And since I’m on such an egg kick lately, I’m dying to make this Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Eggs. It’s definitely on our menu for next week as well as these Easy Smashed Potatoes!

Wins In the Kitchen Survey

Ok, time for a Friday blog survey! I recently saw this brief interview with Maria Menounos in Health magazine and it looked like a fun one, so here we go!

FINDING INSPIRATION

Eat food with a healing intent.” After abusing my body last weekend with booze and garbage food (hey, it was an awesome time, but I paid for it), I’m thinking about food a lot differently now.

MOM’S BEST ADVICE

“Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

HEALTHY-EATING MYTH

That healthy eating is black and white. A long-term and realistic way of eating is gray. All gray. It’s okay to eat kale salads and veggie omelets most of the time, but then decide donuts and mac & cheese are what you’re really craving. You can have them and enjoy (!!) them. You don’t need to be perfect to be a healthy eater. 

GO-TO INGREDIENTS

Right now, I’m digging nutritional yeast and hummus. Both make just about any dish more delicious and flavorful.

GET-OUT-THE-DOOR SNACK

Bananas! <— funny story. Usually, I’ll throw together a quick peanut butter and banana sandwich or a quickie smoothie with a frozen banana, chopped spinach, protein powder, and soy milk.
