If you can't tell what the herb or spice is after taking a blind sniff then the seasoning has lost its place in your pantry 😁

Essential oil degradation starts about 6-12 months even with proper storage in an air tight container in a cool, dry place.

What does this mean? It means no flavor & no medicinal benefits from the herbs and spices you love. Might as well season your food with dust at this rate.

Stock your shelves with what you use and use up what you have ✨

Are you actually hungry when you eat or are you emotionally triggered? Next time you take a bite take a moment to:

1. Tap into your body
2. Observe the presence or absence of Hunger Cues

If you observe Hunger Cues you are actually hungry. If you do not then you are likely Emotionally Hungry.

😋 What are Hunger Cues?

Physical cues that let you know it's time to fuel up. These cues typically occur at regular intervals throughout your day. They will physically be felt in your stomach & sometimes your throat (growling stomach, hollow throat). Your energy levels and mood may drop. Your ability to focus and regulate your nervous system will decrease. These cues are caused by physical depletion of fuel & energy which lowers blood sugar and releases 'hunger hormones'.

😋 Why do so many people struggle to pick up on these cues?

Simple, they are complex 😂 As you grow up & learn to manage information with your brain you sometimes lose connection to your bodily signals. Mind over matter, so to speak. Work & stress & busy schedules & social norms get in the way, emotions block physical cues, lack of finances leads to inaccessibility of dietary needs, etc.

😋 What happens when you ignore hunger cues?

Your mind takes over for survival, shielding you from the uncomfortable effects of inadequate fuel. Caffeine can also help mask the symptoms of hunger. This may seem like a good option short term so you can get through the work day or whatever but it often leads to Emotional Eating later. Ignoring Hunger Cues regularly over time may look like slow metabolism, stunted hunger cues, hormonal imbalance, chronic physical & mental illness, and disconnected mind-body relationship.

😋 What causes Emotional Hunger?

Several factors: stress, need for comfort (think food from childhood), specific people or events (like family gatherings), unresolved feelings, trauma.

😋 How do you manage Emotional Hunger?

Observe your whole self honestly. Make a plan of action that is actually attainable. Be patient & kind with yourself while also holding yourself accountable for your goals. Work with a professional to safely & effectively help heal your mind - body relationship.

This Summer's seasonal highlight is Greek Yogurt 😄

Why Greek Yogurt and why not Cucumber, Dill, Blueberry, or one of the other seasonal delicacies harvested this time of year? Because Greek Yogurt is the perfect vehicle for nutrients on these hot Summer days when eating feels more like a burden than a recharge. Eating cold, nutrient dense, easy to digest foods like Greek Yogurt is helpful during heat waves. You can jazz it up sweet or savory with seasonal fruits & berries, veggies, and herbs.

What's Great About Greek Yogurt:

🤍 Protein source - 20 g per cup on average
🤍 Electrolytes - significant amount of phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, and potassium to help balance our fluids, stay hydrated, support muscles, strengthen bones, and promote healthy nerve function
🤍 Probiotics - natural source of gut healthy bacteria
🤍 Available in no, low, and high fat to suit your personal nutritional needs
🤍 Available year-round in most places and easy to make at home if not
🤍 Vitamins - high in vitamins B12 and A which we need to replenish more often when we sweat

If you're like me, your appetite and will to cook over heat decreases during the dog days of Summer. This is why I prepare more Greek Yogurt dips like Tzatziki, Creamy Pesto, and Ranch. Dip crunchy vegetables or pieces of meat into them and smother salads or sandwiches with them, it's so quick & easy & nutritious. Recipe for Ranch is on my website blog, 🔗 in bio.
