Tina's Top 2 Staples I talk to my clients a lot about staples and often write about it here Sweet potatoes and avocados are 2 items I can always rely on when shits's getting real and I'm feeling time poor > time positive. Steamable, from the bag - these sweets are a life saver when I'm beat. Eating well is not always about recipes and oodles of cooking, that's unmanageable. And, yes, eating out is a-ok. But being stocked to feed yourself on the fly and learning how to make some different decisions when it comes to feeding ourselves - that's the key to balance. Low on energy? Tired of feeling tired? Let's talk and get you in the habit of eating, living and thinking well. #tinatotable #nomnomsforeveryone #motivationmonday #microwavemonday #getinthekitchen #traveling #homecook #homemade #teaching #food #education #healthymind #healthylife #healthyhabits #eat #realfood #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodgram #energy #balance #mind #body #transformation #avocado (at Astoria, New York)

Sun-Toast, Homemade Grain-ola + Dried Fruit After a few days of travel, eating on the move and not preparing my own food (although I must say craft services did show up with much fresh fruit/vegetables and catering brought the tuna steaks), the simplicity of warm toast topped with a few of my favorite things (and eating it in my own bright and beautiful kitchen) is lighting up my little life right now. #tinatotable #traveling #homecook #allthesmallthings #grateful #gratefulheart #healthymind #healthylife #healthyhabits #eat #realfood #foodstagram #foodgram #foodlover #foodphotography #foodstyling #breakfast #texture #taste #allnatural #vegetarian #vegan #eatwell #livewell #homemade #homesweethome (at Astoria, New York)

People are letting my way too smiley, wacky, butternut squash cradling being into their homes - and I couldn't be happier to take public transportation with roasting trays? Stand all day, walk home, hug people and got to be feeling physically stronger than ever. Gonna keep giving this my whole soul and see how it goes.

Cooking With Gillian (Part 2) We roasted, sautéed, got saucy, got sweet and talked about making creative meal combinations with texture and flavor! From a seasonal pesto and red sauce to kicked up cumin yogurt dip and a sweet and spicy peanut sauce - Gillian now has a flavor toolbox and a popping pantry list so she can dress up her food and veggie meals all week long. Get in the kitchen! COOK and eat in color! It makes all the difference when we play with, have fun, make and take responsibility for cooking our food. Here's to living well! Thank you for sharing your day, your home and your light with me, Gillian. You are forever, here ❤️.

Spiced Carrot Dip Toast w/ Local Microgreens This was lunch and, honestly, I could relive the simple goodness daily. The roasted carrots with cumin and coriander have tremendous flavor that keeps on giving! 1/2 of the carrots were made into dip while the other 1/2 were saved for salads/bowls. Made a White Balsamic Vinaigrette for the greens, so sweet and spicy met for a tasty lil mouth explosion! You can dip it, you can spread it, you can spoon it. What's your fave to make at home? xo #nomnom #vegetables #vegetarian #vegan #eat #realfood #healthymind #healthylife #healthychoices #healthyhabits #healthcoach #food #foodgram #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodstyling #astoria #homecook #homemade #homesweethome #mindful #wellness #cooking #mealprep #mealplan #plantbased #tinatotable #nomnomsforeveryone #getinthekitchen #foodlover (at Astoria, New York)

Monday Breakfast: PB Banana + Some Trimmings Gloomy day = bright breakfast PMS (TMI Tina) = more reason to eat well Quick to make, delicious, nutritious, no cooking required - pb/nut butter toast is a great morning go to. And I know most of you know this. The bigger question is making time to do it. Making food and paying attention to what + how we're eating a priority. How we're feeling everyday. I wanna say I can't make the time magically appear but I actually can, it just takes you being open and honest about how you're feeling, your priorities, telling me about your lifestyle and food. Small shifts lead to big steps and if you're interested in learning more about changing your lifestyle and health so you're not always rushing and qualifying time as something you don't have enough of for yourself (or your family), I'm here. Let's get organized, time positive, get your energy up, get you in the kitchen (at least try :) and feeling bright! DM or email [email protected] for a health consultation! Happy Monday! Make time to sit + eat in color. All love. xo #motivationmonday #breakfast #peanutbutter #vegetarian #vegan #healthymind #healthylife #healthychoices #healthyhabits #maketime #healthcoach #eat #realfood #foodgram #foodstagram #foodphotography #allnatural #snacks #mindful #health #kitchen #organization #plantbased #energized #tinatotable #nomnomnom #nomnomsforeveryone (at Astoria, New York)

#TBT To Kitchen + Cooking Bootcamp In Puerto Rico Swipe left to see photos of the reorganized and restocked cupboards, pantry and refrigerator along with some great photos taken by @cristycocina And if you're not following the mind blowing meals that she's making after a few days in the kitchen together, and some phone calls, then you're missing out. She's on fire with the flavors and meal building! It's exciting to watch and see! Here's to getting more people and families in the kitchen. It's the heart of the home and I feel lucky to share my joy and what I've learned about food + love with others in this way.

