Aloo gobi without the aloo 😉 -basically kitchen Aloo gobi without the aloo 😉 -basically kitchen sink Indian cauliflower curry. No I didn’t measure but if you’re feeling inspired here my flexible no rules recipe! If u love I promise to do formal! Sauté one onion in a good amount of olive oil Add a tomato or two or 3! Add tomato paste Add minced garlic Add minced ginger Wait around 5-7 until it all comes tog. Add dried: cumin, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, salt and pepper! I had leftover cabbage-threw that in Add around a head of cauliflower florets. Cook until softened. Finish with fresh cilantro. Taste and drizzle with EVOO, salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh chili peppers. I’m serving with some fried quinoa rice (see pics in stories) but seriously I could live in this alone. Happy weekend! #aloogobi #cauliflowercurry #healthyindianfood
One of the keys to lasting love, and, coincidental One of the keys to lasting love, and, coincidentally, our basic needs as human beings is to have both stability and consistency but also adventure and spontaneity. We are creatures of comfort (I know you’ll be there for me, etc) but we also crave newness. I just shared my kinda embarrassing and hilarious reaction to seths shaving his beard in stories today. I wasn’t ready! I was comfortable having gotten to know the new him with a beard! Change threw me off guard! But as with anything new, it also introduces fun and creates an opportunity for new kinds of spark. It’s good to introduce something new to keep your love and passion alive. Here’s Seth post beard and the Seth I knew for last 6 months. Hello new hubby! We’ve been married 22 years and are always changing things up to keep the adventure alive. Don’t get stuck in sameness. Do something in your relationship to keep things new! It takes work but so do all things in life worth fighting for. #marriageadvice #relationshipgoals❤️
I scrambled to get you this recipe in time for Ros I scrambled to get you this recipe in time for Rosh Hashana in case you wanna try them. This was prob the biggest recipe I’ve developed in 2 years since my cookbook. I took the inspo of my dairy free cheesecake and the crust from my rhubarb pie to concoct this. When I talk about flexibility in the kitchen it’s all about being open minded and creative and mixing and matching things so go forth and experiment. It’s insane that this recipe is gluten AND dairy free which doesn’t mean a free pass to eat I as many as u want. It’s still an indulgent sugar filled treat so consume responsibly!! Ok how gottta go and finish cleaning and cooking for important rosh hashana guests! Love u guys. Lmk how this turns out! 🔗RECIPE LINK IN BIO #flexiblefood #appledessert #roshhashana

This is such a fun way to present your apples and honey this year. These apples are pictured with almond butter but you could totally just do a drizzle of honey or nix the almond butter and fill these # cuties w honey! You’d wanna chill to set but I think could totally work. Rosh hashana idea-You’re welcome 😜 #roshhashana #applesandhoney

Holy yum! Shakshuka with fried halloumi, oh yeah. Holy yum! Shakshuka with fried halloumi, oh yeah. I wish I could say that I made this but I plan to!!! So, if you have my cookbook, follow my roasted cauliflower shakshuka recipe but swap broccoli for the Cauli for fun and color. Then, pan fry some halloumi and sprinkle it in at the end so it stays crispy. Garnish with pesto. I love getting flexible recipe inspo from dishes I don’t have cook so I can sample and taste and then experiment at home. So much of the fun and creativity happens in the kitchen when you taste something and then go home to experiment and recreate! Do u do this? If so, what have your latest creations been? #shakshuka #shakshukarecipe #israelifood
But HOW did summer just fly by? Im on the ranch w But HOW did summer just fly by? Im on the ranch with 1 out of 4 kids and our extended family is all packing up…my last two weeks recovering from surgery felt like a blur and I’ve just come up for air. I have to say, we’ve been sheltered from covid out here and I can’t say I’m looking forward to masking, regulations and travel… More than ever, adopting a flexible mindset is a necessity. Who know what will be this fall. Keep your plans flexible too because anything can change and that is ok because you’ll be mentally prepared for a wild ride this fall if it comes to that. We’ve all got this! #montanalife #montanaliving #sunmer2021

