Roasted Squash
coat squash in coconut oil and bake at 400 for 35-45 mins
– coconut oil is rich in lauric acid which is extremely beneficial to gut health. it’s anti-microbial and bacterial but won’t harm the good bacteria in your gut. it’s amazing!
my fav coconut oil https://dignitycoconuts.com/collections/all/products/raw-coconut-oil *discount code: CAMBRIA20

They Propes if I show up will you show me around if I make you love we give me some time cuz I know let a girl like you could be falling in love just about Anyone all I want is just a know it’s just a hang Walk good morning let’s make some mineral tea I’m boiling my water right now but we’re going to do 3 tablespoons of each I’m so happy to be back into my routine with like teas and I woke up this morning and R we finally have a
Place to sit I really need to clean this place up though because it’s just been like a lot of unpacking nothing makes me happier than a mineral tea brewing we’re going to do like a little bit of a winter meal prep I just want to get some kind of like pieces of
Meals done and maybe like a chicken salad sort of like you know you can add some things to that and make it a whole meal okay thought we would chat for a few minutes and just kind of catch up while I cut up my squash and then I
Think we’re just going to get into the groove of baking everything I feel like I’m just now settling into somewhat of a routine because moving three times in 3 months just really was a lot this was the first morning that I even had to like sit down and read and have a place
To sit and just like have somewhat of a just a normal routine morning 2023 was just a year that really challenged me in a lot of ways 2014 was a really good year for me that was the year that I met bow we started dating and just overall
That year really stands out to me as like a really I remember 2014 I can’t believe I was a decade ago that’s crazy but can you believe bone I met a decade ago but anyway this year really was a lot of learning I went back to school
This year I became a nutritional therapy practitioner which was definitely like the highlight of my year I’m so happy that I did that and I’m so thankful that I am a practitioner and I feel like I was learning a lot but I wasn’t really putting everything that I I was learning
Into practice you know I I found myself sitting a lot studying a lot really like nose in the book nose in my laptop but I really definitely want to find a little bit more of a balance uh definitely for sure I completely got thrown out of a
Routine like when we moved in September as soon as we packed up and moved in September we we found out that we were moving and we moved like that week like it was so crazy like it was like so fast and then and then in October is when we moved out
Very quickly after moving that’s when we started getting really sick and not feeling well at all and so it was just very every single day it was like what’s wrong what’s going on what is happening it just completely derailed us with the mold situation and then my parents were
So kind we stayed with them so we packed everything back up stayed with them so we were there for a while I think about um two 2 months we were there for about 2 months because I was finishing Nutri my nutritional therapy practitioner program I literally had to finish
Graduate take my final exam and so it was just like everything was in boxes or storage and I was trying to study for my exam and finish that apparently I’m like not good at multitasking at all or this is just like the hardest squash ever to
Cut I remember why I preut okay no I can cut it I can do it we got kaboka Butternut acorn so good then December 1st was when we found this place and if you follow me on Instagram you’ll seen that when we moved in there was a huge
Water leak from the main waterline that they ended up having to fix and then we had problems with their gas and then we actually just had a major sewage problem because this is an old house but they redid it completely so the sewage line literally anyway as I’m cooking my food
Uh we’re talking about that but apparently like they didn’t it wasn’t it wasn’t us that sounds so gross um but it was just they did the L they they didn’t they didn’t do it right like they just didn’t Plum the house correctly there was like rocks in there so it’s just
Been it has been you know just one situation after the next but we’re really really thankful to be here really happy to be finally settling in and just kind of getting through these hurdles you know thankful that we’re finally settling in I’m really excited I want to
Make the backyard like very I want to put a bunch of pond trees back there I’m so happy that we have our little patio furniture that B made this past summer so I’m just really looking forward we have the fireplace out there and just even this past year I really wanted to
Focus on learning and studying and I just did not feel I just knew that I would feel ready to try to conceive again and get pregnant when I felt like I felt like it was the right time you know what I mean and I just felt all throughout
2023 I just did not feel led to do that at all I really every every month I just honestly focused on studying and it just kind of ended up being that way and so I feel I just feel really thankful that I’m a practitioner and I’m going to
Order myself some blood tests I actually did order some blood tests and I began to interpret those which was very eye openening and really insightful it’s been a long time since I’ve had actual blood work done I did my htmma and I’m doing some other testing but really I’m
Finding I’m really liking blood work blood is old and a lot of these new functional test are are that they’re new and I’m just finding like if you just focus on blood work and just like getting your blood work looking good you know in functional ranges and learning
Functional ranges for blood work which is very different than conventional ranges um that is what I’m learning yeah I just feel like I’m just taking it slow with everything as far as that with uh Health stuff and just being ready to conceive again I really just want to get
