Sweet Potato Flag Toast

Officially #obsessedwiththis 
.
Breakfast is 🇺🇸 Sweet Potato 🍠 Toast with Coconut Almond Butter + Strawberries 🍓 + Banana 🍌 + Blueberries 
.
Delicious!!! The options are ENDLESS! Sweet, Savory, Spicy! My Brain Oven is on overload with ideas right now!!!! 
.
For this one, I peeled a couple sweet potatoes then sliced into 3/4" slices and baked on a baking sheet at 435F for about 10 minutes, then flipped and baked for 10-15 more minutes, until they are crusty on the outside and softened in the middle. Then I cooled completely and stored in a sealed container in the fridge! 
.
👉This am, I reheated 2 on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, then topped with my nut butter and fruit!  Stay tuned for tomorrow! 😜

Mango Magic

☀️When it's hot, there's nothing quite like a fruit salad to quincy your appetite and your thirst! And, it makes a simple and beautiful compliment to any meal!

Lately we have been Mowing Down some mangos around here! They are SO yummy alone and in so many recipes! But did you know this "King of Fruits"  actually has some truly amazing healthy benefits too!  Try them in fruit salad, in Tacos and Mango Salsa over Fish, Chicken or Pork!

Sunday Prep on The Grill

Coming off an indulgent week? Ready to get back on track but needing to ease in? 
.
This is one of the Easiest and Most Versatile meal preps I have done in a while! The possibilities are endless and it's totally customizable to your likes/dislikes and dietary restrictions! You can keep it all vegetarian, add in a quick Pressure Cooker Pot of Quinoa to amp up the protein game! Or Add in some fish, or Chicken while you already have that grill HOT, like we did! 
.
☀️Instead of my normal meal prep, we gathered a Summer Bounty of veggies and roughly chopped them, tossed with olive oil and hung out by the grill, tossing the ball with the kids and playing in the yard, while we grilled them all up!
.
🍆 Nothing fancy, just some olive oil, letting those Summer Veggies be the stars!
.
🔥Only about 10 minutes time, washing/chopping/marinade mixing and the rest was family time outside! It was awesome, easy and at the ready for yummy combos!
.
-Eggplant Pizzas
-Eggplant Fajitas
-Veggie Platter w/ Chicken
-Veggie Platter w/ Steak
-Veggie Quesadillas
-They make a great addition to salads
-Not pictured -> Grilled Veggies over Pressure Cooker Quinoa & Zucchini Roll-Ups with Goat Cheese & Marinara

Mom Hack -> Mini Cake Spatulas

👆🏼Tip for Tuesday!
.
My littles Thrive when given independence, but it seems there's a fine line between enough and too much! 🤔 
.
They are learning to make their own breakfast and lunch, at least in part! 😉 They love to spread on their own toppings and I give them multiple options for most things! But when it comes to 🔪 I'm just not quite there! 
.
And....since I nearly cut my fingertip off yesterday, with all the knife experience I have, I'm not ready to hand them a knife! 😬
.
But, these flat little mini cake spatulas help them to learn how to handle a knife for spreading without the dangers of a blade! 😜

It's not about the fall, it's about the Rise

💜Finding YOUR Balance
.
I'm just going to say it...We ALL fall down - No matter who we are, we are imperfectly perfect! It's not about how far you fall or what knocks you down, but how fast you get back up! If you focus on your fall or your faults, they will Grow, but if you focus forward and find the strength to rebound those faults will fade into the background!  
.
"Failure is but a Condiment to Success!" As long as you get back up, you have never failed, just faltered!
.
✨When you find a tribe that puts the magic in the journey, it makes getting up a lot easier! 😉
