It’s #NationalApplePieDay! 🍎Get in the kitchen today. Get all floured up. And HAVE SOME FUN! ✨⠀
Pies are one of my favorite #bakedgoods to make because you have to be so precise with all the ingredients and measurements. The crust is EVERYTHING. But I never take things too seriously in the kitchen. Clearly. 😉⠀
I’m all about having fun AND producing delicious results! Have some #applepie for me today. BONUS POINTS if it’s homemade! 🥧⠀

Salt is a great way to boost the flavor of your food!
🧂
But not all salt is created equal in terms of #healthbenefits. On the blog, I’m sharing important info on which types of salt you SHOULD and SHOULDN’T be cooking or seasoning your food with.
🧂
Don’t get me wrong...ALL salt has #sodium, but some salts have more health properties than others!

I had the honor of teaching a food demo for @capless_method in April and happy to announce we will be doing another one this summer in June! New menu! New seasonal produce! And new Group! ⠀
⠀
⠀
👇🏻⠀
CaPLESS Eats is where you’ll learn to create a microenvironment hostile to prostate cancer every time you eat by using the principles of the #caplessmethod ⠀
⠀
⠀
Three things are confusing on what to eat to beat prostate cancer: 👇🏻⠀
⠀
1. There's no scientific basis for most proposed diets.⠀
2. Most #diets are not #prostatecancer specific.⠀
3. Recommended diets for prostate cancer are not sustainable. You then feel guilty for not staying with it. ⠀
⠀
⠀
We believe good food is medicine. #foodismedicine ⠀
⠀
Why don't you and your significant other join us to explore the foods and tools important in maintaining a cancer-fighting kitchen? #cancerfighting⠀
⠀
Our whole-foods chef me 👩‍🦰 will take you through an intimate culinary experience of preparing delicious, protective meals while @drgeoespinosa will teach you how to implement the latest science on nutrition to help you live your best life after prostate cancer.

Did you know May is #NationalStrawberryMonth?! 🍓⠀
⠀
I could not be more excited because #strawberries are one of my favorite fruits. 😍⠀
I love using them in my #greensmoothies, as a topping for oatmeal, or mixed into a #yogurtbowl. 🥣⠀
⠀
Plus you can’t beat their nutritional benefits! High in #fiber, #vitaminC, #potassium, and #antioxidants. 🙌🏻⠀
⠀
Tell me your favorite way to use strawberries in the comments below. 👇🏻

Challah at me! 👋This is my new favorite thing to make it is so easy! ⠀
⠀
⠀
CHALLAH 🍞🥖⠀
Yield: 2 large loaves⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Ingredients: ⠀
• 2 1⁄4 cups warm water (110°)⠀
• 1⁄2 cup honey⠀
• 1 tablespoons dry yeast⠀
• 3 large eggs, beaten + 3 egg yolks ⠀
• 1⁄2 cup melted butter⠀
• 2 tablespoons sea salt⠀
• 7-8 cups unbleached white all-purpose flour⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
🥚Egg wash:⠀
3 eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons water⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Directions: ⠀
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. In large bowl, combine water, honey, and yeast. Proof about 10 minutes until mixture is foamy. Add eggs, butter, salt, and just enough flour to create dough that pulls away from sides of bowl.⠀
2. Knead dough about 10 minutes, adding extra flour as necessary, or until smooth dough has been created.⠀
3. Transfer dough to large, clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Proof in warm place for 45-60 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.⠀
4. While dough is proofing, prepare 2 half sheet pans by lining with parchment paper.⠀
5. Turn/fold dough. Rise one more time.⠀
6. Divide dough into two equal portions. Divide each portion of dough into balls equaling number of braids you’ve chosen to make. Roll each ball of dough with your hands on table to form logs of equal width and length (about 1” wide and 10-12” long). Pinch logs of dough together at top and braid dough according to method in attached diagrams.⠀
7. Loosely cover challahs with damp towels and set aside in warm place. Rise until dough has doubled in size, 15 to 20 minutes.⠀
8. Bake bread approximately 30-40 minutes or until dough is thoroughly golden and firm to touch. Internal dough temperature should register between 190° and 205° F. Brush with egg wash few minutes before bread is finished baking.⠀

There’s nothing I love more than picking up #freshtomatoes 🍅from my local #FarmersMarket. 👨🏻‍🌾They are always 1x sweeter and more flavorful than the ones sitting out at the grocery store.⠀
I got a huge container of them this week and I’ll be making a big batch of #picodegallo just in time for #CincoDeMayo! Here’s what I’ll be including in the mix….⠀
-Chopped tomatoes⠀
-Red onion⠀
-Fresh cilantro⠀
-Jalapeno⠀
-Lime juice⠀⠀
-Sea Salt⠀
Easy and delicious! 😋⠀
