Today I’m sharing a dairy-free and gluten-free recipe for Mediterranean egg bites. Try this as a high-protein meal prep option!

Hey hey! How’s the week going? I hope you’re having a great one so far! It’s been busy as usual – but I’m looking forward to some weekend fun with the crew. 🙂

Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy-free)

For today’s post, I’m so excited to share a recipe that we’ve all been enjoying lately: Mediterranean egg bites. I made a batch as part of meal prep and they made amazing quick breakfast and lunchtime staples. (I also love them in a Siete almond flour tortilla!) In addition, they freeze beautifully and the kids love them, too.

(I would be happy to say that Maisey didn’t try any of these, but she might have stolen one or four from the countertop.)

When I have a savory and protein-packed breakfast, I feel more satisfied throughout the morning and don’t feel like I crave sweets or sugar as much throughout the day. In fact, this is a great meal idea for metabolic flexibility. And you could just enjoy the egg bites first before heading into fruit or oatmeal as a full breakfast.

How to teach kids healthy eating habits

Sharing some tips about teaching kids healthy eating habits.

Hi friends! I hope you’re having an amazing week. We’re off to San Diego – I can’t wait!! – and I’ll definitely post the adventures over on Instagram stories.

To introduce new friends to the blog, I write posts each week for search purposes. This is one of those posts, so if you’re new here, Hi!! and please join my weekly newsletter if you’d like to stick around for updates. <3

Today’s topic is an important one, and I’m sure many of my friends out there have some amazing advice to share in the comments.

Teaching kids about healthy habits early on is one of the most important things we can do as parents. Healthy eating habits can be instilled at home, and it sets the foundation for a lifetime of well-being. The teaching process can be long, challenging, and sometimes overwhelming, especially with picky eaters and the abundance of processed foods available.

Today, I wanted to chat about some practical and effective tips on how to teach kids healthy eating habits in a way that’s enjoyable, sustainable, and stress-free.

How To Teach Kids Healthy Eating Habits

Developing a positive relationship with food starts young. Kids learn best by example, and parents play a huge role in shaping their children’s food choices. Today, I’m share some thoughts on why teaching healthy eating habits is crucial, how to encourage kids to make nutritious choices, and some easy habits to introduce at home.

A friendly note here that I’m NOT perfect and this is always a work in progress. Our kids definitely still have sugar, food dyes, and processed foods, but this is the exception, not the rule. Thankfully, they eat a lot of fresh, organic, whole foods, and for the most part, fuel their little bodies really well. They’re great eaters, and these are just some of the things that have helped us. This post is for informational purposes and not medical advice.

Why Are Healthy Eating Habits Important For Kids

Healthy eating habits formed in childhood often carry into adulthood, impacting long-term health, weight management, and overall well-being.

Teaching kids to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods helps:

Support proper growth and development

Strengthen the immune system

Establish good eating habits that prevent future health issues

Reduce reliance on ultra-processed foods high in added sugars and unhealthy fats

Encourage a positive relationship with food and an appreciation for balanced meals

It’s much easier to shape a child’s eating habits early on rather than trying to change unhealthy patterns later in life.

The best nontoxic air fryers

Sharing a roundup of the best nontoxic air fryers. 

Hi friends! Happy Monday and happy St. Patrick’s Day! What do you have going on? P has spring break, the girls have their usual activities, and we’re headed to San Diego later this week. I.can’t.wait.

For today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about nontoxic air fryers and share the one I’ve been using and loving for the past few months. Before I share some options, I wanted to tell you about our original air fryer that I got a few years ago.

When I first got an air fryer, I was PUMPED. I knew it would be like the Instant Pot; something that intimidated me, but that I’d end up using every day.

Before using it for the first time, I read online that it was important to wash it with soap and water and let it run for a few hours to get rid of the chemical smell. That should have been a red flag, but I did it. I washed it well, and let it run for a few hours while we were home. Our house was immediately infused with a plastic smell, and I had to open the back door to air out our house. After a few hours, I made a sausage, potato, bell pepper, and onion situation. Everything cooked beautifully — it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

We ate most of our meals, called it a night… and the girls and I were violently ill all night. I haven’t been that sick since I was a kid… it was BAD. We thought it was the food, but looking back, it was definitely the air fryer.

Since we thought it was just a bad night of food, I used it again a few weeks later, and everything was fine. I probably used it hundreds of times after that.

(Rest in power)

Every time I took it out, it crossed my mind that the nonstick coating probably wasn’t the healthiest, but as someone who has to get food on the table quickly (like all moms), I was just like whatever. When I went through my big health journey, I made more changes around the house, and getting a new air fryer was one of the last things on the list.

February reader faves! It’s always fun to go through analytics and see which products you enjoyed the most that I’ve shared here on the blog.

Souper cubes. I love using these to freeze leftovers and it’s also how I freeze Maisey’s homemade dog food.

A roundup of the books I read in February and if I’d recommend adding them to your collection.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re enjoying the week so far! I’m teaching a barre class today and looking forward to a juice date with a friend.

For today’s post, I’m sharing a roundup of the books I read in February and if I’d recommend adding them to your TBR list. After being in a slump with books for a while, and with launching Healing Code + working on IHP3, I read three books last month, which I’m calling a win.

Here’s the full roundup:

February 2025 Reads

The Lotus Shoes

I’ve been interested in Chinese historical fiction (LOVED Lady Tan’s Circle of Women) and this one caught my eye. This book is about the story of Little Flower, who is sold as a muiazi (maidservant) to a prominent family. She has bound feet and is talented in emboirdery, which are two characteristics typically reserved for the higher classes. This book was action-packed – it started off quickly and kept the same pace, which made it easy to read quickly – but shattered my heart so many times. It was a testament to the power of resilience, even when it seems like everything is stacked against your favor. 10/10- highly recommend it if you enjoy historical fiction.

From Amazon:

1800s China. Tightly bound feet, or “golden lilies,” are the mark of an honorable woman, eclipsing beauty, a rich dowry and even bloodline in the marriage stakes. When Little Flower is sold as a maidservant—a muizai—to Linjing, a daughter of the prominent Fong family, she clings to the hope that one day her golden lilies will lead her out of slavery.

Not only does Little Flower have bound feet, uncommon for a muizai, but she is extraordinarily gifted at embroidery, a skill associated with the highest class of a lady. Resentful of her talents, Linjing does everything in her power to thwart Little Flower’s escape.

But when scandal strikes the Fongs, both women are cast out to the Celibate Sisterhood, where Little Flower’s ar