My blood work in a really good spot and retest again in a couple months definitely an interesting holiday season this was the first Christmas for me that I you know in in Seasons past you know there’s always been difficult times and but this was this was something very
Very different this Christmas though was different it really was different it was very it was just a sad thought to think that this would have been in our first Christmas as a family of three well I guess we are a family of three if you
Include me but you know what I mean like with our little baby and I just it it it just really hit me I really wasn’t expecting it to hit me on Christmas but it really did and Christmas was actually I just felt really really sad I felt really sad unexpectedly sad it really
Grief is a very interesting thing and I just feel very open about talking about this because I know a lot of people I A A lot of women feel very alone I just feel like one of the purposes of my life and that God has brought us all together
Here is that we can you can come here and we can collectively together bear each other’s burdens and you don’t have to feel alone or like whatever it is whether you’re waiting for a spouse or whether you’re waiting for a baby or whatever it is that you don’t feel alone
And that you don’t feel like everyone’s life is just perfect it is so easy to it really is it’s so easy and I know we hear this a lot but Bo and I had a really good talk about it on Christmas Day where it’s very easy to look at
People’s lives online and just really compare and really see like wow they just look like they have it all together or wow it’s just it looks like picture perfect Christmas and it’s really not it’s really not for anybody we nobody has any idea what anybody is going
Through at a given moment I just found a lot of comfort in that you know I don’t I don’t have to be perfectly happy every single day of the year you know what I mean like like we were created to feel sadness and we’re created to not suppress our emotions and that’s just
That’s kind of what’s going on I really really like this coconut oil this dignity coconut oil it’s so good and creamy and it just tastes amazing kind of wanted to catch up with you and just talk I feel like it’s just I I feel like I miss just chattier Vlogs and videos
And just kind of updating you and telling you what’s going on and talking about health and fertility and just family updates and life okay it’s a little bit later cuz I had to go run a really important erand oh my goodness that would not have been
Good so we’re going to prep out a delicious chicken salad I love having chicken salad for lunch and then we’re also going to do uh my delicious bone broth soup that I make all the time so good and then I’m also I think I think
I’m going to do a beet hummus and then also I have the squash roasting in the oven and then I might do like a high fiber muffin recipe that’d be good with breakfast let’s get cooking I’m going to chop up everything that I need for the
Soup and the chicken salad right now I just boiled the chicken in some hot in some hot water and some boiling water just boil the chicken in boiling water okay I can’t bre out but here’s here’s what I to say I put it in the KitchenAid
It’s like my favorite thing ever if you don’t do that with shredding your chicken and you have a KitchenAid it is so easy to just throw it into the mixer shred it up and you’re done takes like 5 seconds I almost forgot about our mineral tea that’s pretty much done with
The infusion right now so okay we’re going to shred up the chicken done maybe a little bit more tablespoon of Honey Chicken salad is done going in the Fridge made mind That it’ll be Hot gu what I want to Do best okay now we’re going to make my favorite Jello-O so we’re going to do cranberry because I’ve been reading about cranberries and how cranberries feed the good bacteria in your gut so we’re just going to do a double whammy here with the Cranberries that are good
For gut health and then the glyc that’s very rich in gelatin we want to make sure that we are producing enough bile so that we can get rid of all those hormones that the body wants to get rid of and the glycine in gelatin the amino acid glycine is really important in the
Production of bile so I noticed such a big difference when I’m regularly eating gelatin and eating my gummies as Maybe funny as that sounds or like silly as it seems to include gummies in a meal prep video it really is so helpful and it’s actually really rich in protein 1
Tablespoon of this has 11 g of Protein for the first time ever I’m going to add some of this kelp to my soup because it’s such a rich source of iodine and I’m just going to see if we can taste it I’m just going to do a teaspoon for now all right we’re about
To make our beet hummus I found I’m so excited about this I found these properly prepared chickpeas by jovil the one and the only jovil so these are 100% organic chickpeas they are soaked overnight and pressure cooked and soaking them overnight helps to reduce the phytic acid and that’s going to
Actually help us to be able to absorb the nutrients from the beans better and maybe if beans cause you to have like an upset stomach you know digestion issues but they’re so great because of the fiber properly preparing them makes all the difference in the world this is very
Convenient so these are what they look like I absolutely love them so I’m going to make a double batch of them and then I just went and got this tahini from Trader Joe’s it just feels so good to be meal prepping and getting these things
Done I just have not like I’ve missed my gummies and my mineral tea and all these things these recipes are so incredibly simple but they are so nutrient Den and just something as simple as like having a little bit of hummus on hand or just like a really mineral Rich tea can
Really make all the difference honestly in your day when you need a little snack when you need a little something hydrating to drink I actually think I’m going to go to the store and get some applesauce so that we can make some pelium husk muffins which will be great
Nice fiber rich muffin but I don’t have any applesauce so that’s why I’m going to need to run over the store I’m just like feeling energized I’m feeling good it’s like super late but it’s not that late it’s only 7:00 but it’s just so dark any anyway um but really quickly I
