To be honest, this post felt really heavy to write

To be honest, this post felt really heavy to write. My heart hurts for the MILLIONS of families & children who will lose benefits they rely on to meet a basic need. SNAP not only fights hunger, but malnutrition giving more children (& people) the ability to grow, learn & thrive. Please know that whether you think this affects you or not, it does. About 1 in 8 Americans receive SNAP benefits, so if you don’t, it’s likely you know someone that does. And if you can, consider helping out those in need, especially as we head into the holiday months. Because everyone deserves to have food on their table.

Sobremesa — a word with no direct English translat

Sobremesa — a word with no direct English translation and I can, unfortunately, understand why. In Spain, and other Latin American countries, they sobremesa, that is, spend time at the table after a meal, talking, connecting, laughing. In the US, we typically don’t, but I wish we did. So here’s my digital sobremesa — the first of many, I hope.

Food nourishes our bodies and our hearts. It feeds

Food nourishes our bodies and our hearts. It feeds us nutrients, but also joy. And there’s no better way to enjoy it than sharing it with others.

Making memories around the table has never been easier or more delicious than with @masienda new quesadillas available at @wholefoods. They come in three tasty flavors (classic cheese is my favorite!), are protein-rich and are made with the most amazing corn tortillas. Plus - the stretchy queso Oaxaca is sourced from a third-generation, family-owned Mexican cheesemaker 🇲🇽

These are now a staple in our freeze & on our table!

Ps - This plate has about 22g of protein and 8g of fiber (~ 1/3 of a women’s daily needs). Snack plates, as we lovingly call these in my house, are the perfect meal for busy adults and choosy kiddos. They are a great way to add variety, fun and lots of beneficial nutrients!