Sardine Salad For One Delighting in the gift of a good meal and breeze on the fire escape. Reminded of my trip to Italy where I'd often eat outside, alone, and upon entering the restaurant when I requested a table for one a waiter would often shout SOLA! Sardine Salad For SOLA is playing on a loop in my mind. The canned sardine, hate me for it - I care not - it makes a fantastic dinner a top fresh greens with perfectly plump cucumbers, spicy radishes, soft salty olives and crisp red onions. Dressed with fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper - it's so incredibly perfect in this moment. Tomorrow night I have a dinner guest, so I've been saving my 3 foot squash to share and enjoy with my little Gaaabbbbbaaaagooooollll @gabriellegug and I cannot wait. Prosecco, squash and pasta on the fire escape await. Eating simple is always best. Grandma would be very proud. And sshhh. It'll only take 25 minutes to make. If I prepped the squash ahead, a mere reheat and pasta boil. Cooking fresh can be simple. A little thought, a little shopping, to make a little space to begin cooking. It's what I'm here to share. Tonight's dinner, on the fire escape was prepared in 7 minutes. Get in the kitchen. Sit + plate pretty. xo #nomnom #vegetables #veggies #sardines #eat #realfood #salad #dinner #healthymind #healthylife #healthychoices #healthyhabits #food #foodgram #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodstyling #astoria #homecook #healthcoach #homemade #homesweethome #mindful #wellness #creative #cooking #mealideas #tinatotable #nomnomsforeveryone #gratefulheart (at Astoria, New York)

Tuesday Lunch: Veggie Bonanza Sundays crippling headache left me with veggie left to prep and so prep I did - on a Tuesday. The lunch table is set for my guest @xo.helenguzman Today's meal will be eaten app and snackable style, thinking outside of traditional meals and one note dishes so there's lots to enjoy and lots for me to play with all week long! Simple is best. 1. Tray of roasted veggies 2. Bulgarian feta 3. Cucumber and tomato salad 4. Rice Salad with sweet potato, yellow split pease, red onions and dried cranberries tossed with a homemade turmeric dressing 5. Red lentil dip (center) with cilantro and pan sautéed tomatoes 6. Sliced Farmers Market radishes for crunch and dipping (I couldn't resist locking them up) Will likely throw in an avocado. Toasts will be made upon arrival. Happy Tuesday and meal transformations to come! xo #nomnom #vegetables #eat #realfood #lunch #dinner #healthymind #healthylife #healthychoices #healthyhabits #healthcoach #food #foodgram #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodstyling #astoria #homecook #homemade #homesweethome #mindful #wellness #creative #cooking #mealprep #mealplan #plantbased #tinatotable (at Astoria, New York)

Meal Prep Didn’t Happen, But A 15 Minute Dinner Did A headache crushed my plans today. Beach to kitchen, or so I thought. So, what does one hungry woman do when this happens? The headache was and is passing but I still didn’t feel like doing a cook. Instead, I grabbed all of the freshness from my fridge and freestyled a salad. A bowl. A bowl of simple, nourishing goodness. Components included: 1. Italian Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil *no need for tuna as this salad easily stands on its own with flavor - and if you're #vegan or #vegetarian and need another pop/some heft - sprinkle with lentils or cannellini beans - they won't disappoint 2. Celery Leaves 3. Jalapeno 4. Tomato 5. Red Onion 6. Olives 7. Radishes 8. Radish Greens *DO NOT toss your radish or beet greens, ever! They are a pesto, sauté or salad waiting to happen! 9. Pan Fried Zucchini *prepared on the fly 10. Parsley Pesto *prepared on the fly With 15 minutes of chopping and a toss of some ingredients in the food processor, dinner was on the table in no time tonight. I even got to enjoy it on the balcony (aka the fire escape, followed by meeting my mom + dad in Face Space) Food for the tummy and for the soul on a Sunday. xo #nomnom #vegetables #eat #realfood #lunch #dinner #healthymind #healthylife #healthychoices #healthyhabits #healthcoach #food #foodgram #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodstyling #astoria #homecook #homemade #homesweethome #mindful #wellness #creative #cooking #mealprep #mealplan #plantbased #tinatotable (at Astoria, New York)
