The Abstainer / Moderator Theory

When it comes to abstainer/moderator traits, there is no good or bad. These are personality indicators of who we are. The fight comes in when we want to be something we are not. But understanding what these indicators are and making adjustments to our decisions and routines is key to sustainable nutrition changes.

Coming to Terms with My Food Addiction

In October of 2020, I had been on a strict macro counting regiment for almost 6 months. My goal was to lose the baby weight from two children and depressive eating patterns I had sustained over the previous 4 and a half years. It was working. But something was coming undone in my head. A voice I had kept in check for the previous 6 months.

Classic Tomato Soup (Paleo, Whole30, Keto)

I’m a big believer that eating some warm, nourishing soups in the thick of winter is an essential part of wellness. The broth and slow cooking is a boon for our sluggish digestion. And slurping the warm elixir comforts us, right down to our cold bones.

Tomato soup screams snow day comfort. But to be completely honest, I was never that into Campbell’s tomato soup. The texture made me think I was drinking hot tomato juice. Which just didn’t do it for me.

I love this recipe because it has a nice texture without sacrificing taste and nostalgia.

Feeding My Highly Sensitive Preschooler

I can’t remember when it dawned on me that my son is a HSP, but that understanding was a gift. This knowledge opened a line of communication between us and acceptance from me. When it comes to feeding, his HSP character trait is a big factor in our success. To an average observer, he would probably appear picky. But he’s not. He loves lamb Epic bars and eats peppers like candy. He loves a wide variety of textures and flavor but has a very low tolerance for new foods. The difference between picky and sensitive is nuanced, but matters when developing a strategy for successful feedings.

Sheet Pan Fajitas

I love sheet pan meals.

One pan and it cuts back on dishes, on time, and maximizes flavor. Win/Win/Win!

This recipe is awesome because it checks the box for so many nutritional preferences. Without any modification, it’s Keto, Paleo, and Whole30.