I haven’t been able to exercise (obv) and given my mostly sedentary life on the couch that lies in stark contrast to my usual morning practice+daily run+life on the move, I’ve been looking for lightened up options myself so I don’t turn into a comfort food looking blob 😂 😬 Let me know what you think if u try this simple+satisfying recipe! #spaghettisquashrecipe #healthified #comfortfood

This pic was taken just 10 hours before I rushed This pic was taken just 10 hours before I rushed to the hospital in pain and got my appendix out. Crazy how we go from vibrancy and health to illness overnight huh? This guy has been by my side, helping me out of bed, scheduling my meds because I’ve been forgetful, he’s taken over all my domestic duties (which are, let’s just say, extensive) and he still has this same smile on his face doing it all. Thanks honey for reminding me to be grateful for your unwavering love. I’m posting this from bed, mostly for me, as a reminder that I will get better. I will get better. Love u all. Il show u some not so smiley BTS in stories later…#recoveryisaprocess #gratefulthankfulblessed #cherishyourlife
Kept high spirits as I was rushed in for an emerge Kept high spirits as I was rushed in for an emergency appendectomy. Can’t say it was the best day of summer but such are the bumps in life. By the way, how do you know to go the hospital for stomach pains? Honestly it’s intuition. The pain was worse than I ever felt and I suspected something was wrong. I was worried I was being a wimp but woke my poor hubby to drive me to the ER anyway. Listen to your inner voice! Recovery, however, (well, since yesterday) has been a bitch and the only way I’m keeping from feeling bummed and totally pathetically sorry for myself (3 month pregnant belly and bad pains), is by remembering what I always remember when there’s a bump in the road: -this too shall pass- If you’re in a moment where things feel crummy and you feel buried by it-keep perspective! It will get better soon, things always go in waves! It’s also a powerful reason why keeping in good shape and good health is vital. So far more vital that fitting into your jeans. Vital because every doctor I saw said you’ll be back in no time thanks to your good health. Prioritize your health! Exercise religiously! Feed your body well! And now for the hardest part because I’m an energizer bunny on the move that hates to stop: REST!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️u all and all of your DM’s have truly helped my spirits. #keepyourheadup #stayflexible
Are you fulfilled? How often do you second guess Are you fulfilled? How often do you second guess yourself? Do you worry about how you appear to others and don’t give yourself permission to step confidently into your powers? Are you lost, confused about your purpose or generally feeling like life’s not on track for you? That. Was. Me. Even when on the outside my life was seemingly “successful” I felt like a failure. Today, after years of practice, parenting, marriage, coaching and teaching it feels amazing to jump out of bed with confidence, trusting myself and working hard to achieve my goals without the pressure. …just here to remind you of your greatness today! Packing for a solo LA work trip this week…if I haven’t seen u in a while message me I want to try to make time for friendship instead of my usual workaholic trips. Hey it IS summertime still…happy Sunday!
It’s so rare that we are all together. With 4 ki It’s so rare that we are all together. With 4 kids growing up way too fast it’s hard to get the teenagers together and now my oldest is back at Stanford AND working on his brand new startup app @lighthousetheapp I find myself looking at photos at all of us together longing for more reunions. And ones coming soon!! If you don’t already know by now, im obsessed with creating magic moments. Whether it’s throwing parties, feasts or bbq’s or just spending time on the ranch as fam, these are the moments life is made of. I’ve only had two kids around for most of the summer so far and although it’s felt like a temporary vacation 🤭 I’m getting giddy to all be together. Ya know, just catching y’all up here my Instagram fam! #magicmoments #whatmattersmost
Your road might be rocky but if you follow your pa Your road might be rocky but if you follow your passions and are aligned with your inner compass it will lead you to the right place.

Omg you guys can you tell from the look on my face Omg you guys can you tell from the look on my face that I’m in my zone of genius? Today I get the first edits from my shoot with @icon.originals @jayshetty If you haven’t read the book The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks it’s a great read on kicking your life up a notch.
