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. 😋⠀ ⠀ Grab the recipe on the blog ☝ or drop your favorite happy emoji below and I'll DM you the link directly! 💃⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #kale #dinner #beefrecipe #mexicanbeef #shreddedbeef #burritobowl #healthyrecipe #eatingfortheinsta #healthydinnerrecipe #instantpotrecipes #instantpotrecipes #instantpotcooking #paleorecipe #whole30recipe #instayum #eeeeeats #forkyeah #f52grams #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #goodeats #mealprep #mealplanning #easyrecipes #healthyfood #foodprep #freezermeal
    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. 🤗 ❤️⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #toddlers #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimalistfashion #simplify #capsulewardrobe #capsulecloset #declutter #decluttering #declutteryourcloset #declutteryourhome #clutterfreecloset #decluttertips #clutterfreewithkids
    Confession: I don’t often make salads because, w 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! 🎇🇺🇸⠀ ⠀ Search for Best Mediterranean Quinoa Salad on the blog 👆🏻or message me for the link! ⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #chickpearecipe #dinner #pasta #healthyrecipe #mediterraneanrecipe #healthydinnerrecipe #saladrecipe #healthylunch #fourthofjulyfood #parsley #quinoarecipe #eeeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #goodeats #mealprep #mealplanning #easyrecipes #healthyfood #foodprep
    Me before 2020: It feels better to do stuff than t Me before 2020: It feels better to do stuff than to have stuff. Buy less. Live more. Get rid of all the stuff! 💃⠀ ⠀ Me now: When you can't go out and do stuff, having stuff to do is nice, and necessary. 🧸 🎸🎨🎲🧩⠀ ⠀ If you're like us, you've probably accumulated some extra stuff the last few months: toys, books, art supplies, house plants, exercise equipment, yoga pants, bicycles, baking tools... ⠀ ⠀ You likely also have bags and boxes of items to donate, but no where to drop them with many charitable organizations still closed or overwhelmed by a backlog of donations.⠀ ⠀ If you're like us, your house is more cluttered than you'd like it to be and decluttering feels harder now than ever before. ⠀ ⠀ You know what though? This is the reality of the season we're in, and when you can't go out and do stuff, having stuff to do at home is really nice. In this season of life we feel lucky to have more than we need. ⠀ ⠀ Wherever you are on your simplifying journey, this is just a little reminder give yourself some grace this season. Declutter what you can, when you can, 10 minutes at a time. Reach out to local shelters and organizations who might be in need of your donations. Welcome things into your home as needed to keep yourself sane and little ones busy. We’ll have plenty of time on the other side to minimize. 💕 ••• #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #toddlermama #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplify #declutter #decluttering #declutteryourhome #decluttertips #clutterfreewithkids #clutterfreeliving
