My favorite part of summer is cooking fresh health My favorite part of summer is cooking fresh healthy meals while it’s still light out ☀️ This is a pistachio tofu with a delicious zucchini rice summer salad 🥗 inspired by @soulsyncbody 

Recipe ⬇️ 
pistachio tofu ingredients—
2 slices of high protein/extra firm tofu (about 2/5 of 1 block)
1/4 cup pistachios
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp agave
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice

zucchini rice salad ingredients—
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup mint, finely chopped
1 zucchini, diced
salt & pepper
lemon squeeze
drizzle of olive oil

Instructions:
01 Start by slicing your tofu and scoring each side. Be careful not to accidentally cut it in half! Stir together the marinade and add to a shallow bowl. Let the tofu marinate while you prep the rest of the meal.

02 Cook your brown rice. Meanwhile, chop up your zucchini and toss with a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Air fry at 375 for about 10 min. While that’s baking chop up your mint and cherry tomatoes.

03 Once your tofu has marinated for at least 20 minutes, cover the top with chopped pistachios. If your pistachios aren’t salted, add a pinch of salt. Add to the air fryer and bake at 375 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. Keep your eye on them to make sure the pistachios don’t burn.

04 Add the zucchini rice salad ingredients together - brown rice, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mint, olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper - toss then divide between 2 plates. Serve with one of the tofu fillets.

Enjoy!

grandma core 💐🥕🥞🪴🐶 I’ve been em grandma core 💐🥕🥞🪴🐶 

I’ve been embracing slow living these days. Nancy meyers type of grandma hood, tending to the garden and crocheting🪴🧶 

Some things I’ve been prioritizing in grandma hood:

~daily morning pages. just writing down absolutely everything on my mind the first few minutes of the day to clear my mind.

~growing fresh produce. this has been such a fun one, I have 2 raised beds and a bunch of fruit trees in my yard and eating my own food I grew myself makes me slow down and appreciate it so much more!

~reading >> tv/tiktok. idk about you guys but social media has been rotting my a brain a lil bit. reading feels sooo much better mentally.

~mocktails >> cocktails. I rarely drink alcohol anymore and it’s done wonders for my mind and my skin. look for for mocktail content from me in the near future!

~chai and matcha >> coffee. coffee gives me jitters and anxiety, and that just does not align with grandma hood! I use chamberlain coffee’s chai and matcha, both are sooo so delicious and imo better than coffee.

Sweet Potato Macro Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
sweet potato macro bowl

This Sweet Potato Macro Bowl is one of my favorite meals to meal prep. It has the perfect balance of carbs, fat, and protein, and is packed with a ton of micronutrients. If you’re not a fan of sweet potato, feel free to sub it for any other starchy carb like purple potatoes, regular white potatoes, extra brown rice, unrefined pasta, etc.

sweet potato macro bowl in meal prep containers

Balanced Macro Bowl

Macro bowls don’t have any strict guidelines, but for the most part equate to a diverse bowl with balanced macros. To make sure your macro bowl is adequately balanced, you’ll need the following macronutrients:

  • Carbs. In this meal, the main carb used is the sweet potato. I also added a small amount of brown rice and 3/4 cup chickpeas which are great sources of complex carbohydrates. If you’re a carb lover like me, check out the book The Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougall to learn how to be healthy and actually lose weight eating a lot of starchy carbs like rice and potatoes. 
  • Fat. The fat in this bowl comes from the tahini based dressing. If you don’t like tahini, swap it for cashew butter – it’s pretty equal in terms of it’s calories and fat content. 1 tbsp of tahini is 89 calories and 8g of fat while 1 tbsp of cashew butter is 94 calories and 8g of fat. I tend to lean towards tahini as cashews are a high FODMAP food and irritate those who suffer from IBS or SIBO. If you do have IBS or SIBO, you can absolutely have cashew butter, just don’t have it in large quantities or eat it every single day. 
  • Protein. The protein in this bowl comes from the chickpeas, sweet potato, tahini based dressing, and brown rice totaling in 17g of protein. Each person is completely different but on average women need around 46g of protein per day and men need 56g of protein per day.

Macro Bowl Measuring Devices

If you are following a recipe or making a macro bowl of your own, you’ll need proper measuring devices. Measuring cups, measuring spoons, and a kitchen scale are MUSTS. I don’t count calories or macros religiously, but macro bowls are all about balanced macronutrients so reliable measuring devices are super helpful. Here are the ones I own:
