Cook Egg-
I like to cook mine overeasy. But you can make yours how you like. While your eggs are cooking, put your bread in a toaster oven. This will crisp it up and make it more like toast.
Cut your bread in half, put your eggs in the middle. (you can also add bacon or sausage if you wish or lettuce and tomato).
Top your sandwich with everything but the bagel seasoning and enjoy!

Everyone loves a good bowl of chips and guac. However, most chips are filled with ingredients that will wreak havoc on your gut. On today’s post I will tell you how to make your own chips and a very basic guac recipe.
Almond Flour Tortilla Chips
Disclaimer- these will not taste like regular chips. They are a little more dense. I would describe it as more of a cracker.
Ingredients:
2 Cups almond flour
1/2 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1tsp salt
2tsp cayenne pepper (i honestly did like a tablespoon. i like things spicy)
1 large egg
a dash of water (this part is tricky so pay attention)
To make:
Guacamole
Ingredients:
3 avacados
1/2 tomato
2 garlic wedges
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 lime juiced
cilantro to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mush with a fork until desired consistency.
Fun facts:
Avocados- have more potassium that a banana. they are actually a fruit. they have 4 grams of protein. They help fight stress due to their abundance of B vitamins. The majority of an avocados calories come from fat. (don’t let that scare you. your body NEEDS healthy fats to survive.)
This soup is perfect way to warm your soul on a cold day.
Ingredients:
1/2 head of cauliflower
1/4 cup almond milk
1Tbsp butter
1lb of shredded chicken (cooked)
a good amount of celery
1/2 onion
as much kale as your heart desires
jalapenos (optional)
salt, pepper, thyme, garlic powder, cayenne, all to taste.
Lets get cooking!
Get a big pot, put cauliflower into it and cover the cauliflower with water. Let this steam/simmer until the cauliflower is soft. Add almond milk and set aside. (I set it in a blender to be used later)
Put your butter in the bottom of a pot, and saute the onions and celery. add chicken and spices. cook until fragrant.
Blend you cauliflower, water, & almond milk mixture until your get a smooth texture. add this to the pot of chicken and vegetables and put on a low simmer *this is important because almond milk will separate if the temperature is too high. this doesn’t affect the flavor, but its not appealing to look at. *
Let this simmer for 10 minutes. Add the kale, some more spices, and simmer for five minutes or until the kale is softened.
It is ready to be served!
Cayenne- great anti inflammatory spice
Cauliflower- high in fiber & vitamin B
Grass fed butter- a healthy fat vital for cells
If you want this soup to be extra spicy, add the jalapenos. My somewhat particular husband enjoyed this dish therefore if you’re worried about your spouse not liking it, give it a try!

Have you ever felt like you actually knew what you were doing as an adult? Or do you mostly feel like you’re constantly “winging it“? Thats me. Im a wife to an amazing husband and a mother to two sweet kiddos. I get through each day the best that I can. There is no instruction manual for this. There is no “what do I do if my daughter just colored on my sons head” magic cure. You just do the best you can, have lots of baby wipes on hand, and take each moment in as it comes. In the meantime I hope little things I’ve learned while “adulting” and motherhood can somehow help you. Whether it be learning a new recipe, household hacks, or exploring what self care means to you, I am here to support your adulthood journey in any way that I can. Welcome to my blog.
