Fall is my favorite foodie time of year, and I absolutely love making foods that feel cozy and crisp, like the season. Here are some particular faves, along with a couple that I'd really like to try out!
Conquering your Weight Watchers (WW) goals starts at the grocery store! This list equips you with essential staples to keep your kitchen stocked for delicious, satisfying meals that stay within your points budget. ZeroPoint Powerhouses: Load up on zero-point heroes like non-starchy fruits and vegetables. Think leafy greens, berries, cucumbers, zucchini, and lean protein sources like chicken breast and fish. These filling options keep you feeling satisfied without adding points. Smart Carbs for Staying Full: Stock your pantry with whole-wheat options like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat pasta. These complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy without spiking your points. Flavorful and Filling Snacks: Don't let hunger cravings derail your progress! Keep healthy, low-point snacks on hand like Greek yogurt with berries, hard-boiled eggs, baby carrots with hummus, or air-popped popcorn with spices. Spice Up Your Meals: Add flavor and variety without extra points with herbs, spices, and sugar-free condiments. Experiment with different combinations to keep your meals exciting. Healthy Fats for Feeling Full: Don't fear healthy fats! They keep you feeling satiated and add flavor. Stock up on options like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Remember, portion control is key. Frozen Friends: Frozen fruits and vegetables are a lifesaver. Keep them on hand for smoothies, quick side dishes, or adding nutrients to soups and stews. They're a convenient and affordable way to boost your veggie intake. Pantry Staples for Easy Meals: Having a well-stocked pantry with essentials like low-sodium canned beans, whole-wheat tortillas, and brown rice noodles allows you to whip up healthy and delicious meals in no time. By keeping these staples on hand, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the grocery store and make smart choices that support your WW journey. Remember, planning and preparation are key to success!

I drink about 8 - 10 cups of tea a day. To say I am serious about my tea game is an understatement. I am obsessed. I use the same cup every day.

If you have a friend who loves tea too - here are some ideas.

because mexican food can be elevated, and it can also be street food. it has so many faces and flavors that not only one version of your abuelitas cocina is true, from north to south, there is so much richness and variety that is hard for one single mexican to even know the complexity and the full variety of it. Every corner of mexico is capable of its own version of mole, barbacoa, or tacos and its so beautiful to experience all of it without judgement and with openness to appreciate. this post is to showcase some of the modern mexican concept restaurants that I am so happy to see thrive in a place like Denver. That for sooo many years you could not find a vast or true representation of all that is Mexican cuisine can be. I am also a fan of the aesthetics and the experience bc I am also *just a girl* so these are honestly a fave for date nights, girls night, or a celebratory dinner spot.
