In cooking class yesterday, we made Rainbow Vegetarian Pad Thai from @pinchofyum - what a delicious way to start a year of healthy cooking classes!

I just love incorporating vegetables into my favorite dishes. Lots of added fiber, vitamins, minerals (and color!) If you make this at home, don’t skimp on the fresh herbs and peanuts, they really made the dish pop. We also used 1/3 of the fish sauce, which reduced the sodium (without reducing the flavor). .

Look at these beautiful high protein snacks! Hummus, smoked salmon, perfect bars and hard boiled eggs. 😍

If you find you are getting hungry (or...#hangry ) then stop and fuel your body! I alway encourage clients to eat what is satisfying to them. Research has shown that foods high in protein, fiber, and fat are the most satiating.

Do you find yourself going on diet after diet, only to end up with a higher weight than before? Is your weight continually on your mind? Do you have a rocky relationship with food? Worry about what people think about your eating? Find yourself overeating or bingeing often only to feel guilt? Have you lost track of your hunger or fullness cues and rely on external factors like scales, family, friends or diet culture? .
.
If any of this resonates with you, you can benefit from learning how to eat intuitively! .
.
Studies have shown that intuitive eaters have a lower body mass index, lower triglycerides, higher HDL, More self confidence, self esteem, psychological hardiness, greater pleasure of eating, amongst many other benefits. .
.
Instead of starting a new diet in 2019, start a resolution to learn how to get in touch with your body, respect it, and fuel yourself in a loving a nurturing way. .

I love my cooking class! Today, we were supposed to make French bread to go with our shortcut paella and salad, but I forgot to buy yeast at the store. So I brainstormed with some participants about what we could do with the limited ingredients we had in the kitchen and the commissary. One student suggested we combine flour and Greek yogurt and make a naan/tortilla. .
.
Well, the commissary did’t have plain yogurt, just blueberry! 🤦🏻♀️ so that’s what we used! The end result was actually super good! .
.
.
But, most importantly, I was reminded how important it is to not take yourself too serious, try new things, take chances, and don’t be afraid to fail. If my students hadn’t done any of those things, we wouldn’t have this fun new skill and recipe! .
.

Who knew Greek Yogurt and Whole Wheat Flour could be so #tasty ??
