It makes 36 perfectly chewy and chocolatey cookies that taste just like the original Chick Fil A cookies you buy in their restaurants! 🌟

And the best part? This recipe uses ingredients you already have in the pantry, and requires no chilling time!

So.. yeah — make it with me?? 🤍🤍

Being a third-culture kid, I grew up eating fusion Being a third-culture kid, I grew up eating fusion food ALL the time 🇮🇩🇺🇸 

From chowing on the trendy "sushi-ritos" with friends and regularly eating homecooked fusion dinners (my mother often couldn't find some of the more traditional Indonesian ingredients in America, so we had to improvise!)

But you know, I'm really thankful for my childhood.

Having to innovate with different ingredients has taught me a deep appreciation for the mixing of flavors 💥 

And so last night (as I was cooking mushroom rice pilaf for dinner), I thought "you know, why not put a little Mexican spin on this very Middle Eastern dish?"

A ½ cup of roasted hatch green chiles and a handful of chopped cilantro later, we had a winning combo of our modern mushroom rice pilaf fusion recipe.

Seriously guys, it was so good we finished the entire panful of pilaf in 2 meals.

If you wanna make it👇👇

Have a great night, everyone!! 🌙

Outdoors Date Night! 🥰 @thefeedfeed x @epicbar Outdoors Date Night! 🥰
@thefeedfeed x @epicbar [ spon ]

In honor of this warmer morning today, here’s a photo of Evan and me in the snowy cold last week ❄️ 

Every week, we love setting aside time for a date! While it’s typically filled with sushi, burgers, and good convos, we decided to switch it up! So last week, I convinced Evan to join me for some snow fun outside⛄️ 

I mean, does anyone else get so fidgety after staying indoors all day?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Anyways, knowing what we know now (that both of us get #hangry SOO fast when we’re cold), we decided to stop by our local @themerccoop to buy a few of our favorite #epicbar bites and strips. 🛒 We typically change up the flavors we get, but this time, we chose to go with the Bison Bites, Chicken Sriracha Bites, Salmon Strip, and Chicken Strip!

And let me tell you- these are amazing if you want a super easy way to re-fuel on-the-go! 💪🏼 

Right now, ALL Epic Provisions items are on SALE at local co-ops nationwide until March 2nd! That means you can get:
💥 3 bars for $5
💥2 rinds $5
💥Bites for $4.49
💥2 strips for $3
💥Broths for $4.49

so hey, while we stock up around here, you can find YOUR local co-op by visiting bit.ly/find-coop :)

Do you guys have fun plans today? This weekend? Let me know! ⬇️😊

Who says you need pine nuts or basil to make delic Who says you need pine nuts or basil to make delicious pesto??⁣

Oh, and did I mention this easy pesto recipe can be made ahead, and only takes 10 minutes to make?⁣

Today, I woke up exhausted. And not just the “oh Today, I woke up exhausted. And not just the “oh I could use 5 more minutes” kind of tired. But “whoa, I feel like I got hit by a truck” kind. So instead of pushing harder, I chose to rest.

How? I’ve been saving my PTO’s for months (seriously, I’ve worked so hard and was extra intentional about setting aside time), so I have the option to take the day off for days like this.

I’m thankful I have gracious supervisors who believe in the importance of getting things done, but also in a healthy work-life balance.

And here’s what I’ve learned: rest could happen anywhere, anytime (yes, including the middle of the work week!) But creating pockets of time to rest is so vital - this is God’s gift to us!

Could I have found an excuse to not rest in the billion things on my to do list? YES. But.. I chose to do so. The world will keep spinning, and today, I will have a slow morning. A time to refresh, a time to be reinvigorated.

Don’t be overwhelmed, it’s ok to stop. Really, I mean that. It’s healthy to our bodies, mind and spirit.

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28

So now that I’m awake, you can find me in under a mountain of blankets just slowly reading, sipping on some @artemistherapeutics Chamba Broth, taking a long bath with @cobigelow #HerbalComfortSoak, baking something exciting with REAL vanilla beans later today, and most of all - being more present in the moment.

How are you slowing down today? And how do you find REST?

A good friend of mine from Kerala recently sent me A good friend of mine from Kerala recently sent me her recipe of their famous (and authentic) Kerala style beef curry. So naturally, I made the dish that very night.⁣
⁣
All I could say is “OH. MY. GOODNESS. This is SO good.” 🔥⁣
⁣
This easy Kerala style beef curry recipe takes less than an hour to make. And the result? Incredibly tender cuts of beef marinated in the most flavorful spices. Pair it with a bowl of fluffy, warm Basmati rice, and get ready because this beef curry recipe is about to BLOW YOUR MIND. 🤯⁣
