Sanity Saturday has finally arrived! My mini-me and I hit the library, because let's be real, books are my therapy. I mean, what's better than disconnecting from reality and diving into a new story? As the great George R.R. Martin once said, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” 📚 📕 🌲 📖 🧠

I'm obsessed with the app my husband, Justin Bower, created! 🥦🧄🫛 Not only can you find classic dishes like braised French chicken, but you can also ask it to create something entirely new with ingredients you have on hand. Today, I asked it to make something with onion, green beans, mung beans, garlic, broccoli, and couscous, and it gave me this incredible 'Mung Bean Sprout & Veggie Couscous Bowl' recipe! I highly recommend it - it's fun, creative, and nutritious! QR code included to download

I’m loving my new favorite go to —> purple cabbage tacos 🌮🥬 Such a delightful way to play and try different fillings. Today I did baked Cod, Zucchini and Onions 🧅 🐟 with a splash of lime 🍋‍🟩 juice & some hot sauce! I’ve also switched out fish for lean ground turkey and it’s equally satisfying and delish 😋
