Recipe & tips šŸ‘‡šŸ» If you want to learn how t Recipe & tips šŸ‘‡šŸ»

If you want to learn how to cook nourishing meals without needing a recipe every single time, here are a few tips that helped me:
ā€ØāœØ 1. Stock your pantry and freezer with staples. Think bone broth, quality meats, grains, beans, frozen veggies, and your favorite seasonings. Having a solid base on hand makes it easy to create a meal without a grocery run.
ā€ØāœØ 2. Practice swapping ingredients. Don’t have carrots? Use sweet potatoes. Out of onions? Try shallots or use onion powder. Think in categories (protein, veggie, starch, flavor) instead of exact ingredients.
ā€ØāœØ 3. Taste as you go. It helps you learn what flavors you love and teaches you to trust yourself in the kitchen.
ā€ØāœØ 4. Embrace imperfection. Real food made with love doesn’t have to look perfect to be delicious.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» This isn’t an exact recipe, just roughly how I made this super tender pot roast!

Ingredients:
• Chuck roast
• Garlic
• Onion
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Fresh thyme
• Salt + pepper
• Broth

Directions:
Sear the chuck roast on both sides until golden. Add everything to a Dutch oven, cover, and bake at 325°F for about 3 hours — or until fall-apart tender. That’s it. Simple, cozy, nourishing. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Cooking this way saves time, money, and food waste… but most of all, it builds confidence in the kitchen.

I love meals that don’t really need a recipe—j I love meals that don’t really need a recipe—just a little creativity, what you have on hand, and a whole lot of love! ā¤ļø

This chili started as a way to use up some smoked brisket we had in the freezer, and it turned into the coziest dinner. I made a big batch and tucked a few jars away in the freezer—it’s such a gift to my future self.

Especially as I’m prepping for postpartum, I’m thinking ahead to those days when time and energy feel low. Having nourishing meals ready to go means one less thing to stress about, and I can focus on rest, recovery, and soaking up baby snuggles. 

Even if you’re not postpartum, freezing extra chili is so helpful for those busy weeks or rainy days when you just want something warm, hearty, and satisfying without any effort.

Here’s what I added to my pot:ā€ØāœØ Spices: chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, chipotle, salt + pepperā€ØāœØ Protein: ground beef + smoked brisketā€ØāœØ Veggies: garlic, onion, bell pepperā€ØāœØ Basics: fire roasted green tomatoes, pinto beans, bone broth

Let it all simmer for about an hour and… perfection.

Full of flavor, protein, and comfort.

There’s just something special about meals like this—where you don’t need exact measurements or a strict recipe… you just cook from the heart and nourish the people you love. 🄣 (And this chili was hubby approved!!)

Freezer prep that actually tastes good šŸ™ŒāœØ Wh Freezer prep that actually tastes good šŸ™ŒāœØ

When I made this Ground Beef + Broccoli, I doubled the recipe so I could freeze half for an easy dinner later. It’s part of my postpartum prep, but honestly — this is such a game-changer for anyone who wants to eat healthy without the stress.

What I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is!
ā€ØšŸ„© You can use any type of ground meat you like — ground chicken or turkey work just as well.ā€ØšŸ„¦ And you don’t have to stick with broccoli! Try other veggies like frozen green beans, or toss in what you have on hand. I added a bell pepper that was about to go bad in tonight’s batch — easy, no waste, and still delicious.

For the freezer version, I kept it simple:

✨I took half the cooked ground beef and added it to a freezer safe container with the sauce. (Do not add the veggies yet)ā€ØāœØ I’ll add a bag of frozen broccoli when I cook it (instead of fresh)ā€ØāœØ I didn’t add the cornstarch yet — it tends to break when frozenā€ØāœØ When I’m ready to eat, I’ll toss the frozen beef + sauce mixture in a pan with the frozen broccoli, let it simmer, then stir in a quick cornstarch slurry to thickenā€ØāœØ I love serving it with a microwave packet of organic jasmine rice — dinner is ready in minutes!

Little habits like this make such a big difference — nourishing meals, less stress, and fewer nights of takeout šŸ™ŒšŸ’›
