My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Easy Peasy Homemade Ramen
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients:
- 1 10 oz package brown rice and millet ramen noodles (ditch the seasoning packet)
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 quart vegetable stock
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 hard boiled eggs, sliced in half
- 2 cups baby spinach
- ½ cup grated carrot
Directions:
In a medium stock pot, add a little bit of olive oil, over medium-low heat. Add in the garlic, ginger, and mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Turn the heat to high and add in the vegetable stock, 2 cups water, and soy sauce. Once it comes up to a boil, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes. Place ramen noodles into the broth and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking them up as they cook. (If using angel hair, in a separate pot, cook 2 minutes less than package directions and add par cooked noodles to broth at the same time as the next step)
In the last two minutes stir in the carrots and spinach and cook until spinach is just wilted. Serve immediately by dividing among serving bowls and topping with half a hard boiled egg.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Add extra veggies such as corn instead of hard boiled egg.
Meat-eater in the group: Add shredded rotisserie chicken in at the same time as the spinach and carrots.
Gluten-free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Kid-friendly: Serve theirs before adding in the spinach.
