Anyone else craving some good old fashioned bagels

Anyone else craving some good old fashioned bagels for the weekend? My Paleo Everything Bagels are one of my favorites to make, not only because they’re the perfect breakfast staple, but they’re also made with @ottos_cassava_flour so they’re also nut free as well. They also have the husband stamp of approval. G E T T H E R E C I P E 👉🏻 https://losingitwithmelissa.com/paleo-bagels/

✨How are you showing up for yourself in this mom

✨How are you showing up for yourself in this moment?✨ Trust me, I know better than anyone else that in times of turmoil how easy it is to fall into old patterns. These old patterns are what I believed kept me safe when anxiety hit. And I’ll be completely honest I have found myself turning to old habits the past few weeks. Overspending, worrying, all things I believed served me at one point (even though I wonder how, they brought me comfort at one point). But I recognize that those patterns no longer serve me. And they’re no longer serving you either. Now more than ever it’s important to prioritize how we are showing up as our best version of ourselves everyday. We have a choice. How can you do that? Sitting down at the table to eat a meal instead of with the television or cellphone. Getting in some sort of movement, even if it’s just doing the laundry. Allowing yourself to be sad or afraid, but not allowing yourself to stay in that place. Make a plan. Share below, how are you showing up for yourself in this time? My hope is that we can use this to help uplift each other ♥️ 📸 @risephoto.co #losingitwithmelissa #everysquareastory #raiseyourvibrations

Looking for a quick and easy recipe that you can make with ingredients you have on hand? Then make sure you save these paleo chicken fingers for later! What’s great about these paleo chicken fingers is that you can cook them in the oven, or air fryer, it’s totally up to you. They come out crispy either way, and are a great meal prep option to have on hand during the week.

Need some ideas for those blueberries in the fridge that are about to go bad AND want to participate in Toast Tuesday? Make blueberry chia seed jam! It’s incredibly easy to make and does not require a ton of ingredients. Best thing is to, you can place the jam and store it in an air tight container so you can extend those blueberries a little bit longer! What you’ll need: 1. 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries 2. 2 tbsp chia seeds 3. 1 tbsp water 4. 1 tsp date syrup (optional) Start out by heating all of the ingredients in a small saucepan on low to medium heat. Using a fork, start smashing the blueberries until they reach a jelly consistency. You can store the jam in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week. #losingitwithmelissa #almondbutter #toasttuesday

"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is p

"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful." - Alice Walker Have you been feeling bent and contorted in all sorts of ways lately? I know I have 🙋🏼‍♀️ There’s a beauty that’s still present through all of the madness, whether it be in your own personal growth, presence with family members, or just time to be in nature. Some ways that you can take a step back and see the beauty in the storms: 1) Daily gratitude journal - I love using @fiveminutejournal every morning to write down 3 things I’m grateful for. Starting out the day writing down what you are grateful for helps you stay present throughout the day. 2. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep! Anxiety loves to creep in when you’re sleep deprived. Ever notice on the days you didn’t get enough sleep how you want to go on a rage when you stub your toe? Make sure you’re getting those zzz’s. 3. Surround yourself with people who will help you see the beauty through the difficult times. They won’t sugar coat it, but they’ll help you see a different perspective. 📸 @vanessasimsphoto #losingitwithmelissa #everysquareastory #soulwork

Can we talk about how comforting a big bowl of soup is for a minute? It was always that go to staple mom would make anytime I was sick. Soup is almost like a giant hug in a bowl and I’m here for it. @bonafideprovisions butternut squash soup with a splash of @elmhurst1925 cashew milk and some parsley. Also dipped in a slice of @awgbakery everyday bread. #losingitwithmelissa #soupseason #soupoftheday

Is there any better way to start a Saturday than with a plate full of blueberry pancakes? I think not. 🥞 I’ll be honest I’m usually not much of a pancake girl myself, but sometimes you just need a plate of pancake goodness. I used @birchbenders paleo pancake a waffle mix and added in blueberries. I also added in some @vitalproteins collagen peptides for some extra gut love. #losingitwithmelissa #pancakestack #paleopancakes

Did you know that your mouth contains beneficial bacteria just like the gut? I know gut health is a hot topic, but good and bad bacteria is also naturally present on our skin and especially in our mouths. Prebiotics work by promoting the growth of good bacteria by feeding them, starving out the bad bacteria that can cause bad breath and body odor. Enter @toms_of_maine new line of Prebiotic Care including hand soap, deodorant and toothpaste. The new line from @toms_of_maine supports your body’s good bacteria to maintain a healthy balance, keeping breath fresh and body odors under wraps.

Hands down one of my favorite recipes to meal prep

Hands down one of my favorite recipes to meal prep for the week has to be these Sweet Potato Salmon Patties. They’re perfect because you can use fresh or canned salmon, and a lot of the ingredients you already have on hand! I love eating these warm with some arugula and @simplemills crackers, but you can also eat them cold as well.
