Hi and happy Wednesday!

I’m forcing fall vibes in Florida by wearing sweaters inside and buying every pumpkin flavored food item I can find. Like the pumpkin gnocchi from trader joes (recipe here!) and butternut squash pasta from Costco.

Having a good relationship with food makes seasonal treats so fun and not at all stressful! If you’ve had some fear about indulging in fall treats or want to learn how to do it in a way that feels good physically, get your insurance benefits checked to see a dietitian. I’m happy to help!

Now let’s get into my bookshelf, the blog, and my bag 👜

I love it when dietitians write books and I try to read every one I can! The Latina Anti-Diet by Dalina Soto is similar to Anti Diet by Christy Harrison mixed with some nutrition basics and cultural considerations.

I’ve been really enjoying it so far and I’m sure you would too!

Check it out on Amazon.

Bacon & Cheddar Egg Bites

These high protein egg bites will have you reaching for your muffin tin every week!

I had to wipe the dust off mine when I found this recipe, and now I’ve put my own spin on it. Start your day with a high protein breakfast and make sure you pair a carb food with these! I like to add a slice of bread and/or a piece of fruit.

Find the recipe here!

From My Bag

The purpose of this segment is to highlight one product or item that has been improving my quality of life.

Today I’d like to highlight a tool that helps me pack nutrient dense meals and snacks on the go!

This bento box is a game changer. I’ve recently used it to make sure I stayed fueled on a day out, for a weekend roast trip to Charleston, and even to bring breakfast to a friend!

It doesn’t leak AND allows me to pack a variety of snacks I love in one place!

If this sounds like something you need to, check it out here.
