FOOD YOU WANT For The Life You Crave

I’m having an uncontrollable craving for this li I’m having an uncontrollable craving for this life salad! It’s a recipe I shared forever ago on the blog and Uber tweaked for my cookbook. Did you know that omega’s are linked to uplifting your mood? You may get stronger doses from a supplement obv but loading up on this craveable omega rich salad with a pesto ish dressing, nuts and seeds and paleo seeded crackers will make you happy just crunching away. Recipe on my blog and more flips and tweaks in the cookbook. Have you tried this? #saladforlunch #saladcravings
Honestly? These days I’m just surviving! You? It Honestly? These days I’m just surviving! You? It’s the simple things that light up the days. A dance with my son in the kitchen. A stolen moment to practice and breathe. A walk with the dog at sunset. A virtual hug with a friend after we’ve vented (you know who you are). A glass of crisp rose. Netflix binging. Fresh mint from the garden. Essential oils sprayed on my masks (gotta tell you about that one). Takeout burgers. 9pm bedtime. Tell me about your simple things. We all need to relish in those. Love u guys. #coviddays #momlife
What’s happening across the world continues to b What’s happening across the world continues to baffle us all and so many restaurants are trying to deal with very hard circumstances. In Israel, lockdown has again closed all dining in and businesses have had to shift to deliveries only. I’m so moved by the innovation of @getbodega in Tel Aviv-they make the most insane kosher cheeseburgers and truffle fries (plus a slew of craft sauces and items homemade with clear love). I’m tempted to sway from my usual veg and fish meals to devour their creations! They delivered a care package with all the raw ingredients and all the sides with instructions and videos for making burgers fresh at home (they even sent a Spotify playlist to bring the experience of their restaurant home). I’m so moved by their delicious ingenuity-a spark of hope for businesses to think out of the box. And we are literally still salivating it was so good. I’ll post some behind the scenes of our prep in stories! Thanks to James and the Bodega team for your passion and grit. #savetherestaurants #burgertime
It might have just turned fall but it’s still ho It might have just turned fall but it’s still hot around here and we are hanging onto summer! Plus lemon anything is really a year round thing. Make this pie and freeze it for the weekend! We are entering the Jewish holiday season so I’m planning ahead and making things that can stay in the freezer forever like this lemon pie. Link in stories for the recipe or just search “lemon pie” on my website! #lemonpie🍋
I had to share this stunning jeweled rice recipe f I had to share this stunning jeweled rice recipe from my friend @pamelasalzman (miss you Pamela!) her vegetarian creations are always stunning but this inspired to me make my dishes festive this year! And what a weird year! (Ps check out pamela for more yumminess). In my HK days we used to have a house full of company and enormous joy came from hosting but this year, well, it’s just us in lockdown! I’m determined to make it delicious and beautiful. Check out my stories where I just shared my menu and more. As always, DM me with your questions or creations! 🍯 🍎 🍏 #roshhashana2020
This week it’s all about rosh hashana foods! Her This week it’s all about rosh hashana foods! Here are the zucchini fritters from my cookbook but I’m flipping and simplifying and making it into a zucchini leek pie! All I did is fry two onions, add several grated zucchini, salt, pepper and w hole bunch’s eggs. Sounds too simple to be that good but it is! What’s on your menu? #roshhashanarecipes #flexiblerecipes
Making the brisket from my cookbook for rosh hasha Making the brisket from my cookbook for rosh hashana this year with a slew of flexible flips. If you have my book, use the sauce it’s insanely delish. Here’s how I’m adapting this year! ✔️I’m marinating the brisket for 24 hours in red wine! Learnt this from my amazing mom. It tenderizes and yummifies the beef! ✔️using @coppermoosevinegar rub to marinate the beef. They ship! My fave is the chili rub-yum! ✔️get this: making it in my crock pot. Sorry second cut haters but the second cut brisket is superiorly moist. It’s about the fat. Enough said. ✔️after it comes out of the slow cooker, I pop the whole cut under the broiler for a few to crisp the edges. Then cool, slice, return to sauce and BOOM. Check out stores I’ll show ya a glimpse of the recipe!
Well, many things don’t go according to plan! Li Well, many things don’t go according to plan! Liam and I just went live and decided to have a chat about navigating the ups and downs of covid. It was inspired by waking up to an announcement than a monthlong lockdown in Israel will start the day we get out of quarantine. Just a little pivot...6 weeks on lockdown! And I wanted to chat with y’all about how hard it can be to live in such chaotic times where so much is so out of our control. I wanted to share my own funk and depressed state I’ve been struggling with lately and what that means for a kid in this world. Liam has such insights and we have discussions about this a lot. He’s seen how things haven’t been normal and he has things to say to kids about this! But as much as Liam is sophisticated beyond his years, he’s still an 8 year old kid. Anyhow, if you watched the live you’ll know what I’m talking about but he just wasn’t in the mood. I actually kind of cut the live off early when he wasn’t “cooperating”. I thought I’d share this today because hey, we’ve all been there. In situations where our kids don’t show up or embarrass us or misbehave etc. I’ve been a parent for 19 years and have had too many of these situations to count. One of my kids once pulled his pants down during a dinner party to do his business on the floor. Wtf? This stuff happens! So although today was intended to be about inspiring YOUR potential to kick ass despite the reality of the world being out of your control, instead I leave you with this parenting message. Be the adult. In turn, you’ll teach them how to grow into one. Don’t be the permissive parent that allows the kids to make the rules. I stopped the live today because despite how important my work is to me, educating my kids is even more important. So we are going to chat about taking yourself seriously, about respect and about showing up. In the meantime, we are going into the weekend with excitement and a whole lotta fun activities to keep us sane and happy. Sending love you guys. See you in the kitchen on Monday!
Baking my seriously good apple cake for the Jewish Baking my seriously good apple cake for the Jewish new year and popping it in the freezer in advance!

