It's storming here just like it does in Windhaven, so let's make some soup with goodies from the garden like Emerie would.

Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn all have a thing for Hot Cocoa, and how can you blame them? This classic comfort beverage can make even the worst days seem like they aren't that bad after all. Myself, I love to indulge in this wonderful drink at least once a week and I will never grow tired of it. Here's my favorite at home preparation- no premix here- with a little pinch of some extra spices to make it even more cozy and delightful.

One of the easiest breakfasts I make, it takes maybe 5-10 minutes of prep time and then 12 minutes of cooking. This is the breakfast I make when I'm not really sure what the heck I want, and I have a ton of random veggies to use up. You can switch up the meat and eggs for whatever protein you prefer, change out spices to whatever you happen to be feeling that day, and throw it all in one skillet and call it good. You can follow my veggie list or you can create your own, use this "recipe" as a guideline and have fun!

As Nesta stays in the House of Wind and slowly gives into the plan Feyre laid out for her, the House frequently sent her bowls of stew in the library, at her desk, and in the dining room. There is no doubt that a good nourishing bowl of stew is good for the body and mind, a calm comfort in the midst of turmoil.

This one pot meal is a standby in my house and there's almost always a pot simmering on the stove, especially as the summer days fade into Autumn. Eaten with bread, rice, or alone- this warming meal will help heal sore bodies and broken hearts.

Lunch is probably my favorite meal, because its my "I do what I want," meal. Being a mother of 3 kids, I often have to cater to picky eaters when I cook, which means a lot of my bold or spicy flavors have to be more subtle to get by their palettes. My kids are sandwich eaters, snackers, and charcuterie connoisseurs. I often arrange a variety of fruits meats cheeses and crackers on a tray and let them forage for what they want off of it, so I can make my spicy meal for myself.

When I say spicy meal, I mean things like curry, stews and soups with so many spices vegetables and so much flavor, it's like Feyre said "It makes me feel, awake." I remember reading that line and feeling so seen. Some of the spices might be new to you when shopping, I highly recommend finding an Indian market or searching on Amazon for some of them if you can't find them in your grocery store (I promise it's worth the effort!). Some places do sell premade sauce in a jar, but the calories and ingredients may be different enough to matter, and homemade is always best!

This recipe only takes 45 minutes from start to finish, it comes together so fast and it's really easy, with lots of leftovers that can be saved for lunch the next day or even reheated for dinner that night. I hope you love it as much as I do!

I know, I know, every fitness journal says it: overnight oats. But its really so easy to throw together, you can make them for a few days so you grab and go, they can be a tried and trusted favorite or a new flavor every day, and there's more than a few ways to add some extra protein, so let's give it a shot.

If you're prepping for a few days ahead, you'll want to grab your vessel- I love recycling glass jars, or using Mason jars. I've linked some cute ones on Amazon at the bottom of the recipe. I only make about 3 days of overnight oats at a time, as the fruit can become questionable after that.

Hot Takes

The number on the scale does not take away your worthiness of food, or loving every bite of it.
