🍴 **Recipe Saturday!** 🍴

Today’s recipe comes from my beautiful friend **Elvira**, who went to culinary school—and I absolutely love this one because it's proof that **not every delicious meal has to be pretty!** 😂

Her words: *“It was not a pretty recipe. LOL. It was a use-what's-in-your-kitchen recipe.”*

And honestly... those are sometimes the BEST recipes! 🙌

🍣🥒 **Elvira's "Use What You Have" Tuna Rice Bowl** 🥑

**Tuna Salad:**
🐟 Tuna
🥄 Mayo
🌶️ Sriracha
🥢 Soy sauce
🌿 Sesame oil

**Cucumber Salad:**
🥒 Sliced cucumber
🥑 Avocado
🧂 Salt & pepper
🫚 Ginger paste
🍎 A splash of **Made With Love Fire Cider vinegar**

👉 Mix the cucumber salad ingredients together and pop it in the fridge for about **15 minutes**.

🍚 Warm up some already-cooked rice.

Then... **put it all together!** 🙌

Elvira said it would have been even better with seaweed wrappers, but she had run out. 😫

And that's exactly what I love about this recipe!

**Use what you have. Make it work. Don't overthink it.** ❤️

And adding some of my vinegar to that cucumber salad?! YES PLEASE! 😍

A huge thank you to Elvira for sharing her kitchen creation with me so I could share it with all of you!

🌕🌑 **Did You Know Thursday — Full Moon Edition** 🌑🌕

Tonight is a pretty special night! ✨

We have a **Full Moon + Lunar Eclipse**, and it feels like the perfect reminder that everything has its own cycle.

Just like the moon moves through phases, life does too. 🌙

Sometimes we're in a season of growing.
Sometimes we're in a season of slowing down.
Sometimes we need to step back, rest, and reset.

And with school being SO busy lately, I'm definitely reminding myself of that! 😂🍎

Tonight, take a few minutes to step outside, look up, breathe deeply, and slow down.

✨ Release what you no longer need.
✨ Make space for what's next.
✨ Let go of what you can't control.
✨ Be grateful for how far you've come.

The moon doesn't rush its cycles—and **we don't have to rush ours either.** ❤️

And maybe tonight's little reminder is simply this: **take care of yourself.** Whether that's stepping outside, enjoying a cup of tea, taking your elderberry syrup, or just giving yourself permission to rest.

💬 **Are you watching the eclipse tonight?**
Tell me where you'll be watching from! 🌕👇

🍎 **Product Spotlight Tuesday** 🍎

It's been a BUSY few weeks around here, so today I'm giving some love to one of my favorites! ❤️

🍯💜 **Elderberry Syrup** 💜🍯

This is the product I personally take **every single day** and have made part of my own routine for years.

I love keeping a bottle in the fridge because it's so easy to add into my day—just a spoonful and I'm done!

And if you've been wondering if I'm still making it now that school is back in full swing...

**YES!** 😂

I'm still taking orders for:
🍯 Elderberry Syrup
🍎 Fire Cider
🧄 Garlic Fermented in Honey

I may not be at the farmers market this Thursday, but I'm still happy to make fresh batches for you. Just send me a message!

💬 **Question of the day:**
If you've tried my elderberry syrup, how do you take yours? Straight from the spoon, mixed into something, or do you have another favorite way?

# # # Teacher Tired 😴😂

You know you’re **teacher tired** when you sit down for “just a minute”… and suddenly you’re fighting for your life trying to remember what day it is. 😂

The school year is only getting started, but my teacher battery is already at **3%**. 🔋

I’m not regular tired.
I’m **“I just spent all day saying ‘friends, please make good choices’ and now I need silence, snacks, and nobody asking me a question”** tired. 🤣

Teachers, what’s your current level of tired?

**A.** I’m fine.
**B.** I need coffee. ☕
**C.** I need a nap. 😴
**D.** Please do not perceive me until tomorrow. 😂

🌿 **Wellness Monday** 🌿

Monday is here... and I'm definitely feeling the **back-to-school chaos!** 😂🍎

Between my students, lesson planning, and trying to keep up with everything else, I'm learning that sometimes wellness means simply taking a breath and giving yourself a little grace.

This week, my goal is to focus on the basics:

💧 Drink my water
😴 Get enough rest
🥗 Eat something nourishing
🌿 Take a few minutes to slow down
❤️ Remember that I don't have to do everything perfectly

And yes... my little side business is still here too! 🥰

Even though I won't be at the farmers market this Thursday, I'm **still making products and taking orders.**

🍯 Elderberry Syrup
🍎 Fire Cider
🧄 Garlic Fermented in Honey

Need something? Just send me a message and we'll arrange a pickup!

💬 **Question of the day:**
What's one thing you're going to do for yourself this week—even if it's just 10 minutes?

❤️ **Sunday Story... recipe Saturday a day late!** ❤️

Yesterday was a special day in our family—it was my son's **birthday!** 🎂❤️

So between celebrating him and everything else going on, my Recipe Saturday post never made it up. 😅 Better late than never, right?

And I really wanted to share this one because it's a recipe from **my mom**!

🥕🍯 **Mom's Elderberry Glazed Carrots** 🍯🥕

2 cups fresh carrots, sliced into medallions
1–1½ tablespoons butter
½ cup elderberry syrup
1 tablespoon honey
Salt & black pepper to taste

🥕 Boil the carrots until just fork tender—not super soft.

Drain them and return them to the same pan.

Add the butter, elderberry syrup, and honey. Simmer for about 10 minutes. The sauce will begin to thicken.

Add a little salt and a **good amount of black pepper** to taste.

✨ The sauce thickens even more as it cools!

It's such a simple, flavorful side dish, and I love that this recipe came from my mom. See attached picture. ❤️

And now for the not-so-fun news...

🍎 **I will be skipping this week's Bristol Farmers Market.**

With the severity of needs of my special education students right now, I'm just not ready to leave my babies, even for a half day. ❤️

I'm sad to miss everyone, but my students need me right now, and that's where my heart is.

I am still **available for orders**, though! If you need elderberry syrup, Fire Cider, or garlic fermented in honey, just send me a message and we'll arrange a pickup.

Thank you for understanding and supporting me while I balance my classroom and my little business. ❤️

🌿 **Wellness Monday** 🌿

After a LONG first week back at school, I'm reminded that wellness doesn't have to mean doing something big.

Sometimes it's the little things. ❤️

☕ Taking a few minutes to slow down
💧 Drinking enough water
😴 Getting the rest your body needs
🥗 Choosing foods that make you feel good
🍯 Keeping simple wellness staples on hand

For me, **elderberry syrup** is one of those little things that's become part of my daily routine. It's something I enjoy taking consistently, especially when life gets crazy busy.

And believe me... between school, students, and everything else going on, **crazy busy is definitely where I'm at right now!** 😂🍎

Even though my schedule is getting busier, I'm still making your favorite products and taking orders!

🍯 Elderberry Syrup
🍎 Fire Cider
🧄 Garlic Fermented in Honey

📅 **Don't forget:** I'll be back at the **Bristol Farmers Market Thursday, August 27!**