Link in bio. Whatcha baking? #gfbaking #roshhashana2020

When in Israel...we’ve only been on the ground f When in Israel...we’ve only been on the ground for a night but have already chopped up some Israeli salads. Covid is rampant here but I got all my contactless groceries delivered and we are looking forward to 2 weeks of quiet and some insanely good cukes and tomatoes! Stay tuned as Liam and I keep you posted with recipes, workouts and more! #israelifood #covidcooking

This is the kind of food I CRAVE. It’s funny, wh This is the kind of food I CRAVE. It’s funny, when we think about cravings we usually think chocolate or chips or other short term gratifiers. But cravings go beyond taste and momentary fun. If you really think about the deep things you crave, what are they? I crave a healthy body. I crave connection, love, freedom etc. May sound like a stretch but our deeper longings can be satisfied by feeding ourselves right. Fish and veggies leaves me light and satisfied. What do U crave? #fishandveggies #cravings

Neck pain is a pain in the neck. On days when I’ Neck pain is a pain in the neck. On days when I’m suffering it’s tempting to do nothing. But after years of studying yoga therapy and my own body, I’ve learnt that smart movement is better than no movement. Going upside down with neck off the floor creates some traction that at the very least feels good! Other tips if you have neck pain if this is a little advanced 😆: 🔹lay back on a large stability ball in a passive backbend. Feels good and releases tension. 🔹lay on back with your knees bent and place foam roller behind your upper back: support your head with your hands-lift head off floor and roll foam roller up and down your back. You might get a crack-that’s good! 🔹if you have a particular spot that’s tight use a tennis ball or similar behind your back-standing leaning against the wall. Acts like trigger point therapy. Want more feel good tips? Message me and I’ll create some videos demonstrating! Hope y’all have a great and healthy weekend. #neckpainrelief #yogatherapy
Announcement! Pending any changes (Im staying flex Announcement! Pending any changes (Im staying flexible!) I’m planning to do a live series during quarantine from Israel starting Sunday sept 6th. Liam and I are quarantining alone and already mapping out a schedule and plans to make the most out of our two weeks. Each day I’ll be teaching Liam some basic recipes, doing some home workouts and more. And I’ll stream them live so that you can watch with your kiddos and maybe get some fun ideas on keeping them educated and entertained. Winging this! What do you think? Any requests? Suggestions? I’ll do my best to time the lives for mornings EST and save them so you watch later. Love to hear your thoughts! #kidscancook
Hi Guys! Okay so I am LOVING @drinkwildtonic Jun K Hi Guys! Okay so I am LOVING @drinkwildtonic Jun Kombucha! It is unlike any others I have tried, and is made from organic honey. The combination of flavors, honey base and fizz makes it so refreshing and delicious. My favorite flavor is the mango ginger omg yum! You need to check them out. PLUS, it is a female owned brand, which I obviously love! They also just launched their ECOMM delivery so you can get it to your doorstep nationwide. (Or you can instacart from your local grocery store like I did.) Did you all ALSO know today is #NationalWomensEqualityDay? I am always happy to support a female founded business. #WildTonic #JunKombucha #WildTonicPartner
Sums up my mood right now. Overwhelmed with emotio Sums up my mood right now. Overwhelmed with emotion and appreciation for my health and this life. This picture was taken on a beach on Thailand when I was in a similar mindset. If you watched today’s story I shared the car accident we were in yesterday and walked away with zero injuries. It was a moment of real awakening for various reasons which I’ll share in a blog post when I’m ready. I was just chatting with my best friend who was very near the Lebanon explosion and experienced similar gratitude for life feelings. An awakening doesn’t require a scary moment. Awakening can happen every-single-day-of-our-lives! You have so many gifts and talents. How are you going to remember that and apply them to making the world a better place? Current state of mind. Sending ❤️
Prescription for the blues: daily planking and sun Prescription for the blues: daily planking and sunshine! For reals though, fresh air and exercise for me is the key to happiness. We are getting ready to quarantine and stocking up on bands and balls and more for home workouts. I’ll be sharing some of our flexible home workouts with you late next week. Meanwhile soaking up as much outdoors as we can. ❤️ #outdoorworkout #flexibleworkout
And just like after being in the same house since And just like after being in the same house since March, Seth is off! The ranch isn’t the same without my adventure man-and Liam is all upset because I’m not the “fun one”. It was eerily quiet last night as we listened to the wind howling. Thinking of you all as we savor the last moments of summer as I know so many of you are going back to school this week. How’s it all going? #dadsandsons #montana2020
