True story: you can’t go wrong with a dish made

True story: you can’t go wrong with a dish made up of noodles or a spicy peanut sauce. And this dish has both 💯👌🏻😋 #sendnoods. I thoroughly enjoyed slurping up these soba noodles tossed in a creamy, sriracha-garlicky peanut sauce with crunchy celery and Napa cabbage. Oh yeah, this dish takes only 20 minutes to make too 🙌.

Happy #nationalgrilledcheeseday with this brie, arugula & prosciutto grilled cheese! This is for when you want something a little more than a classic grilled cheese, save the recipe for later 🔥🧀🍞. Brie melts like no other and that makes it ideal for a grilled cheese. Add to that some sweet fig jam, peppery arugula and crispy prosciutto and it hits all the flavour notes 😋.

Here’s what you’ll need
- Mayo
- Bread of your choice (I like sourdough)
- Fig jam
- Slices of brie cheese (about 2 oz per serving)
- Handful arugula
- Thinly sliced prosciutto
.
How to make:
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Brush both outside pieces of bread with mayo (or use butter).
- Spread the fig jam on the inside, then add the brie, prosciutto and arugula on top.
- Close the sandwich and cook for about four minutes per side, until nice and golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Enjoy!

Mid week reminder: don’t put on a clean shirt wh

Mid week reminder: don’t put on a clean shirt when you’re in the kitchen 🙈. Because if you’re like me (or 95% of people - totally accurate number btw) you will spill something on it. And life is too short to have to stop and do a load of laundry when you’re baking banana bread 🍌. But like a true professional, I just kept on going 😅.

What four letter word immediately came out of my mouth after noticing I dirtied my shirt 🤬🤣😬 #aintnobodygottimeforthat 📸 @juniper.island @merrysomers

CREAMY CARROT PASTA SAUCE: ahhh this sauce you guys 🤯. Who knew carrots could be roasted and then blended into an absolute FIRE 🔥 dairy-free sauce?! Well they can! And I highly suggest trying this out soon 😍🥕. Topped with a carrot top + parsley + pine nut gremolata, you really will find a whole new appreciation for carrots. Adding some Aleppo pepper flakes into the gremolata will bring some heat and round out the natural sweetness of the carrots.

Quick dinner idea! Seared scallops + brown butter

Quick dinner idea! Seared scallops + brown butter + crispy pancetta + crispy capers 🤤. I know, I know, scallops are kinda fancy and intimidating but they’re actually fairly easy to cook. Some tips for preparing scallops, pat them dry VERY well with paper towel. Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add some oil (evoo works the best). Once the skillet is hot, sear those scallops for about 2 minutes (depending on size) and then flip and sear the other side. When they’re almost done cooking, add some butter or ghee to the skillet right at the end and spoon it all over the scallops👌🏻. By doing this, you’ll get a nice browned crust which is exactly what you want in a scallop.
.
Last tip - if you can get scallops from Costco (in the freezer section) that will be the best price (that I’ve found) and they taste 💯. The full recipe for these will be over on @rily.good so be sure to check them out over there!

BANANA BREAD BLENDED BAKED OATS: okay viral baked

For caramelized banana topping:

.
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Add all ingredients from the oats to the cinnamon in a blender & blend very well until smooth.
Pour into a greased small baking dish or ramekin (any small oven safe dish will work). Top with chocolate chips.
Bake for 22-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Meanwhile heat a small skillet over medium heat & add the coconut oil & then add the banana and sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through until caramelized & soft. Remove from heat.
Top your baked oats with the caramelized banana & dig in!

SALTED CHOCOLATE TAHINI SMOOTHIE: this smoothie ha

SALTED CHOCOLATE TAHINI SMOOTHIE: this smoothie has been on repeat lately and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon 😍🍫. Save this for later!! I love the hidden veggies in it that you won’t even know are in there. My two secret smoothie ingredients are frozen romaine lettuce and frozen peeled zucchini. Both add a boost of of veggies without altering the taste or colour too much. I highly suggest freezing some away next time you have them and using them in this smoothie!

- 3-4 frozen romaine lettuce
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup frozen peeled zucchini chunks

How to make:
- add all ingredients into your @vitamix blender and blend on high until smooth. Add more liquid as needed to your desired consistency, I like my smoothies very thickkk.

BRIE, ARUGULA & PROSCIUTTO GRILLED CHEESE: when yo

BRIE, ARUGULA & PROSCIUTTO GRILLED CHEESE: when you want more than a classic grilled cheese, make this! And save the recipe for later 🔥🧀🍞. Brie melts like no other and makes for a mean grilled cheese. Add to that some sweet fig jam, peppery arugula and crispy prosciutto and it hits all the flavour notes.
.
Here’s what you’ll need
- Mayo
- Bread of your choice (I like sourdough)
- Fig jam
- Slices of brie cheese (about 2 oz per serving)
- Handful arugula
- Thinly sliced prosciutto
.
How to make:
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Brush both outside pieces of bread with mayo (or use butter).
- Spread the fig jam on the inside, then add the brie, prosciutto and arugula on top.
- Close the sandwich and cook for about four minutes per side, until nice and golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Enjoy!
.

The trick is to cook this grilled cheese (or any grilled cheese) over medium low heat. This creates a nice crust without burning and allows time for the cheese to melt. Thanks @shaynegold87 for the tip and making this epic sandwich 🥪.

What’s your fave cheese to use in a grilled cheese?

LIFE UPDATE: I can confidently say that I truly ne

WHY I WROTE DITCH THE DIET: When the idea was firs

WHY I WROTE DITCH THE DIET: When the idea was first proposed to me to write this book back in September 2019, I thought it was a joke. But, after realizing this was in fact the real deal, I jumped at the chance. Writing has always been a favourite activity of mine. I’m much better at expressing myself through written word. And when we nailed down a rough outline of the book, I knew exactly why I had to write it. In fact, I had three big reasons for writing it. I’ll be sharing those with you over the next little bit.

First, I wrote it for my mom. My mom was a lifelong dieter, who tried every diet, counted her calores, weighed her food, chose low-fat over nourishing fats & was generally very dissatisfied with her appearance. She was like this for as long as I can remember. I had witnessed her try every diet & saw the look in her eyes when another one failed. I heard the comments she made about her body, the jokes she’d make at her own expense. I thought this was normal, it was what *all* women did.
.
And at 54, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. And you know what no longer served her - dieting. None of that mattered anymore. Because now, she was fighting just to stay alive, hoping to make it a few months to meet her first grandchild. Watching her in pain, no longer being able to eat anything & losing weight was the exact opposite of what she had struggled with for so long. And it broke my fucking heart 💔. So I wanted to write this book & hopefully help someone else from falling victim to diet culture & this endless pursuit of wellness via thinness. It’s not too late to change, to disengage from diet culture & learn to embrace you, just as you are.
.
Life is short. I don’t want to see another person miss out on experiencing things because they don’t feel worthy or thin enough. Unfortunately, I can’t go back in time & show my mom just how worthy she was all along. So I do hope that I can show someone else.
.
One of my fav recipes from my mom was her 🍌 bread. So of course I made my own version of it & it’s in my book 📖. Pre-order is available now on Amazon and Indigo. Link is in my bio ❤️. 📸 @merrysomers @juniper.island
