5/18/25: this weeks prometabolic meals🎀 (recipes, grocery list, printable menu template + no waste!)

Hi guys!!

How was your week- seriously, comment. I genuinely love hearing what you’re craving, how you’re feeling, all of it!

We just got back from Texas, and it still feels like we haven’t fully landed. The second we got home we had a million things going on, but this week I’m craving a full reset. Lot’s of time to stay home and work on content, grounding meals, sunshine, and some space to actually think. Definitely following all the ancient period week rules- cozy socks, no stress, bone broth, and rest.

Food-wise, I’m in a rice noodle phase. They taste like instant ramen in the best way, but they’re actually easier on digestion than rice, take 3 minutes to make, and go with everything. They’re my base for everything right now- especially with bone broth.

Also sorry this is going out on a Monday- I couldn’t decide for the life of me what I wanted to eat this week!! I used to plan a full week ahead so I could shoot any recipes in advance, but something about all being on the same meal plan feels better to me.

What’s happening this time of year according to Ayurveda + TCM:

All the old healing systems- Ayurveda, TCM, even European folk medicine- they all say the same thing this time of year: lighten up, but stay nourished. Spring is about circulation, upward energy, and clearing out what your body’s still holding onto from winter.

That means more: herbs, bitter greens, fermented things, mineral-rich broths, berries, light grains, gentle spices, things that feel alive.

And less: fried food, cold dairy, . Everything they say overlaps- even though the language is different, the patterns are the same. Your body wants to feel clear. Your meals should help with that.

So that’s what I’m leaning into this week

(*PS: this time of year I serve most of my meals with either a handful of arugula or peeled carrot ribbons, and drizzle them with EVOO, sea salt, pepper, and a splash of balsamic. I just crave a salty crunchy bite of freshness with everything!)

Okay, so some notes before we get into it!

• All of my meals are pro-metabolic, seed oil free, and targeted to help heal the gut, speed the metabolism, and deeply nourish your body.

• Every week I’ll include a variation of quick + easy recipes, as well as some that take a bit more time that are perfect for fun cooking nights and hosting.

• At the end, I also have a list of quick meals you can make with leftover ingredients to make sure nothing goes to waste!

• I always opt for everything raw, grassfed + finished, pasture raised, wild caught + organic when possible. I don’t want to write organic, grassfed, etc. before every ingredient because it’s way too repetitive!

THE BEST THAI STEAK + RICE NOODLES

Cook time: 20 minutes!

This literally feels like it should be unhealthy- but is one of the most nourishing meals. I could eat this ALL the time. OH- and it’s so quick to make.

Plus, cilantro helps detox heavy metals!! Which is why I’ve included so much cilantro in our spring meals- it’s one of the best herbs to load up on this time of year!
