    The Autumn Glow Bowl

    Oct 1, 2014 • Glow Bowls, Luteal Phase, Salads

    || Autumn Glow Bowl || A cleansing, filling, vegan, Glow Bowl to transition into the new season with warming, comforting ingredients. A super clean, delicious recipe with butternut squash, quinoa, kale, chickpeas, tomatoes and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds! From The Glowing Fridge.

     

    October has arrived. EEEK! I love it but at the same time, I am wondering where the heck September went?

    The past couple mornings have been so cozy, curled up under all our blankets, with dogs on either side of me, snuggled as close as they can get and it was the first time I thought, jeez… its cold in here… I really don’t want to get up! Snuggling sounds way better than stepping onto the cold, wooden floor. Those are the signs that the chilly air has arrived.

    I’m sure we will get our fair share of warm days mixed in with snow (not kidding) here in Chicago, nothing surprises us anymore but it leaves me with that empty feeling. Summer has left and won’t be back for so long. We have long, dark, freezing nights ahead which makes me want to put on comfy socks, comfy sweat pants, my favorite ZTA sweatshirt with a hood and cuddle on the couch under a blanket. And not move until next June. Not kidding!! Yes we have all the fun holidays coming up, but my bones will ache all winter for some warm, sunny rays on my tan skin. And flip flops. Or better yet, being barefoot in the luscious summer grass or hot sand. Ugh.

    There is a certain sadness that comes with the transition of a new season but I am here to lift some spirits and we will get through this long fall/winter together!

    But how?!

    With food!! With creating a delicious mess in the kitchen. Food is healing. Halloween is coming up and I have some fun recipes in store for that as well as many fall-ish recipes like The Autumn Glow Bowl I’m sharing today. I love everything about this warming power bowl. This recipe is super clean and will nourish from the inside out so we can hold onto that special summer glow for a bit longer. It’s a Glow Bowl filled with all of my favorite things! Kale, quinoa, chickpeas, butternut squash, tomatoes, cucumbers and even sprinkles of pomegranate seeds. It’s like a fall-colored rainbow in a bowl, and it tastes like it too.

    Description

    A cleansing, filling, warming and comforting vegan glow bowl filled with super clean ingredients


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup quinoa, any color (I used red)
    • 1 butternut squash
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
    • pinch of sea salt
    • 1 can of chickpeas
    • 1 cup kale, de-stemmed and chopped
    • 1 cup cucumber slices
    • 1 tomato, chopped
    • juice from 1 lemon
    • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
    • sea salt, to taste
    • drizzle of apple cider/red wine vinegar
    • sprinkle of pomegranate seeds (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment/wax paper.
    2. Start cooking quinoa according to directions.
    3. Cut off the skin from the butternut squash and chop into bite-sized chunks. Transfer to a small bowl with melted coconut oil and sea salt. Mix until all the squash is covered in oil. Transfer the squash to the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until soft.
    4. Meanwhile, chop the kale, cucumber and tomato and transfer all to a small bowl with the fresh lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Mix and set aside.

    To Assemble Bowl

    1. Start with the quinoa and chickpeas, then add the kale, cucumber, and tomato mixture. Finish with the butternut squash and a drizzle of vinegar.
    2. Enjoy!

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

    A DREAM ☁️☁️ You guys. This is a dream co A DREAM ☁️☁️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
