Move aside, popcorn. There’s a delicious, more nutritious pop in town. 🍿 Popped sorghum has way more fiber and protein than the same volume of popped popcorn, and it has a much thinner hull, which means less of it gets stuck in your teeth! Win-win. The caveat is that it takes longer to pop the same amount of sorghum, but I honestly think it’s fun to do, and they sell bags of pre-popped sorghum online if you don’t want to make it yourself. My method for popping sorghum + a recipe for a cinnamon/sticky bun style pop is in my cookbook, which is linked in my bio, or you can top it with anything you’d feel inclined to put on popcorn like butter, seasonings, etc etc. Have fun with this one and enjoyyyy! 🤗 . . . #popcorn #sorghum #poppedsorghum #deliciousandnutritious #cookingvideos #nutritiousfood #healthysnacks #cookbooks

Pregnancy Craving 🥪🇮🇹 Foods like deli meats are often flagged as no-go’s for pregnancy because of the risk of listeria (which, to be clear, is not good). However, heating the meat to 165F and keeping it at that temp for at least a couple minutes kills the listeria bacteria. Food can be re-contaminated, but that’s only if it comes back into contact with more live bacteria. So, if you’re washing your hands and the surfaces the deli meat touched, you should be fine. Also, not all deli meat is infected with listeria! In fact, it’s likely not. Obviously, at the end of the day, we all just have to do what we’re each comfortable with and feel good about. Listeria is found in tons of different foods, including raw vegetables, but no one’s avoiding those. Any food can be infected, but certain foods just have more of a history of contamination than others. Like with anything, you have to weigh the risks/benefits for yourself. That being said, for anyone with a craving like this that *just doesn’t quit*, I think steaming the meat is a good option. Also, any other women that are/have been pregnant completely over the amount of fear-mongering pregnant women get?? Some of it’s warranted, I get it, but some of it’s just ridiculous and pregnant women are still demonized mercilessly if they go against it. I just listened to the “Expecting Better” audiobook and they discuss the data behind a lot of pregnancy-related things. It’s crazy what there’s just not good data on, yet we’re made to feel otherwise. ANYWAYS kinda worried that maybe I’ve opened up a can of worms here, so please be kind. We’re all just doing what we think is safe and works for us. 💚 Also, S/O to @mollybaz for the giardiniera mayo craving loll need to get my hands on some @eatayoh . . . #pregnancycravings #newmom #foodvideos #cookingvideos #italiansub #pubsub #italiansandwich #6monthspregnant

Pregnancy Craving: Spicy Tuna Sushi 🌯 — with a special ingredient to make them “pregnancy safe” + one of my fav rice swaps for extra fiber (and protein) 🫡 Burritos are now part of my identity. @eatfyshfoods thanks for sending me a sample of the goods this quite literally hit the spot Recipe for the sticky bulgur and spicy tuna (or spicy salmon) including the spicy mayo are all in my cookbook, linked in my bio/on Amazon 😙 Tips: wet your fingers before handling sushi rice to prevent sticking, use some sticky rice to “glue” a couple pieces of seaweed together lengthwise, and don’t roll too tight so the filling doesn’t come squishin’ out lol Happy sushi burrito rollin’! . . . #sushiburrito #pregnancycravings #spicytuna #spicytunaroll #burritos #fyshfoods #pregnancy #pregnancydiary #foodvideos

Pregnancy Craving(s): Wynwood, Miami edition 🍕🍔🍩 Places we ate: @Boludo @Skinny Louie @The Salty Donut Not all of my cravings really got satisfied today, so needless to say I am on the HUNT. Also, my ridiculous appetite has got me up 25 lbs so far. 25 lbs at 25 weeks. I’ve actually been really good with my mental health (for anyone that’s dealt with body image issues I’m sure you can relate), but I can’t lie I’m starting to wonder if it’s been too much now. In general, I’m eating when I’m hungry and not eating out of boredom or “because I’m pregnant”, but there are def times I go overboard. Surprisingly not in my YouTube videos, but this day in Miami was an overboard day for sure. Just wanted to fit as much in as I could while I was down there, ya know?! Ugh the struggle lol Anyways, stay tuned for more. Your girl is HONGRY. 🤰 . . . #pregnancy #pregnancycravings #boludo #skinnylouie #thesaltydonut #wynwoodmiami #miamieats #foodvideos #pregnancylife

Pregnancy Craving: 🍞🥓🥬🥑🍅🍞 Made some BLT’s for my baby shower this past weekend with the ginger garlic mayo recipe from my cookbook. Ppl went nuts for it. The mayo is 🔑. Avocado adds some much needed fiber (plus extra deliciousness)! Been really into sandwiches lately. Feel like it’s the same concept as a burrito, just a little messier lol Have a new little series coming up soon (pregnancy related), so stay tuned for that, and if you have more sandwich suggestions that you think I’d like lmk! 😙 . . . #pregnancycravings #blt #blat #foodvideos #cookingvideos #nutritiousanddelicious #bacon #sandwiches #sandwichoftheday
