The coziest way to kick off the season!🍂This

Tis the season for sniffles…hang tight parents-

Tis the season for sniffles…hang tight parents- I’ve had so many of you reach out in the past week to ask what vitamins to give your kids to keep their immune systems healthy this season.Back to school, busy schedules, changing and fluctuating temperatures, stress, and less sleep for everyone, these daily factors can all wreak havoc on the immune system.I believe in the power of supplements- in addition to the nourishing food we eat. There are 3 foundational nutrients I think we should all take (and then a few more depending on your personal needs and wellness goals.) We trust @naturalfactors Big Friends for our kids vitamin needs.☀️ Vitamin D3- also known as the sunshine vitamin. So it makes sense during the fall and winter our bodies are just not able to make as much of this essential hormone. 400-800 IU per day is ideal.
🍎 Multi-vitamin- provides them min recommended amount of vitamins and minerals needed for general health and wellness.
🐟 Omega-3, EPA and DHA are found in cold water fatty fish such as sardines, anchovies and mackerel, salmon, cod, and halibut. BUT most of us are not eating enough fish to satisfy daily requirements. Omega-3s support immune system, emotional and mental health, learning and memory, and visual acuity. There are so many good reasons to add a high quality omega-3 to your family diet such as @sea_licious.Magnesium and probiotics might also be nutrients to consider adding depending on your child’s needs.Wishing you a healthy fall transition. Stay warm and cozy, hydrated, rested, and nourished. Extra hugs and laughs each day will also feel the body and soul! ✨🤗🥰Xo

Market inspo! I mean how gorgeous is fall- I love it so much. The season of cozy, candles, warming flavours and roasting🍂🌻✨.When I saw these cauliflower still in their gorgeous green leaves, I remembered how much I love them. Yes I’m that person at the market taking pictures of the food, lol.😂From soup, hummus, smoothies, “steaks”, pasta sauce, braised, and salads, there are so many versatile and delicious ways to enjoy this power veg. What’s your favorite way to enjoy cauli?💛

Meal planning and having a well-stocked fridge and

Meal planning and having a well-stocked fridge and pantry are key to enjoying delicious and nourishing meals during the busy week-day evenings. I shared a few of our schedules this past week up in my stories, and I know you guys can relate to how crazy it can actually be!🤪Over the years I’ve gathered many tips and tricks to help make my kitchen run smoothly and efficiently. There are so many benefits to meal planning from saving time, money, wasting less food, eating healthy, and just feeling less stressed.Soup is always on our weekly menu so today I’m sharing a new green minestrone - the perfect soup to take advantage of all the late summer/early fall produce! A yummy finish is a drizzle of olive oil, and grated Parmesan. So good!Green Minestrone
