dried parsley flakes

Greek Spice Blend

By Jen

One of the easiest ways to feed a crowd, whether that be your family or if you’re simply entertaining is to go buffet-style. Think taco bar, chili bar, or these Greek Chicken Mediterranean Bowls. Grilled veggies like eggplant and zucchini, chickpeas, feta, tomatoes, rice/quinoa, cucumbers, fresh herbs like mint and oregano, and tangy Greek dressing are the perfect DIY base for grilled Greek-spiced chicken. Mix up a batch of this Greek Spice Blend, and you’ll be ready for a quick weeknight dinner or for a weekend of entertaining, with plenty leftover for future meals and meal prep.

Beating the midweek slump with these easy taco bow Beating the midweek slump with these easy taco bowls.πŸ˜πŸŽ‰ These bowls are a great example of #simplenutrition - that eating for health can be (and ideally should be):
βœ”οΈ delicious
βœ”οΈ satisfying
βœ”οΈ easy, unfussy
βœ”οΈ flexible (especially key when you're getting meals on the table for an entire household)

This meal is a balance of protein, fat, and carbs, and includes plenty of colorful, fiber-rich plant-y foods and vegetables. #balancedplate

It came together easily because I incorporated leftovers and batch-cooked foods. Lazy #mealprep for the win! πŸŽ‰

Check out my stories for all the details, but here's the gist:

πŸ‘‰ ground turkey (and leftover diced onion and pepper) cooked in taco spices
πŸ‘‰ creamy buttermilk red cabbage slaw
πŸ‘‰ light red kidney beans (from freezer batch-cooking stash)
πŸ‘‰ fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime #zing
πŸ‘‰ Trader Joe's quinoa chips crumbled on top for some satisfying #crunchfactor (because a variety of textures in a meal really satisfies! #kitchenskills)

Cheers to trying new things.πŸŽ‰ What new things a Cheers to trying new things.πŸŽ‰ What new things are you trying this weekend? #growthandchange 
I cooked some #wholegrain teff this morning, and topped it with banana, toasted walnuts, Greek yogurt, honey, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Pretty tasty!

not pictured: some turkey bacon in the side 😍

I am going to continue to experiment with different cooking methods with this grain, and see what the fam and I like best.πŸ™‚

If you're looking to ditch the nutrition overwhelm If you're looking to ditch the nutrition overwhelm, give a #balancedplate approach a try. It's an easy way to adopt a way-of-eating that helps you:

βœ”οΈ meet your energy and nutrient needs to keep you feeling energized from one meal to the next, and also serve your longer-term health goals (no obsessive tracking or counting necessary!)
βœ”οΈ build satisfying meals that taste good *to you* #youdoyou
βœ”οΈ And it frees up your energy and headspace to *enjoy* eating your meals (instead of stressing over them).

Think you'll give it a try?
πŸ‘‰ start with foods you actually enjoy eating
πŸ‘‰ aim to include protein, a slow-acting fiber-rich carb, plenty of veggies, and some healthy fats in your meal
πŸ‘‰ aim for non-starchy veggies to equal about 2x amount of your carb (Don't be rigid about it.)
πŸ‘‰ No, you don't have to eat a balanced plate 100% of the time. That's unrealistic, and unnecessary. #thatslife
πŸ‘‰ Savor the meal, enjoy the experience. Put down your fork now and then between bites, and take a few breaths. This not only enhances the experience, but also helps you be more in tune with your hunger and fullness cues. 

❓
Have you tried this approach?
If you have, how did you make it work for you?
What did "flexibility" look like for you?

❓
If you haven't tried this before, do you think this could help simplify mealtime and nutrition for you?

I'm here for the basics *that work*. How 'bout you I'm here for the basics *that work*. How 'bout you??

Sounds too simple to be true, but the basics *do* work. 

❓
πŸ‘‰ Which basic are you already dialed into?
πŸ‘‰ Which basic are you working on?
πŸ‘‰ Which basic could you use some support and coaching with?

❓
πŸ‘‰ 'Fess up: which ones on the left side have you tried? 

Me?
βœ”οΈ I am pretty dialed into the food basics, and a balanced plate that works for me. (FYI, didn't happen overnight!)
βœ”οΈ I love to walk, and do it almost daily. I do resistance training regularly.

πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I'm working on chilling out at mealtime and slowing down. #eatingskills

πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I'm a work in progress on sleep. Slowly improving. 

πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈMy quick-fix fail?  I tried ignoring my hunger cues. Epically backfired.

Which basics are you embracing? 
Which #quickfix strategies have you ditched for good, and why?
