Day 5 of living gluten-free! It’s not been an easy week, especially for someone that loves all things gluten. I had a mini breakdown last night but I didn’t crack! I would love to hear about others who were former carb-queens (or kings) that were able to kick the gluten habit. I am struggling with finding things to eat that don’t include meat. I’m loving this breakfast smoothie with coconut oil, sunflower seeds, cocoa, & peanut butter.

Day 1 of living low-carb! I’ve been struggling with feeling sluggish and weird pains, irregular cycles and headaches for so long. After reading @annlouisegittleman I am going to try it out. I’m not one to eat low-carb so this will be interesting! But I am excited to try it and see how I feel - I’m just nervous because I’m not a big meat eater. Have you tried living low-carb before? #lowcarb #lowcarbvegetarian #livinglowcarb #hormoneimbalance #hormonehealth #lowcarbliving #lowcarbdiet

These two girls love to be outside, like most dogs! One of them will stay outside all day long but hates getting splashed with water and of course swimming. The other one only likes to be outside with my husband and loves swimming and any water activities! The are so funny. So very different but they are the best of friends from the very first moment they met.

We spent part of the day at a swimming hole at a river! The kids (and my brother) jumped in at this spot! They estimated it was about 10’ deep! That was not for me. Would you do it? #swimminghole #vermontlife #july4th #summerfun☀️ #selfcareactivities #summerfun2020 #funinthesun☀️ #splishsplash💦 #familyfunday

Happy July 4th! My kids made this amazing cake. I struggle with this holiday and this year it’s bittersweet to be with my brother and his family for my dads 5th angelversary that also falls on my grandmas birthday tomorrow. I haven’t seen my family in 7 months and I’m so grateful we’ve been super careful and #stayinghome so that we were able to visit to be together for this event. #missingmyparents #family #july4th

It was a gorgeous afternoon at the beach yesterday. It started out cloudy and my 9yo wanted to go home but we ended up checking out these tide pools and looking for cool rocks and watching the snails make their way across the sand. So incredibly relaxing to spend the afternoon doing this. We all deserve to take a break from everything and marvel in the beauty of nature. #selfcare #mainelife #yorkmaine #dayoffwellspent

We went for a really nice hike yesterday in the woods. The kids probably were hoping for a great view but this is what we found. So quiet, peaceful and still. #hikingtrails #quarantinelife #stillquarantined #summer2020

It’s definitely been a struggle these last few months to stay active in the midst of a pandemic. It’s stressful and different and I just wanted to crawl under the covers and sleep through this thing. But we can’t do that. We can’t neglect ourselves. We have to be good to ourselves or we WILL shut down and won’t be able to get ON WITH OUR LIVES. We are still living! We still have to be good to ourselves. #selfcare #selfcaretip #selflovequotes #selfcaredaily #selfcare

It’s that time of year! 😣 Pollen in New England is so high right now and my sinuses are pinching me. I’ve tried Allegra AND my trusty essential oils. What is your allergy go-to solution? #essentialoils #springinnewengland #allergies #allergiesgotmelike

Day #4 of Ramadan and I made an apple galette! Only a few more minutes before we can enjoy it. #ramadan2020 #iftarrecipes #cookingathome

My 9yo has been hosting cooking class everyday at noon. This was today’s lesson! #quarantinelife #quarantinecooking #quarantinebaking #kidscooking #betterthanschoolwork

Shelling almonds with my 7yo helper for Ramadan goodies and Annie is waiting for some to be dropped! She loves this game. #dogsofinstagram #ramadan2020 #doglife

One thing I’ve really missed the last 6 weeks is cilantro. Usually my husband goes to Costco but I finally got to go out to the grocery store and scored me lots of this gorgeous cilantro. #quarantine #quarantinefood #lovemyherbs

It’s waffle day in our house! My husband got this amazing waffle maker a few months ago and it’s been so nice to have during this quarantine period. Our favorite recipe that we use EVERY time is the Perfect Every Time Homemade Waffles from @barefeetkitchen. #quarantine #waffles #wafflemaker

Gorgeous day to get out of the house and away from the news. #covid_19😷 #quarantine2020

What are you making for dinner tonight? I’ve been struggling to feed my family + one since I have absolutely no motivation to cook without structure or a schedule. Beans are my fallback. I ❤️ beans. Beans are the most complete and nutritious food. They have more protein than most other vegetables and they are full of energy-sustaining complex carbohydrates, folate and fiber. Here are just a few of the benefits of beans: lowered cholesterol levels, improved blood glucose control, lowered risk of many cancers, lowered blood pressure, and regulated colon functions. #healthyfood #healthyliving #beans #coronarecipes #healthyrecipes

A little corona virus self care today! I used a @lushcosmetics hot golden handshake since my hands were super dry from all of this hand washing! I think I used too much water but it was still so soothing and relaxing! #selfcare #selfcaretips #selfcarecorona #corona

What’s your go-to quick pasta dish? Mine is this tomato, zucchini and feta cheese sauce dish - it’s so delicious! Even the leftovers. I sauté the tomatoes in olive oil and then add the zucchini and garlic once the tomatoes are soft. Add salt, pepper and oregano. Fresh basil if you have any! You can basically add any veggies to this - spinach, peas, etc. #healthyrecipes #healthyvegetarianrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #weeknightdinners #weeknightmeals #easyrecipes #myhusbandgotpastaatcostco

Breakfast of champions right here...I love this amazingly nutritious and filling breakfast after being down for 5 days! You know that crazy hunger you feel after having the flu and not being able to eat anything? #healthybreakfast #healthybreakfastideas #healthybreakfasts #oatmeal