Wanted to thank today’s sponsor of this video which is better help and as I’ve even just been processing throughout this whole year 2023 was genuinely one of the most difficult em like just I I want I would maybe not difficult but just a lot of sadness I found that grief
Was like this ocean that I was really just treading water and it was very difficult for me to try to navigate and to swim and I just I I wanted and I really needed help and I’m so thankful because I kind of grew up with this whole idea that you know therapy itself
I grew up and it was very taboo it was not something that was really talked about and it was kind of just this thing that you know that really it was just taboo and I’m so thankful that I just chose to believe that there is you know
The Bible says that there’s wisdom in the Council of many but while I utilized therapy specifically a therapist I really really have just my life has just completely Been Changed by therapy and so so better help actually connects you to licensed therapists which is so awesome because it can be really hard to
Find the right therapist and that’s the thing with better help you can be connected with a therapist that they have over 30,000 different therapists so if maybe you don’t have the right fit in your area it just connects you to such a broad Network and I really love them
Because they actually on there you you go go on and you fill out your questionnaire and basically it asks you a bunch of questions and I loved the questions it asked me if I what if I was comfortable with them praying for me and I just felt like wow it was just so
Amazing how detailed just how personal it is because therapy really is such a personal thing and I just absolutely love better help so much you can even do it over the phone you can do it via you can even do it over messaging with better help whatever feels comfortable
For you and then they match you with a therapist and if you feel like therapy is something that might be a good fit for you or you want to see if it helps you you can visit betterhelp.com camria jooy and you can get 10% off your

Is a good it’s like almost like a it tastes like a a a frosting like it’s just I can’t even describe that butter it’s so good you want more yeah yeah that those two go so well together thank you mineral tea o I want some
Too oh the way it smells I’m so tired I’m so full I haven’t been this full in a long time I just ate some of the soup whoa that I I snacked Gore I am so you look very tired I can see it in your eyes I’m so tired thank you for
Everything it was so good crushed it okay it is the next day and I figured I’d show you our meal prep and just how good this came in handy today while I was editing and even after the gym once I worked out it was just everything was
So helpful I had one of these after my workout these muffins are seriously just unbelievable they’re so good I think I’m going to regularly make these all the time now just because I felt so good eating it they’re so satiating the flavor is perfect they’re not too sweet
But they are sweet and they’re just they’re just the perfect morning or even just snack like put a little bit of butter on there and it’s just so good and then chicken salad is always my favorite I love making this and it’s just a great lunch super easy protein
This was 10 out of 10 this was actually like 100 out of 10 you already know it’s so good this is the best hummus that I’ve ever had it is literally delicious and then of course the Beloved the all-time favorite the soup this is the chicken immunity soup that is actually
In my book growing strong and this is my favorite soup of all time it is so good it is so flavorful it is so comforting I make this literally multiple times a week honestly so of course it’s a part of the meal prep but it is just the best
Soup that you’ll ever have it is so and I’m telling you the Stars it makes it so good because you get a little bit of pasta in every single bite but a little tip that I will tell you is to add in a little bit of extra chicken when you’re
Cooking your chicken for the soup and then you have really flavorful chicken and then you can obviously have that as like a side protein for a different meal so it just really kind of stretches everything and then of course we have our jello which I definitely bit into
This is tart so if you like Tar this is great but specifically again I did The Cranberries because they feed the bifido bacteria in her gut they’re really really good so it’s been shown to help period pain and that’s because it really just helps the microbiome so really
Amazing and then of course very rich in glycine which is what we want for bile so and then of course uh we have our the these are like roasted squash is just it’s so easy it’s like this is just my you know side of choice if you will so
You could do potatoes or anything like that but obviously squash this time of year so good literally amazing from the farm I love that so much all the different kinds of squash and it came out perfect just on the on the sheet at 400° for like 45 minutes and everything
Came out perfect absolutely perfect that carway pan is amazing it literally everything just slides right off and cleans off so easily so anyway that’s really good so it just looks so good and then of course last but not least we have our mineral tea which is always a
Part of my meal rotation really delicious so this is basically like a multivitamin in a tea it is because it is so rich when you do the infusion with vitamins and minerals it is incredible like it is absolutely amazing I just read I can’t remember where it is but um
Where it says in the Bible that herbs will be for the service of mankind and I just think that’s like the most epic thing I’ve ever heard but it really is it’s so amazing especially for menal cramps period issues like it’s so good so this is amazing that is our little
Fall meal prep so good definitely Staples really easy really delicious and links to all the recipe all the recipes will be in the description box but I hope that you enjoy making some some delicious food today was a cozy cozy day and it made it even more cozy well
