Soup simmering in the dutch oven is surely the ✨

Soup simmering in the dutch oven is surely the ✨vibe✨ this winter.I just sit in the kitchen while I work. Stir my soup occasionally. Light a candle. Play the Acoustic Winter playlist on Apple Music. Like I said...a ~~VIBE~~This is the Spicy Tomato Chickpea Stew from @thenewbaguette, but I used sweet potatoes instead because it's what I had. And I doubled the chickpeas, whoops.I mean, I feel like that's the concept of a soup. Use what you have. Let it simmer, play some tunes. Don't get it on your white pants. Etc. Etc.What are your favorite soups to make? Clearly, I'm currently on a kick.#soup #soupseason #wintervibes #chickpea #vegetablesoup #foodwriter #nutritionwriter

Look at me now, Dad. 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I've always had a love for words, but never in my wildest dreams did I think a love for science would also come with it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I made the decision this summer to take the next step in my career as a journalist and got a certificate from @stanford's Center of Health Education in Nutrition Science. It was one of the most challenging things I've ever had to do, and also the most rewarding.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've already applied so much of what I've learned to my work, getting into the nitty-gritty of nutrition science and being incredibly clear with my readers about the science surrounding their bodies and food. It's so nerdy, and I love it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm clearly posting this obviously for the attention (don't we all), but also to let you know that you should do the scary thing you've been wanting to do for yourself. You are worth the investment and the time. If you need me to be that person who says you should do it, then here I am. Take the course. Run the marathon. Start the business. Write the book. Whatever it is, do it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for always being so encouraging with my work! I love sharing my research and reporting with all of you, and I look forward to whatever comes next.

The sandwich and I have always had a complicated relationship.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First, I hated them. I had to eat one *every day* at school, and it was absolutely the worst. Soggy PB&J's just wasn't cutting it for me, folks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, I missed them but didn't allow myself to eat them anymore. Too many carbs, too many bad foods in it, and not enough vegetables. I would opt for a salad instead and always felt sad about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, I'm back to loving the sandwich again. But this time. I do it right. I load it with veggies. I add good lean proteins and healthy fats. I enjoy it on delicious homemade sourdough bread, or sprouted wheat (as pictured here).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sandwiches are truly one of the best-balanced meals. For this sandwich, we have:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥪 Complex carbs (Slices of sprouted whole wheat)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥪 Lean protein (Canned tuna)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥪 Healthy fat (Smashed avocado in the tuna)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥪 Fiber (veggies galore!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take this as a sign to reclaim those foods you love and don't let toxic diet culture tell you that you shouldn't eat them. Eat what you love AND find a way to load it up with all those good-for-you nutrients! I mean, how could you say no to such a colorful sandwich like this? And it's all thanks to those delicious veggies. A win-win, if you ask me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your favorite sandwich to make? I'm on the hunt for new recipes. Share below! 👇🏼
