We don't actually use a lot of marinara in our hou We don't actually use a lot of marinara in our house, but I know this is a popular household staple so I wanted to share some options with you. When you are looking for an upgraded pasta sauce, my recommendations to look for are: ✔️Quality oil ✔️No added sugars ✔️Simple ingredients Bonus, add in some extra veggies to your sauce before serving! My favorite is Costco because it meets all those recommendations and I can get it cheaper!

Wine chats 🍷 I love wine, but as someone who v Wine chats 🍷 I love wine, but as someone who values health I don’t love that alcohol is a toxic substance. Yes, red wine has its benefits and the Dry Farm wine that I drink has zero sugar and the lowest alcohol I have found. That was until Bolixir. Bolixir makes mindfully low alcohol natural wines sourced from small family farms that use organic and biodynamic farming practices. They are infused with herbs, flowers and botanicals making wine you have never tasted before. Bolixir is made with the same standards of Dry Farm, but has even lower alcohol - 6-9% compared to almost 15% in conventional wines! They are lab tested to ensure they are sugar free (less than 1 gram / liter), low in sulfites (less than 75 ppm), no industrial additives and ultra low in alcohol leaving you feeling great! But the real question - do they taste good?! Yes! I have tried all four of their flavors and am a fan. Make sure to grab yourself a bottle of each delicious flavor ▫️Dandelion White ▪️Lavender Red ▫️Elderflower Bubbles ▪️Rose Blossom Bubbles Using the link in my bio (Discount Codes —-> Bolxir) also gets you a cute tote with your first purchase! If you give them a try, let me know what you think. 📷: @katemundo @dryfarmwines @bolixir #cleanwine #biodynamicwine #herbalwine #nosugarwine #lowsulfites #lowalcoholwine
It may not be as simple as impulse control! Durin It may not be as simple as impulse control! During my education I learned about four biological reasons for cravings. 🦠First up is bacterial. You know I geek out on gut health. 🤓. There are little tiny microbes that inhabit our gut and influence our health (or lack of health). Every person on this planet has “good workers” and “not so great workers” on the job. The goal, as with any company, is you have more good workers than bad, although unrealistic to have 100% great workers all the time! Guess what? Our workers influence what we crave. The good workers crave lots of fiber and veggies and our bad workers crave sugar. You are craving what your workers like to eat because they communicate with your brain via the vagus nerve. Candida, a particular yeast, is very common, very rampant and LOVES sugar! 🥦Second is nutritional cravings. If you don’t eat enough quality fat and protein this can cause blood sugar imbalances and the drops in blood sugar leave your body craving more quick sources of glucose to restabilize your levels. Certain nutrient and mineral deficiencies can also impact cravings. 🛏Physical cravings. Some of these can be controlled by choices we make (some can’t). For example, the female body tends to crave different foods throughout their cycle. Can’t really change that. On the other hand, poor sleep quality and stress can leave you craving carbs, snacky foods and sweets secondary to hormone shifts and increases in cortisol. These are areas we can work to improve. 😭Finally, emotional. This is the one I think most people think of - boredom, sadness, stress. Swipe for strategies to help you get to the bottom of your cravings! In some cases honoring your craving is okay. Consider some of the tactics on the second slide to see if it subsides. If it doesn’t, go ahead and mindfully allow yourself to indulge in the craving. Do you have cravings? Any idea which category yours fall into? #cravings #controllingcravings #cravingcarbs #cravingsugar #sugaraddict #sugaraddiction #carblover #balanceyourbody #balanceyourbloodsugar #bloodsugarcontrol #guthealth #guthealthmatters #supportyourgut
It's chili season! Beans ✔️ Tomatoes ✔️ S It's chili season! Beans ✔️ Tomatoes ✔️ Seasoning ✔️ When looking at packets of seasoning the things I try to look for are: ▪️chemical type ingredients - often in the form of an anti-caking agent ▪️added sugars ▪️enriched flours ▪️vague ingredients like “other seasoning” or “natural flavors” ▪️MSG ingredients in the form of Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Textured Vegetable Protein, Yeast Extract, mono__________ (fill in the blank) Unfortunately, I haven’t found a ton of options for already mixed packets or seasonings to add to your chili that I approve of, but it really is easy to make your own. Here is a quick recipe, but make sure to check out the two premixed options I did find and see if you can locate them wherever you live. 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon salt Make it your own - try oregano, coriander, cinnamon. What are your favorite add-ins to make the perfect chili? #swapthisforthat #chiliseason #chiliseasoning #fallrecipes #fallsoup #fallrecipes #footballfood #footballrecipes #tailgateparty #coolweathermeals
