baked egg in avo

You have all seen it.  You have all drooled over it.  Well, today is the day you should actually make it.  What am I talking about?  It is none other than the famous baked egg in the avocado found all over Pinterest, of course.  Do not be intimidated!  I have had my fair share of Pinterest fails to be sure, but not this time!  This breakfast looks gourmet, yet it is so easy to make–and yummy!

two steps back for four forward

Sometimes when you are busy making heaps of progress, you forget to look back to reflect on how far you’ve come.  When striving for a goal, of course you want to head in the forward direction, but sometimes you have to go backwards to jumpstart yourself.  This concept holds true for all aspects of life: fitness, nutrition, health, heart, happiness, etc.  That is where I am at this current moment.  Without realizing, nor exactly volunteering, I took a few steps backward recently and this is what I discovered… 

miso soup & sushi

I am super behind on posts, but I plan on catching up this week!  I have been so connected via Instagram and now snapchat, that sometimes I forgo the longer posts.  I received a lot of request for my miso soup recipe that I made this weekend, so I figure I will start with that!  Miso soup is my go-to soup when I need something quick and tasty or when my digestive system is out of whack.

Dear Jessi,

I don’t think I have ever been this genuinely and consistently happy as I have this year–and my happiness keeps escalating with  every day.  I have grown tremendously this year.  I’ve learned to let go of things out of my control.  I have learned to dismiss toxic people in my life, and to seek out and pursue only those that can lift me up and enhance my ongoing happiness and harmony.  This summer has been one for the books with so much growth, discovery, detoxification, adventure, love, confidence, and inner peace and contentment that I have not felt in a very long time.  

don’t buy your tomato sauce

Don’t buy your tomato sauce.  Just don’t.  Not convinced?  How about next time you go to the grocery store you check to see the added sugar, salt and preservatives listed on the ingredients list?  If you are shocked by what your eyes read, don’t worry.  It is so simple to make your own tomato sauce.  Just keep on reading!  If you aren’t shocked, nor care, continue on your westernized-grocery store shopping spree and skip this post.
