29 today 🎈
up up and away to the last year of my 20s. 👋👋👋
(no huge takeaways other than wow 28 was a tough one. proud of myself for starting my official career as a PA last year of all years. endlessly grateful to my support network who provided levity and buoyancy when things felt impossibly heavy. and as always always always THANK YOU for being here and floating along on this journey with me)
((maybe 29 will be the year I speak less parenthetically))
(((unlikely)))

Mid-week and sick of your meal prep already? Same.

Mid-week and sick of your meal prep already? Same.
Might I suggest a vegetarian meal kit ordered from @lifealive? I got to team up with this favorite restaurant of mine, and they came up with this AMAZING spread - tofu sofritas tacos and braised jackfruit tacos with chipotle braised black beans, cilantro brown rice, cilantro lime sauce, mango salsa, marinated purple cabbage, feta queso dip, peppers + onions, pickled red onions, and DIY guacamole kit. It’s a TON and all of the flavors sing so harmoniously together! Plus, the heirloom corn tortillas are from a local farm in Hadley, MA. Link in my bio to check it out! Code LEMONS21 gets you FREE delivery (not an affiliate code, just a sweet discount!). #twistoflemons

Don’t you wish you could just copy paste(a) this into your kitchen for dinner? I don’t blame you. It’s the “pasta with sausage and arugula” from @astockwell for @bonappetitmag. I’ve made it a few times now, including for a small dinner party, and it’s always a hit. Nestled cozily in my @caraway_home pan (non-stick and non-toxic and so easy to clean). Link to a discount in my bio! #twistoflemons #gifted

A LOT can change in a year. For example, you can wake up with 8 new sprouted grey hairs seemingly out of nowhere.
Reflecting a lot lately on this time last year. It was punctuated mostly with sobbing in my living room pacing around and allotting myself one 30 minute walk per day. Some of my best friends and family members (including my dad who’s over 60) are front line workers, and I was terrified. I felt so incredibly helpless, useless and guilty just sitting on my license without working (there was a hiring freeze on the job I now have, so instead of finishing the interview process in March, I finished in May).
And now I’m working alongside the most incredible colleagues in family medicine and at our respiratory clinic caring for patients with COVID symptoms.
I’ve been hearing the anecdotes of what it was like in clinic a year ago - so much uncertainty and fear, but also camaraderie and solidarity amongst the team. Light and hope in the otherwise inescapable darkness. It’s been an honor to work alongside these incredible humans, and I couldn’t envision a better first job experience.
Still a lot of emotions, and still a lot of sobbing in my living room. Some new grey hair, too. But feeling a bit more hopeful lately and like there could be a light somewhere on the horizon.
Hope and light on a 🌞day even though it’s raining and pretty grey outside. #twistoflemons

This isn’t meant to be a “what I eat in a day post.” Because the reality is I took this picture over the weekend and is not what I ate today.
It’s instead aimed to emphasize how I eat seasonally - intentionally adding in more omega-3s, vitamin D, and prebiotic fiber to help with the inevitable dry skin, vitamin D deficiency, and seasonal blues that accompany winter. While I’m THRILLED that it’s finally feeling like a thawed out springtime, here’s how I’m focusing on good mood food this week:
- Omega-3s and vitamin D from salmon (avocado is a great omega-3 source, too!)
- As many different colors for variety of phytonutrients
- And on that note, overall VARIETY in color and macronutrient content
- Polyphenols from dark chocolate (so good for gut health!)
- Ample various forms of prebiotic fiber - oats, cassava flour, flax seed- in my oat bake and quinoa in stuffed peppers
- Lots of water
- Not pictured: gratitude with meal time because having access to all of this nutrient dense food is a gift I don’t ever want to take for granted

What I think my fridge sees when I’m talking about my meal prep vs what it actually sees #😉 #🥴
TY @lizmorsephotography for agreeing to this embarrassing shoot. If you’ve never taken meal prep photos in front of your fridge wearing a black slip + ridiculous coat that resembles a golden doodle, highly recommend.
