As the days get shorter and the nights a little chillier, I find myself reaching for dinners that are warm and comforting for Fall nights at home. Seasoned with just a little olive oil and a sprinkle of spices, these carrots’ natural sweetness really shine in this side dish. This is also a great place to start if you’re looking to get a little more adventurous with your roasted carrots— add a touch of honey, cinnamon or coconut sugar to make a sweet glaze. I added a sprinkle of fresh thyme at the end for an herb-y and fresh flavor! ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ 5 large carrots⁣ 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ⁣ 2 tsp smoked paprika ⁣ 1 tsp salt ⁣ 1 tsp black pepper⁣ Optional: fresh thyme for sprinkling and garnish ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Peel the carrots and slice into long pieces. ⁣ 2. Transfer the carrots to a parchment lined baking sheet and add the oil and spices. Toss well to coat evenly. ⁣ 3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the carrots are fork-tender. I added a bit of fresh thyme after roasting but this step is optional!

Here’s a quick 5 minute recipe— these quick jicama-wrapped tacos are exactly what you need for a lively Mexican inspired meal. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Mexican food so using those seasonings for the beef was a no-brainer. You can pick up jicama sliced into shells at some grocery stores or do it yourself using a mandolin. I love the way the jicama offers a slight crunch and a mild, sweet flavor that perfectly compliments the Mexican spices of the meat. ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ 1 pack jicama shells (or 1 large jicama, sliced thinly)⁣ 1 avocado ⁣ 1 lb organic free range ground chicken ⁣ 1 tbsp avocado oil ⁣ 1/2 onion ⁣ 2 garlic cloves⁣ 1 tsp fennel seeds⁣ 1/2 tsp chili powder⁣ 1/8 tsp cayenne⁣ 1/8 tsp onion power ⁣ Salt and pepper to taste ⁣ Salsas or sauces as desired (I used @sietefoods) ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1. Add avocado oil to pan. Once heated, at the chicken into the pan and cook until browned. ⁣ 2. Add the onion and cook until it turns translucent. Add all seasonings and mix well. ⁣ 3. To plate, lay flat your jicama slices, and pile high with ground chicken and onion mixture. I added avocado, thinly sliced radishes and my favorite sauces from @sietefoods.

Roasted chicken and veggies, toasted...

Sometimes we take great care of ourselves on the outside, but forget to tend to our insides too. You could eat the most clean and nutritious foods, work out every day and still not truly know how to take care of yourself. ⁣ ⁣ This #WorldMentalHealthDay is extremely important. In this current state, I want to really emphasize how important it is to take care of yourself emotionally. Don’t burry your pain, don’t place “I’ll deal with it” labels on your hurt and don’t trick yourself into thinking that neglecting your mental health is okay. When we acknowledge that facing these challenges doesn’t make us weak, but rather strong… something truly remarkable happens. ⁣ ⁣ Take care of yourself. You are your home.

As we shift into fall, I knew I had to share my go-to healthy hot chocolate recipe with all of you. You can use your favorite non-dairy milk in this warm and cozy recipe (I chose a homemade almond-pecan mix!) I love the way the maple sweetens the drink, and adds a sweet fall touch. Enjoy! ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ 10.5 oz non-dairy milk ⁣ 2 tbsp organic unsweetened cacao powder ⁣ 1 scoop collagen ⁣ Splash of alcohol free-vanilla extract ⁣ Organic maple syrup to taste ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1. Add all ingredients to a milk frother. If you do not have a milk frother, you can whisk the ingredients together on a stove over medium heat until warm and mixed.

Sharing the first of my spooky Fall cocktails with you tonight just in time for the weekend! This drink is fun mix of silver tequila, apple cider and a dash of those autumnal spices we all know and love. I made it as a single cocktail but if you’re in need of something for a Halloween get together, I think it would be absolutely delicious batched in a punch bowl! ⁣ ⁣ For the cider ⁣ 4 cups pure unsweetened organic apple juice ⁣ 2 4” cinnamon sticks ⁣ 8 whole cloves ⁣ 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg ⁣ ⁣ For the cocktail ⁣ 2 oz of homemade apple cider (recipe listed above)⁣ 1.5 oz silver tequila ⁣ Maple syrup to taste⁣ Sparkling mineral water⁣ Cinnamon stick for garnish ⁣ ⁣ Instructions⁣ 1. To make the cider, place all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat over medium heat. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer you simmer, the stronger the flavor will be. ⁣ 2. Once the cider is made, set aside and let cool. I actually store it in my fridge until I’m ready to make cocktails or use it in other fun fall dishes. ⁣ 3. To make the cocktail, add ice to a cocktail shaker. Add 2 oz of the cider, the tequila and maple syrup to your liking. Shake well and pour into a glass. ⁣ 4. Finish the drink with sparkling water. I garnished with a cinnamon stick, dash of ground cinnamon and a fig (because I had one) but I also think an apple slice would be an elegant presentation!
