Finally made some real (edible) Donuts! Inspired by @donutteshoppe flavors of course 🍩 #ilovetocreate #donutsofinstagram

🌱Minty Pea Gnocchi with sweet peas, snap peas, tendrils and seared bay scallops, romano cheese in a vin blanc sauce made for a catering client last week. I’ve been trying to bring this dish to reality for a couple of years, but I always forgot when spring came along! 🌱 Even happier that I could grow a few things on the plate too 🥰 Gnocchi is my favorite pasta to make, as it’s easy to come together, welcoming to many flavors and not to mention the pillowy goodness 😋 #lovetocreate #foodismylovelanguage #imback

This has been of the most roller coaster periods of my life, and I know most of you can relate. The ups have been tremendous and the lows have been astonishing to say the least. Over the past several weeks, God has stretched me beyond my wildest dreams through my business(es) friendships and my family life. I've simultaneously been suffering in silence. I've been in so much pain over the past year and a half. Over the holidays I juggled working for my business daily family life and spending time with family but the pain came to such a point where I could no longer push through and ignore going on what is going on with my body. Last week I was forced to stop in my tracks and go to urgent care. Though I have since gotten help and started to receive answers from the doctors, I had to take much-needed rest, and take a step back to reevaluate was really important. Understanding has come that my mission to live holistically is not just about products or businesses or gifting or even helping others but it’s also about thriving as an individual. My creations are a reflection of me, and therefore they shift when I do. I'm in the process of learning how to truly put all the knowledge of healing with my gifts of creativity, so I can live whole. To be honest, it feels like an uphill battle. As I write this I am in pain. However I’m tired of where I’ve been, and am going to hold on to hope until the next win comes. Thank you for allowing me a corner of the interwebs, so I can share my journey. It’s my prayer that it will bless someone along the way.

So funny story, I broke my tiny corner of the internet with these little donuts. 🍩A few weeks ago, I was having a down day, and decided to create to help ease my mind and have some fun. When I got done, God urged me to go ahead and post it on Facebook. Everyone thought it was just another 🍩 delicious looking dessert, but they’re actually all-natural bath bombs, glazed in soap and decorated. I honestly didn’t think they looked real. To my surprise, my tribe went crazy with the switch up. My family insisted that I post them for sale and helped me put together a store page in less than 24 hours. 24 hours from then, I was sold out of my first batches of Donutte bombes! Talk about SHOOK! 😱 There’s a little more to this story and I’ll share later. Sometimes one idea and a little support is all you need to get started with your creative ideas. In the meantime you can keep up with The Donutte Shoppe here 👉🏾@donutteshoppe

I tried my hand at soul rolls tonight because...leftovers I see why people like these so much, but these things are NOT light lol #tko #napbeforebed

Special thank you to everyone who came to last weeks bread class! We laughed, talked dough, kids and had fun. I even attempted a cinnamon raisin bread, which needs way more filling 😅. Due to the holidays I’ve been a bit slow to get the replay up, but it will be available soon! I’m thinking no-knead bread for the next class. What do you think?

Hey all, It has been a DAY, but I digress. It’s godly warm in Chicago for November, so so I pulled this video out of the archives from earlier this year. Showing you how to make easy cold brew coffee with less than 8 minutes of prep. I love cold brew, not only because of its distictively smooth flavor profile, but because you can make it even if you don’t own a coffee maker! I’m dedicating this video to my sis @jaibrittni she knows why ☕️ General recipe is as follows: Ingredients 28 grams or 4 rounded tbsp Ground Coffee, medium grind preferably 24 fl oz filtered water 1. Combine coffee and water in a French press or lidded vessel 2. Cover coffee (plunger up if using press) and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours, up to overnight. 3. To serve: if using French press push plunger down or strain through a fine mesh strainer into serving container. Serve immediately as is or with sweet cream, flavored syrup of choice. Customize this recipe to include lots of fun flavors, like adding a cinnamon stick or pinch of nutmeg to your coffee grinds before adding water, or a few spoonfuls of caramel after you strain your finished brew. This type of coffee can be made in advance and kept under refrigeration for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep! Try it out and let me know how you love it ☕️ #beyondafoodie #coffeeshop #coffeebar #coffeemaker #coffee_time #coffeetime☕ #frenchpress #pourovercoffee #pourover #baristagram #coffeelover #coffeeaddict #coffeepeople #coffeeroasting #frenchpresscoffee #indiecoffee #foodys #foodanddrink #coldbrew #coldbrewcoffee #coldbrewlover

Hey y’all! I finally got the veggie fried rice video up from last weeks live. It took some time to edit down for the 10 minute IGTV limit, the steps are all there. I wish you were able to catch it live last week, but my goal is to keep going through these quick tutorials on Wednesdays at lunchtime. If you have a request, let me know! The full-length replay will be available on the @beyondafoodie Facebook page, and can get the recipe for my veggie fried rice here: sendfox.com/lp/m220l6 Happy eating! #mealpreplife #mealprep #easymealprep #mealplanning #healthyfoods #healthyrecipeideas #eatbetternotless #healthyfoodie #healthyfoodrecipes #healthyfoodshare #healthyfoodideas #healthyfoodchoice #goodmoodfood #postworkoutmeal#onmyplate #foodblogfeed #foodieofinstagram #foodilicious#friedricelover #foodbloggersofinstagram #veggiefriedrice #friedrice #friedricerecipe #foodieforlife#foodisbae #foodieforever #foodpage #lovewhatyoueat #loveyourfood #healthycooking

Veggie Fried rice for dayyyys! Even though I did this for last weeks class with @globalgirlmin1 I realize many of you on here didn’t get a chance to see how to make it from beginning to end 🥦🌶🥕🍚 so I figured why not do so together on here? How about we chat and do some afternoon meal prep tomorrow live around 1? 🍛🥢🔪 Double tap the post if you’re down and tag a friend you want to watch with you!

Make this for brunch tomorrow! This easy flatbread is savory, flavorful and fast. Customize it however you’d like and serve it with fruit or a salad. Ingredients are below.

Ingredients • 1 Flatbread • 1 Egg • 1 tbsp Diced onion • 1 tbsp Shredded Cheese • ½ tbsp Smoked Salmon • 1 tsp Scallions • ½ tsp Dill • 1 tbsp Diced Tomato • Salt & Pepper Music: Bae Musician: Jeff Kaale . . . . #beyondafoodie #Brunch #brunchgoals #brunchideas #brunchlover #brunchlovers #brunchclub #brunching #brunchlife #brunchporn #brunchfood #brunchvibes #brunchsohard #brunchallday #brunchin #brunchsquad #brunchmenu #brunchislife #brunchbabes #brunchwithfriends
