a loving reminder to myself that I feel awesome when I eat a lot of veggies and drink my water, and to ask myself if it’s really worth it to have that sweet. When I give myself that love, the food struggle calms and I can truly take care of myself, which leads to getting back to my best self all around.

Stop beating yourself up – it only makes things worse and often propels the binging cycle. And it’s ok to be struggling with food right now. Focus on being intentional with what DOES nourish you (for me it’s meals with protein/healthy fat/plate full of veggies, and getting my water in). Can I get an AMEN?
