why add fruit on top of your waffles when you can put fruit IN THE WAFFLES?!?! nutrition bonus: the eye health-promoting beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin in blueberries are made MORE available throughout digestion when eaten warm

pumpkin and its seeds are packed with yummy nutrients. when served together, these everyday super foods maximize iron absorption from the seeds (pepitas) with the help of Vitamin C in the pumpkin flesh/purée!

starting this new year off right with a giant cast iron full of chopped veggies (butternut squash, watermelon radish, celeriac, white sweet potato) straight into the oven after a dash of olive oil and fresh cracked pepper with a side cameo by the adorable polka who has a secret wish to eat all of this before we notice

hello from my happy morning nook :) enjoying oatmeal+banana+hemp fiber+hemp hearts+apple+goji berries+pepitas+all the cinnamon (and a coffee)

butternut squash 🍠 and pumpkin 🎃deliciousness for breakfast (yes! breakfast!) – this gloomy 🌥 day needed some balance so I added some sparkle ✨ (#nutritiontip #betacarotene is more available to your body when served warm and with a #MUFA or #PUFA – mono- and polyunsaturated fats – like #oliveoil). this beauty also has #turmeric and fresh ground black pepper (the #piperine in the pepper makes the #curcumin in the turmeric more bioavailable to your bod as you digest!)

sparkle water in my sparkle cup ✨ #mindful #nutritiontip: sometimes I forget to stay hydrated in the winter! don’t you?! when I realize I have lost mindfulness in this area I pick up a 2-liter of sparkle water (club soda or seltzer) to bring some fun back into hydration. I choose those without flavor so I can add fresh fruit to mine 🍓🍋🍇🍉 Sometimes all you need is a little fun change to #bepresent and remind your body what it needs

have you ever had elote?!?!?! 🌽🌽🌽 this street food is one of my favorites of all time and reminds me of the summer I spent in Mexico, events at Echo Park in my old stomping grounds in Los Angeles, and is part of my favorite Cuban spot here in NYC. this is the best here 🙌🏼 no contest 👍🏼 one deliciously sweet ear of corn, a little mayo, cojita cheese, cayenne, and a splash of fresh squeezed lime juice #GETINMYFACE #elote #mayonesa #lime #corn #streetfood #summervibes #thisisfall #mexico #delicious #umyum #eeeeeats #noms #food #foodgasm #foodporn #🌽 #vegetarian #fresh #cheese #eatyourveggies #veghead #jennapproved #nolita #soho #manhattan #nyc #cafehabana #cuban #cubano (at Cafe Habana)

quince paste and quince topping!!! so busy admiring and eating this deliciousness I forgot that I said I would post it yesterday! (oops!) let me tell you something -- quince was seriously missing from my life. the rose smell and color of the topping (cooked twice as long) is still in my kitchen a day later and it is relaxing and rejuvenating! get your hands on some #local #quince and make one or both of these to try it out!!! (thanks again @localrootsnyc @redjacketny!) quince #chia paste #instarecipe - 3 quince - 3/4 cup chia seeds 1. cut quince and remove core, chop into 1-inch pieces 2. boil in 4 cups water for 1-3 hours with lid on pan (the longer you let it go, the darker and rosier this quince situation will get!) 3. let cool, then purée with hand blender or food processor, add water if needed to get to syrup-like thickness 4. add chia seeds and incorporate completely 5. let sit for 1 hour to overnight in fridge (the result will be similar in consistency to apple sauce) quince strawberry topping with cinnamon - 1 quince - 3 strawberries, chopped - 1 tsp cinnamon 1. cut quince and remove core, chop into 1-inch pieces 2. boil in 1 1/2 cups water for 2 hours with lid on pan (the longer, the darker!) 3. drain off any remaining water (there should be little to none, mine was gone and a bit of a Malliard reaction had started - yum!!!) 4. add cinnamon and strawberries (I had some end-of-season berries waiting for me, but you could easily substitute any other sweet fruit) 5. cook on low for 10 minutes until strawberries begin to disintegrate 6. serve over ice cream, nice cream, whole grain toast, pancakes or anywhere else that you want to add a gorgeous splash of yum!!! #umyum #noms #eeeeeats #food #foodie #recipe #cook #homemade #madewithlocalroots #eatlocal #localfood #vegan #vegetarian #wholefoods #realfood #eatrealfood #chiaseeds #fiber #fruit #foodfun #foodgasm #foodporn #getinmyface #jennapproved #jenniknutrition #foodtography
