Cranberry Coconut Skillet Granola

 

This post is in partnership with The Quaker Oats Company. Thanks for supporting everything that makes nutrition happen!

As you may know I’ve been a Quaker Partner for a few years now but it’s not only because I’m an oatmeal fanatic, we both advocate for the same issues that face our communities. Food insecurity is still a big problem across this country, and especially in a year like this people are facing several challenges on top of trying to provide food for their families.

New year = more opportunities to try something new using Quaker oatmeal! If you’re looking for a few easy and attainable ways to help support your health this year, start with something small – like making sure you’re including oats into at least one meal a day. Consuming oats over the course of the day can help increase whole grain consumption. Since there are several ways to use it in different recipes, it’s a very convenient way to help add some additional nutrition. Whether you’re looking to make something savory or you’re trying to satisfy your sweet tooth, there’s an oatmeal recipe for that!

32 Small Candle Companies to Support (Chicago Local, Female + BIPOC Owned!)

I’ve rounded up 32 different candle brands for you to support this season as you purchase gifts for yourself or someone special. These candles are all tried by yours truly because I’m that scent-obsessed. Plus, now more than ever small businesses are looking for our support so if you think a candle would be the perfect little gift, consider ordering from one of these small businesses. They’re such a special way to make even the smallest moments a little more special.

Do you ever associate a scent to a memory? I definitely do and each scent reminds me of a different season in my life – just like how people associate songs or homemade meals with memories. I always light a candle when I end the workday to make that transition from work mode to relax mode a little more official. 

A few of my candle criteria’s:
 
  1. The scents have to layer well and not be super intrusive – I’m a big fan of the woodsy scents but like them to not be super overpowering.
  2. Preferably no paraffin wax – all of these should be soy or coconut wax-based.
  3. Doubles as decor! Must be aesthetically pleasing (yes, I said it.).
  4. As many local + female + BIPOC-owned businesses as possible.
 
You might have noticed a little color palette going on here. I love having a neutral space so everything here are in shades of black, white, and grey with some gold accents here and there to match. 
 
Some of the businesses give back to the community so by supporting them, you’re also supporting their community. Aside from the locals and the women/ BIPOC-owned picks, I did include my tried and true cult favorites like Le Labo, Byredo, and Diptyque  at the end because they are classics for a reason. If you could find these at your local boutiques or small shops – even better! I know Alice & Wonder here in Chicago carries the Canceled Plans candles. Happy shopping and cheers to your space smelling amazing everyday! *Note – I get no kickback or commission from any links in this post. Just wanted to share these with you all!

Navigating Food Comparisons on the Internet…A Few Reminders. 

 
It’s been the year of changes for us all and I’m sure all of us have been impacted one way or another by the year that is 2020. Those changes might have included something related to our eating routines, habits or food choices – and maybe that caught you off guard a little and you’re still trying to navigate those changes. Trust me when I say, you’re not the only one – throughout my entire year of working with clients, everyone has expressed this concern. Some days I have to deal with those changes myself too, as an RD – we’re still in a pandemic after all. 
 
And with the holidays coming up, all of us are bound to see some changes in the next few weeks too, so consider this your pep-talk to get your mindset right. Not only right now in this moment but moving forward every day! I’ve had this chat with clients on navigating food comparisons on social media / the internet before so I thought I would be extra generous and give you some insights on some of the reminders I give them.
