Luckily it's a question that I can easily answer since I made sure to stock up on the essentials. From frozen to shelf-stable foods, having my freezer and pantry stocked up with what I need to easily prepare healthy meals has helped me avoid the long lines at the grocery store.

If you're in the same boat and are looking for some healthy recipes that you can make with the stuff in your fridge you're going to love this blog post! Click through for 7 delicious recipes that you can easily make using the stuff that's already in your freezer, fridge, and pantry.

I know some people assume that I never have to deal with any challenges as a nutrition coach.

Well, today, I’m giving you a little sneak peek behind the curtain as I get started with my Autoimmune Protocol journey.

After years of struggling with autoimmune systems, I finally got diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren's syndrome.

AND THEN BAM - the pandemic hit and I was presented with the perfect opportunity to make some serious changes to my diet and lifestyle.

That's why I decided to switch things up a bit on A Spoonful of Soul and share my latest cheap pantry meal - AIP-Friendly Curry Scallops and Spinach!

Not only were all these ingredients already in my pantry and freezer, but it's super easy to make! Try it yourself and let me know what you think. Click through to watch!

If you've ever struggled to feed a large family, you're going to want to tune into this interview with my business friend, Apolonia Cross from Plan Her Way to Fit to sharing the hacks that she's using to feed her family on 8 (with #9 on the way!)

The reason that I joined forces with Apolonia is that as a family of one (and a half if you count my dog Penny), I know all too well that not all of the tips I share are going to be applicable to large families. 

I knew that I had to get Apolonia to share exactly how she is doing this with a large family when she’s pregnant while running an online business, during a pandemic. In this special episode of A Spoonful of Soul, we break down exactly how to feed a large family healthy meals with what's already in your pantry. Click through to watch!

But, those times when something I love is in stock is a true gift from God! And, of course, I want to celebrate.

Don't those Facebook memories be getting you sometimes? Taking you back to another time and another place in the world. Well, a time I love to go back to is when I lived in Suriname. It was my first time in South America and I really loved the cuisine, the flavors, and of course the weather.
