    Yeah! I have a lot of local games where I live and there's a lot of local produce. Also markets are great to find nice stuff

    Waiting for water to boil is enraging!

    I always go "A watched pot never boils... a watched pot never boils..." and walk away, and then return two seconds later to check on it :']

    LadySpark's Favorite Fiber Fueled Smoothie

    We are on our fiber journey, below is my favorite smoothie combo to make sure we're getting a good dose of fiber each day. Eyeball amounts depending on taste preference.

    *the night before, I will soak 1 tbsp of chia seeds in 3 tbsp of water*


    - strawberries & raspberries
    - overnight soaked chia seeds
    - your choice of dairy/non-dairy milk
    - plain greek yogurt
    - honey
    - protein powder of choice - vanilla flavored

    *if you really want the fiber boost, add 2 tsp of benefiber or any other powdered fiber supplement per serving. With the benefiber, I'd estimate around 12g of fiber -- without is around 8-9!

    *Remember to stay extra hydrated if you're increasing fiber intake!*

    In an effort to support the revival and updates to the Clubs tab, and to celebrate the growth and progress Si and I have made in eating and cooking at home, LadySpark's Cookbook has a fresh face - we are now Cooking with LadySpark! I'll get back to posting here regularly soon, but for now, here's a throwback to an old post: Nutrient Profile: Fiber.

    Fiber is getting their day in the sun on social media right now, and adding fiber rich foods to my diet has improved my digestion and overall health so much over the past 3 years. I'll make sure to post some of my favorite recipes that feature fiber very soon!

    Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes




    - 4 small sweet potatoes
    - white miso paste
    - your favorite seasonings (I did garlic/paprika/salt/pepper/chili flakes)
    - 1 container of greek yogurt


    > poke holes in taters and cook for ~50 minutes
    > scoop out the insides of the potatoes, making sure 2 of them can we restuffed later
    > mix all ingredients and then put back in the 2 potatoes skins -- you want it to stay a little lumpy
    > bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes
    > enjoy!

    Loooove twice baked sweet potatoes! I like mixing some cream cheese with the potato insides to make them extra delicious.

    Sharing one of my favorite recipes that I've been cooking lately ~ ordered this one from Hello Fresh just to mix things up and liked it so much that I've cooked it several times myself since. Anyone else had success with any meal prep services? I had never tried any until recently, because I was a little leery about the ingredients being shipped / what sort of quality they'd be - but have been very pleased trying Hello Fresh once in a while here and there to learn new recipes.

    Anyways, here's the recipe for Thai Chili Coconut Smashed Pork Patties from Hello Fresh - > here

    Some tips:
    * If you're not a pork eater, I'm fairly sure this would also taste really good with ground chicken - may need to adjust cooking time slightly, but would still be delicious.
    * Finding "sweet Thai chili sauce" is a little iffy in my town - but lo and behold there is a PF Changs & Panda Express brand version at walmart that works just fine - > used about a tablespoon and a half.
    * Online recipe doesn't give measurements for coconut milk - > I use 1/4 cup for rice, and 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup for the sauce.
    * Coconut rice is so delicious if you eat rice a lot; it's a fun way to mix it up a little without all that much extra effort involved.


Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?
