Staying Healthy & Grounded During the Holidays

The holidays bring joy, celebration, and connection—but they can also bring stress, exhaustion, and overwhelm if we’re not careful. This year, I want you to step into the season with peace, intention, and wellness. Here are a few simple ways to stay on track:

🌟 Plan Ahead

Make a list of everything that needs to get done. Putting it on paper frees your mind and gives you clarity.

🌟 Prep Smart, Eat Smart

Prepare meals ahead of time and choose healthier, nourishing versions of your favorite dishes. Your body will thank you later!

**Check out some of our fav recipes below!

🌟 Set the Stage Early

Set your table a couple of days in advance. It not only saves time, but it sets a beautiful tone for what’s ahead.

🌟 Welcome Help with Grace

If someone offers to lend a hand—say yes! Community and togetherness make the holidays richer.

🌟 Protect Your Sleep

Rest is not a luxury—it’s essential. Sleep supports your immune system, mood, and overall well-being.

And when everyone is gathered at the table, I encourage you to take a moment to breathe in the blessings around you. Invite each person to share one thing they’re grateful for. It’s a powerful way to connect hearts and set a spirit of thankfulness over the day.

From my heart to yours, I’m wishing you and your loved ones a Happy, Healthy, and Abundantly Blessed Thanksgiving.

May your home be filled with laughter, love, and moments you’ll cherish long after the leftovers are gone. 🍁🦃💛

God Bless you all –

Robbie & Ann Marie

While the squash is baking, place the broth in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa, return to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 12 minutes, until most of the broth is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive over medium. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 4 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium low. Add the garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook 30 additional seconds, until is fragrant. Stir in the chickpeas, orange zest, orange juice, cooked quinoa, and cranberries.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick border around the sides and a 3/4-inch border along the bottom. Reserve the flesh for another use (or if you don’t mind a super duper stuffed squash, mix it in with the rest of the filling). Stuff the kale quinoa filling into the squash halves, then return the squash to the oven. Bake at 375 degrees until hot, about 10 additional minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and serve warm.

Oooh my!  This is a raw version of a delicious Pecan Pie.  It’s very rich so you won’t need a big slice.  You can try it out for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any occasion.  This pie deserves a celebration all on it’s own.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Blend all Filling ingredients until smooth.  Spread onto your crust and arrange the pecans on top.  Put back in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight, slice.

Enjoy!
