Show Notes

  • Alex was raised with a love of cooking, with inspiration from her mom's Italian heritage

  • After trying the Whole 30, Alex changed her overall approach to food and cooking, adopting a stronger priority for clean ingredients and eating to feel good

  • Rather than strict meal planning, Alex structures her family's week around the main protein and keeps some things on hand that she can throw together quickly

  • A pre-prepared grab and go breakfast option like an egg bite is an easy thing to prepare to make weekday mornings efficient

  • After grocery shopping, Alex does some light prep with her veggies and herbs to make them more accessible later in the week

  • Alex makes the perfect jammy eggs by boiling them for 6.5 minutes before putting them in an ice bath

  • Set small goals for cooking more at home and lean into 5 ingredient dinners and expand and get creative from there

  • Lean on a condiment to build your meal with simple ingredients, some of Alex's favorites are green curry or pre-made pesto

  • Alex opts for tapioca or cassava flour as "flour" substitutes for dredging and almond flour as a breading substitute

  • Creating boundaries and outsourcing tasks helps Alex keep her passion for her work and community

  • Ronny Joseph (primal_gourmet@) is Alex's top follow for food and recipe inspiration
