Healthy banana muffins made with wholesome ingredi

Healthy banana muffins made with wholesome ingredients in the blender? Heck yes! 🙌🏻

These Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are made with lentils (say what!?), oats, whole wheat flour, and have no added sugar aside from the chocolate chips — which add just enough melty, chocolatey sweetness to make these snack-worthy muffins double as dessert.

Get the recipe on the blog, or shoot me a DM and I’ll send you the link. 😋

Favorite meals in life, in order:⠀
1. Meals my kids eat⠀
2. Meals that make leftovers⠀
3. Instant Pot meals⠀
4. Meals that can be repurposed⠀
5. Burrito bowls with all 👏 the 👏 fixin's⠀
⠀
In my current season of life, I give bonus points to any recipe that I actually cannot mess up while wrangling two toddlers, checking email, or sneakily bingeing on Instagram stories.⠀
⠀
Let’s just say that this tender, savory, saucy Instant Pot Shredded Beef is racking up all the bonus points right now. It is mild in spice but loaded with Mexican-infused flavors —diced tomatoes, spices, and just a hint of tangy lime. In the last few weeks it's become burrito bowls, quesadillas, tacos, and nachos... and we're just getting started. 😋⠀

Want to create a more minimalist wardrobe but don’t know where to start? Do a wardrobe audit! 📝
⠀
So many of our clothing challenges stem from a lack of clarity. For many of us, what we think we like wearing and what we actually wear are two totally different things. This is how we end up with a closet full of clothes we hardly (if ever) wear.
⠀
For me these were expensive blazers, silk blouses, pencil skirts, and 4-inch heels that I wore back when I was a city-dwelling professional, before kids. Clarity came from acknowledging that's not who I am anymore. These days you can find me in high-waisted leggings and comfy t-shirts, or skinny jeans and oversized sweaters — and that's 90% of what you'll see in my closet now.
⠀
If you want to create a more minimalist wardrobe, start with an audit. Separate the things you like wearing and wear often from everything else. Look for commonalities in the things you love —like color, cut, and fabric– as these will help you get clear on what your style really is.
⠀
Then, take a long, hard look at what's left. Chances are the things you don't wear don't fit, flatter, or suit your current lifestyle.
⠀
Doing this will help you say “goodbye” to keeping and buying things you never wear and “hello” to a functional closet full of items you love. 🤗 ❤️⠀

Confession: I don’t often make salads because, well, the best ones usually involve more chopping than I care to put into a side dish. This salad though, it’s delicious and deceivingly low-maintenance thanks to canned chickpeas, pre-cooked quinoa, and this creamy 5-ingredient feta dressing that will blow your tastebuds away.

Not to mention you can prep all the components the day before, mix it the morning of, and enjoy leftovers for lunch later in the week. 🥙🙌🏻⠀

Serve it up for the Fourth and see why it’s one of our faves! 🎇🇺🇸⠀
