Show of hands who’s weekend plans include binge watching Netflix and baking all the things? If you said yes, and absolutely yes then make sure you include these Paleo Carrot Cake Cupcakes on the agenda.

File under: things that make my millennial heart very happy. While I’m still trying to adjust to life outside of my own kitchen, I’ve been making a lot of meals that look like this. They only require one pan, and come together in a few minutes. Win win for all. @vitalfarms egg, @applegate sage breakfast sausages with avocado, hemp seeds and @awgbakery everyday bread. #losingitwithmelissa #avocadolover #toastsforall

I’ll be honest, I have not exercised much in the

I’ll be honest, I have not exercised much in the past year or so, like at all. Between job stress, adulting and whatever else the universe has tossed my way, that part of my self care routine hit the back burner for awhile. My motivation to get in any movement whatsoever had been erased and replaced with burnout. I’m not beating myself up over it, allowing for some grace. But I know how important movement is to me, and how important it is to get that motivation back. So how do you get that motivation back? You’ve gotta make it fun. Don’t do yoga just because they say it’s the thing to do, especially if you don’t enjoy it. Find ways to get in movement everyday that is exciting to you. Lately I’ve been trying something new when I can, and living with my sister who teaches CrossFit, I guess this month it’s CrossFit 🤣 What’s a new exercise you’ve been wanting to try? Drop a comment below and then come back and tell share how you feel after trying something new for the first time! #losingitwithmelissa #exercisemotivation #ﬁtnessmotivation

I can definitely use some quick snack ideas settling in after a move, and I’d say these Paleo Banana Bliss Balls are a good option. I’ll be honest it’s been tough the past few days trying to settle in after moving and being tossed out of my routine. Sometimes you have to make the best with what you have, and since I don’t have too many of my foods on hand yet, these are perfect because they only require three ingredients (four if you drench them in chocolate 😝) Here’s what I used: ✨ 1 bag @wildwayoflife banana paleo granola ✨ 1/2 cup @traderjoes raw almond butter ✨ 1 scoop @vitalproteins collagen peptides (or protein powder of choice) Start out by pouring the bag of granola in the blender and mixing. Add in the collagen peptides, then the almond butter and mix again. If you also want to add in cacao nibs, slowly stir them in after everything is mixed. Using your hands, grab a small spoonful of the mixture and rub it between your palms forming a ball. Do this for the rest of the mix. I placed all of the forked bliss balls in the freezer overnight, then moved the ones I wanted to eat to the refrigerator the next day. You can keep them stored in the freezer for a few months, or the fridge for a few days. #losingitwithmelissa #blissballs #paleosnack

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 fridg

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
