Ever had dried figs? It’s my first time. Literally tastes like a fig newton cookie. 😍 And it’s got the fiber we need to help balance menopausal symptoms. If you run across figs at the store (with no sugar), give it a go!

This morning was terrible -an easy excuse to ‘abandon all’ and eat something extremely unhealthy. On top of that, I’m on the road. Decided on a chicken Caesar wrap instead of letting stress of the day take me down a different food path.
➡️ Two questions to ask yourself when tempted to eat ‘bad’ food at the wrong time:
Do your best to keep making good choices. ❤️
Add cottage cheese to your eggs to increase protein intake. I scrambled in 2 heaping teaspoons then cooked it up. I’m going to start sneaking this into my family’s eggs. 😏
Have you ever tried goat butter? This is my first time. It’s smoother, lighter and melts quicker than regular butter. I like it!
Dates!! Eating whole raw dates with butter, cheese (I used goat cheese), or a natural nut butter is a great idea.
While dates are naturally high in sugar and do have excellent fiber to slow sugar absorption, pairing them with a fat from butter, cheese, or nut butter is even better.
These combos provide a steady energy release, minimizing sugar spikes and keeping you full for longer.
It's a simple way to enjoy a sweet treat while supporting more stable blood sugar.
It’s delicious, so remember, everything In moderation! My fav is the goat cheese. Which are you picking?
Finally found a granola that doesn’t contain cane sugar. Of course we still gotta do it in moderation but it’s nice to have this option. Adding it to my plain Greek yogurt to make it a ‘healthier treat’ option. Do you read nutrition labels?
Leftover from last night’s dinner: Chicken sausage with sautéed onions, steamed broccoli, roasted red potatoes with Parmesan. I’m doing my best to get the family more on board with healthy eating- It’s a struggle sometimes!
I do fresh squeezed ginger juice and make ice cubes to preserve it (they melt down fast). Each morning, I take 3 cubes: Once melted, I add cayenne pepper, turmeric and a splash of fresh pineapple as my morning shot combo. I’ve been doing this since early summer. Haven’t had a sniffle, sneeze or cough since the cold weather started. Ever tried ginger juice?
Yes to this? Let’s do it together. Drink with me first thing every morning- as soon as you wake up, BEFORE coffee or any other drinks. Rehydrate your body, boost metabolism for weight loss, flush toxins and kickstart digestion. This is how you win!

You’ll notice steak is on my list. It’s great protein, but I was tempted to eat it when I wasn’t even hungry so it goes on the list! #winning
