This was a fun time when we shot pics for my book. This was a fun time when we shot pics for my book...as staged as this kinda looks (which it was!) this is an actual scene from a typical night these days except we are all in PJ’s now haha. But seriously, we live in the kitchen and my kids help cook, prep (not clean, I’m working on that part very hard these days!) how much more time are you spending in the kitchen? Are you doing any takeout or solely relying on home cooked meals? Super curious how you’re doing with it all because we all wanna help support you during these wild times. Stay sane out there-😷haha that emoji made me laugh. #sundayvibes✨ #familycooking
I am literally pulling my hair out trying to keep I am literally pulling my hair out trying to keep up food supply for my homeschooled kids, hubby and oldest son at a separate location in quarantine. They are like bottomless pits constantly coming into the kitchen for more. I know you know what I’m talking about!!!! Honestly the only way I can function is to stay hyper organized and to have a pantry stocked with fast supplies. With restaurants across the globe making it harder to snap your fingers and get it now and with restrictions on leaving home we all have to get gritty and make meals happen. Anyhow, I’m rambling. Listen, make homemade muffins. Freeze them and they are an easy fast snack. Or a breakfast. Good for kids to grab. I love @bobsredmill gluten free biscuit and baking mix you can get it delivered from @amazon or @iherb or wherever you get groceries (I know, some have limited supply etc..) anyhow I love their gluten free biscuit & baking mix and use if for these cranberry orange muffins. Add frozen cranberries and orange zest (plus hemp and OJ) and freeze for a fast snack. You’ll get through this! #fakeittillyoumakeit #gfmuffins #coronafood 😉
How are you doing while stuck at home? The world i How are you doing while stuck at home? The world is crazy right now — restaurants closed, people avoiding takeout, and many grocery stores wiped out. So, when it comes to mealtime, we’ve all gotta get flexible and work with what we’ve got. Despite having an entire book full of recipes, I’m struggling too. It’s a whole new reality and far too much food to have to cook and clean. It can be daunting! That’s why I just put together a new blog post filled with super simple meal ideas that just call for the basics (frozen veggies, canned foods, and other staples). Check it out — link in bio. We’re going to get through this together. And, on the bright side, the mandatory pause with family is great bonding time! #coronavirus #homecooking
Anyone else stepping up their home workout game? I Anyone else stepping up their home workout game? In today’s corona craziness, many people are stuck at home and avoiding the gym.

How are you managing around the world with all the How are you managing around the world with all the changes happening? Many people are opting to eat at home as much as possible to ensure food safety. People in quarantine means grocery delivery and homemade meals! I’m working on more new videos and recipes to give you tons of options...check out this crispy coconut crusted tofu recipe from my dear friend @naturally.sassy head over to my story to get the recipe!

Happy Purim! We have been inundated with life chao Happy Purim! We have been inundated with life chaos and uncertainty round here and I’m far less organized than I’ve been in recent years. I almost didn’t even bake our favorite holiday cookies this year. Almost. Until I got perspective and priority and remembered the importance of tradition and consistency for my kids. So I rolled up my sleeves and made the dough and tomorrow morning we will shape and roll hamentashen like we do every year. Without disruption. No matter what happens in the next week -tomorrow we will bake, drink, eat and celebrate . Happy purim and stay safe, calm and healthy! #purim2020 #hamentashen
My Uber talented sister in law @malkaklein lettere My Uber talented sister in law @malkaklein lettered this beautiful sentiment in celebration of international women’s day. Given all the panic going on in our world this quote made me smile with inner power. My sons university just shut down for the rest of his term leaving him scrambling for where to be-too many miles from me-and I’m celebrating Purim far away from my husband due to the virus. As life throws new challenges at us every time we watch the news and the future so weirdly unknown , I’m reminded to stay strong for my kids and my pack. It’s gonna be alright in the end. Sending y’all virtual hugs. #internationalwomensday #womenpower💪
In case you missed my live today check out my quic In case you missed my live today check out my quick story on dinner in minutes. I made my usual cauliflower fried rice but used...drumroll...frozen cauliflower rice!! I was worried it would be wet and mushy but holy yum, nope! It was insane. You have to do this.

In the news...my kitchen is (almost!ready). Why do In the news...my kitchen is (almost!ready). Why do home renovations take so freaking long!???? If you’ve been following my stories you’ll recall I showed you a glimpse into my humble makeshift laundry room temporary kitchen...it has NOT been fun. Meanwhile, as I was unpacking my life’s content today in my new kitchen the kids all gathered to help, chat, snack etc and I had a pretty profound moment. It occurred to me as we just hung out in the almost-a-kitchen that we had been missing these moments and didn’t even realize the distance we had accustomed ourselves to. I spent more fun mom and daughter time today unpacking glasses and eating burgers that I have in months. There’s magic in a kitchen. It’s the heart of every home. Happy things happen here. More than ever (and especially in coronaland) I’m reminded that life’s simplest pleasures and magic moments are made with a yummy bite in hand, a special person and hanging at the dinner table in PJs at home. Cherish those beyond whatever happens in the world today and hey-buy my book or google a good recipe and make a homemade meal. It’ll nourish you beyond the calories. Sending y’all love. Stay safe and don’t check the news more than once a day! #coronavirus #magicmoments

Missing my little youngest this weekend away! Brin Missing my little youngest this weekend away! Bringing your kids into the kitchen and involving them in the cooking process is a great way to spend time together and secretly inspire them about healthier foods...when they are involved the process and take pride in their creations they are more likely to try new things! If you have really picky eaters at home, think up ways to bring them into the kitchen and some of their favorite foods but with a healthy twist. In my book most recipes have ways to healthily, substitute and make the food YOU want for what YOU crave! Here we are making nut butter chocolate truffles where I use natural peanut butter and sneak in some flax and chia! Happy healthy weekend y’all! #cookingwithkids #foodyouwant

I promise you can. @thejasonkennedy tell them that I promise you can. @thejasonkennedy tell them that they can!

The effortlessness of friendship is hard to descri The effortlessness of friendship is hard to describe. The two of us separated by oceans but never really apart. If you have a special friend in your life you know what I’m talking about. Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love. It’s about love in all forms and the swelling in your heart when you’re around the people you care most about in this world. If you have a special someone, hold on. Invest. Make memories together. It’s what life’s all about. Sending y’all love from the Italian mountains! #valentinesday2020 #italyinmyheart
Happy Valentine’s Day!! This isn’t a stock pho Happy Valentine’s Day!! This isn’t a stock photo! A few years ago I was walking in Laguna beach and found these petals in the sand. I remember that moment as I stood along the ocean with my daughter with tears in my eyes looking at this magical deserted heart we came across. Love has no limits. Love is magic. Enjoy your loved ones today and everyday. I remember imagining this scene. Was it a romantic setup for a valentines kiss? Remnants of a wedding passed? Either way, love is creative. Do something to surprise your someone, nothing more wonderful than the priceless gift of caring. Happy 💕 ❤️ #valentinesday2020
