What you can’t see is the salted caramel drizzle on top 😋 These Apple Pie balls are everything I love in a no-bake bite! Tons of flavor, perfect texture, and not overly sweet 🤩 And yes, there are a few different shapes and sizes in this bowl…
a perfectionist, I am not. 😉 Made these balls yesterday for my November Nourish Every Day cooking class! (DM me for info) What’s inside? Oats, dates, fresh apple, freeze-dried apple, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt! 💛

Escarole and beans, my favorite comfort food. So yummy. Added a few spicy olives I picked up from the Farmers Market this weekend. Bought the escarole pre-chopped in a bag from @wegmans - the only place I can find it! This will be lunch for the next 2 days, sprinkled with some fresh Parmesan cheese. So delish! 😋 Here’s how I made it: Sauté some garlic in olive oil, add the escarole and let it welt, add about 1/2 cup of vegetable broth, then add the olives, if you’re using, then add a can of cannellini beans with the liquid. Salt and pepper to taste!

All of Jamie’s recipes are so tasty. ➡️Follow her at @dishingouthealth

Think you’re getting enough magnesium? You’r

Think you’re getting enough magnesium? You’re probably not. According to a recent study, half of all Americans are magnesium deficient. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body! It’s mostly known for maintaining normal nerve & muscle function, supporting immunity, and helping to build strong bones. But it does a ton of other important things, too! For one, Vitamin D cannot be metabolized without sufficient magnesium levels. So all that Vitamin D you’ve been taking? It may be totally ineffective if your magnesium levels are low (and it may even be unsafe). Magnesium deficiency isn’t diagnosed very often. Most of us aren’t aware of the symptoms of deficiency and your doctor doesn’t check magnesium levels. Here’s what to look out for: 🦴Muscle twitches & cramps
🦴Apathy, depression & anxiety (some research links magnesium deficiency to increased risk of depression or anxiety)
🦴Osteoporosis
🦴Fatigue & muscle weakness
🦴High blood pressure
🦴Asthma (people with severe asthma often have low magnesium levels)
🦴Irregular heartbeat It’s important to eat plenty of magnesium rich foods daily, but most people benefit from a supplement! My favorite plant sources of magnesium are peanut butter and avocado🥑🥜 ⭐️ Which plant-based magnesium rich food is YOUR favorite? 📌 Save this post to refer to later or share with a friend.
