Remember Blue’s Clues ?! I sing that song every time I hear a delivery person on my porch : ) The above springy wine selection came from Winc today. I swapped out the bottles of red planned for this month for all white/roses and discovered that had some CANS in the mix! I love canned wine because I have one and don’t have to “worry” about what to do with the rest of the bottle (drink it? let it slowly deteriorate over 3 nights?) I always stick to the $13 bottles from Winc and have never been disappointed! Also on my doorstep was a fun gift package from Health Warrior . I love these bars! Chia! Real food! Flavor! Their new protein line is great too. I picked Mazen up from school, and he had this little wheat grass pet to bring home. We can’t wait to see if it grows! On our way home, Mazen pointed to his calves and said “I have muscles in my legs here!” I told him they were his calves and that they were strong because he’s a super biker! They are nice, though, aren’t they?! I

^^That sums up my morning for ya! Don’t you hate it when the dishwasher is clean and you have to empty everything and then fill ‘er right back up? That’s next on my agenda. Then I’m going to pick up my sweet little boy who spent last night with his dad. It’s a dreary sweatpants kind of day over here, so we’ll probably build some forts or snuggle through a movie together. This morning I created a new recipe for Quaker for an upcoming post, and polished up two posts for the rest of this week. Then I jetted off to the gym for strength class! It was a great combination of upper and lower body, so I am feeling tired from head to toe. Note the super red face! After a shower and five peanut butter pretzels (can’t stop, won’t stop), I finished up the photography for my oatmeal squares and then had one for lunch! Since that was carb-based, I had a piece of leftover BBQ chicken for my protein component. We’re super low on veggies in the fridge, so I am totally lacking today! Mazen and I

Anxiety: Are Nutritional Deficiencies a Common Cause?

Image
As big-brained hominids, humans have the unique ability to think about the future. The very fact that we can perceive and plan for the time ahead has allowed us to conquer the earth, but it comes with a downside: anxiety.  If extreme rumination on past events characterizes depression, worrying about imagined future scenarios describes anxiety. This inherent capacity and human tendency to think ahead must be reined in and controlled. One way we can do that is make sure we’re getting enough of the nutrients that studies indicate may play an etiological role in anxiety. This is different from  supplements that treat anxiety. There’s obviously overlap, and some of the deficiencies mentioned today can be corrected by supplementing, but I’m focusing on essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals, and other food-borne compounds—that play important roles in regulating anxiety levels. Magnesium This is the part where I’m supposed to say something about magnesium regulating over 400 physiologic

Good morning and happy hump day! Is “live blogging” the best name for these kind of days?! Might get confused with Facebook/Insta Live which is literally  live . I guess I should simplify and just say “I’m blogging today!” ^^Purple berry smoothie bowl with Nature’s Path granola. I am heading to the kitchen to make some oatmeal bars for Quaker, so my house is about to smell amazing! Last night Sarah and I went to Pippin Hill Farm for a little event they were hosting to showcase their reserve room, which they use for small private events, dinners, and more. I love the terrace and view! We sipped bubbly Rosé and ate fried quail with a curry sauce and potatoes with crème fraîche and caviar! Wanna grab lunch together today?!
