👆🏼Hit that save button if you need an EASY and delicious THREE INGREDIENT holiday appetizer recipe! These Salsa & Cheese stuffed mushrooms are equally delicious as they are easy to make. Bursting with flavor from @freshcravingssalsa (#ad) Eva’s Kitchen Cantina Style Salsa, these bite sized flavor bombs will add pizzazz to any holiday menu🎄.
*
So here's what you need to know! @freshcravingssalsa Eva's Kitchen Cantina Style Salsa is chilled and sold in the produce section at @heb and trust me, you'll want to grab a few tubs because this stuff is SO good. Once you have fresh salsa, you won't want the jarred stuff anymore!
*
Head to stories for more info on on Eva's Kitchen Cantina Style Salsa (yep, from the talented @evalongoria)! This fresh salsa packs a rich and smoky bite that's derived from chipotle, jalapeno, cayenne, and Anaheim peppers, fresh vegetables and vine-ripened tomatoes 🍅that are specially charred and roasted to bring out their most robust flavor!
*
🌶🍅Stuffed Mushrooms👇🏼
Ingredients👇🏼
12 medium mushrooms
1/2 cup Eva's Kitchen Cantina Style Salsa
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
*
Instructions👇🏼
1) Preheat oven to 400°F.
2) Clean mushrooms and remove stems. Use a tomato huller or small spoon to remove a little bit of the inside flesh of the mushroom.
3) Fill mushrooms with salsa and cheese and place on a sheet pan.
4) Place sheet pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden. Top with cilantro if desired!
*
You can also just #keepitsimple and enjoy both salsa straight from the tub! #KISSinthekitchen #thinkoutsidethejar #appetizers #holidaymenu #partyfood #stuffedmushrooms #glutenfreerecipes #satxbloggers #heb #sanantonioeats #texasblogger #satxfoodie #kissblog

Drop your favorite holiday emoji if you’ve come across Christmas decor with the word “Joy” on it this season! The level of self control I have to exercise to not buy ALL THE THINGS that have Joy on them this time of year is pretty darn high🤪. I was just telling my husband how I can't wait for the first season Joy recognizes her name practically everywhere during this special season but even more than that, I look forward to when she learns the meaning of her name and that this season is not about her at all. This season is about leading up to the biggest birthday party ever and it's true that seeing Christmas through a child's eyes is some kind of special!

I didn’t have a Thanksgiving post planned. We’re enjoying a chilly and slow morning as a fam, ever aware of the literally countless blessings we have. Our health, God saving our marriage (that never gets old saying that) and our precious baby (toddler) who offers us opportunity after opportunity to grow in grace and be reminded of how patient God is with us. Wishing you and your family a restful day. If you feel motivated, share a few things you’re thankful for below. Or don’t- let’s not spend too much time in here today, k? 😘

What did the gravy say about the angry mashed potatoes?
*
Taters gonna tate.🤣🤣🤣
*
It's those kind of ridiculously corny jokes that sure make me miss my dad extra around the holidays. I'm honestly not sure if he liked gravy or not but my grandpa and husband sure do. This gluten free Mushroom and Herb gravy is hitting the blog just in time to rock your Thanksgiving menu!
*
Inspired by not wanting to use a package mix and also not wanting to make a turkey just for drippings for the recipe, I made this recipe with my friends over at @montereymushrooms (ad). The gravy gets its bold flavor from mushrooms, coconut aminos, fresh herbs and a few other clutch ingredients. And like all KISS recipes, it’s super simple to whip up!

The gang's all here! Roll call.... what's the first thing you'd make sure is on your #charcuterieboard?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're entertaining this holiday season and feeling the overwhelm setting in, figure out how you can simplify your menu. Charcuterie is hands down ALWAYS a crowd pleaser, makes for great leftovers to pack in the kiddos lunches and you don't have to be an artist to make a good board, promise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head on over to the link in bio for a simple tutorial on how to build a charcuterie board! #KISSintheKitchen #charcuterie #appetizers #holidayentertaining #eattherainbow #holidaymenu #beautifulfood #glutenfreesnacks #dietitianapproved #rdeats #holidayrecipes #satxfoodie #KISSblog

You too😉?

Low-key obsessed with these adorable bags I had made up for my clients during our Clean Friday sale that launched TODAY! (message me for specific details about the bag- I can't share it all here)! Enjoy 15% off all the things (a few exceptions but an amazing sale) plus free shipping over $50. Here's 3 smart ways to approach this sale😍!
*
1.) Shop early because things fly off the shelves and out of stock is a sad situation.
2.) Want EXTRA freebies? Ask me for a unique referral link and you can earn up to 5 half off and 5 FREE products. It's pretty simple and it's a win-win way to spread the word about why what we put on our bodies matters plus getting some amazing products in the hands of the people you love.
3.) Build a wish list (fill out the short Google form in my bio) with me and I'll take care of reaching out to whoever you want- husband, sister, mom.. not strangers though ;).
*
From the bottom of my heart, thank y'all for supporting me for the past 11 months with this business. It's been so incredibly impactful for our family and I'm sincerely thankful for your trust, support and geeking out over these amazing products like I do. If anyone wants to chat science and ingredients, ping me! #KISSintheKitchen #blackfriday2019 #cleanliving #lowtoxliving #shopsmall #smallbiz #communityovercompetition #workingmama #sahwm #sanantoniomoms #satx #workingmomlife #switchtosafer #holidayshopping #kissblog

💛6 years ago today I did a thing. It was a day where I told myself I could do hard things and that with God's favor and staying in tune with His still small voice, I couldn't make a wrong move. I started my nutrition private practice 6 years ago today. After seeing kiddos hit a wall in inpatient settings, I wanted to be able to do more outside the walls of a hospital.
*
💛If you've been following me from the start, you know this all began as a pediatric private practice, Lone Star Nutrition. LSN is still here behind the scenes, but it’s not where I'm currently focusing my energy. I absolutely adore helping kiddos improve their nutrition but it's the part of what I do that is on the back burner in this season. I look forward to when I can be more available for some precious families, but right now my priority is being available for my own and focusing on other areas of my business that are where I know my time and attention need to be.
*
💛Building businesses from the ground up is no small feat. But one thing is for sure- it's not one person and definitely not the business owner that makes or breaks it- I FULLY believe that. It's the superstars behind the scenes, the people who take the chance on you, the family members who sacrifice time, the people who show up and would buy ice from you if you were in Alaska and the good Lord that helps work all things together for our good and His glory. So thank you. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, family. Thank you, friends. Thank you, clients (who are friends and family). Thank you to the people who I don't even know are supporting me but you make recipes and then tell me like two years later you've been making my recipes for the past two years🤣. Words of affirmation is my love language so I cling to those things! Thank you for the post shares and for tapping the like button when so much digital content is fighting for your attention. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. #KISSintheKitchen #dietitian #privatepractice #6yearanniversary #youcandohardthings #communityovercompetition #womanownedbusiness #godsfavor #thankfulgratefulblessed #sanantonioblogger #satxbloggers #localbiz #shopsmallbiz #satxfoodie #KISSblog

(Ad) Anyone else feel like they serve the same side dishes every year? I don't know if I'm just not wanting to deviate from family favorites or if I wait too late to plan the menu, but this year I plan on serving something new, fun and of course- simple! This Blueberry Wild Rice Salad is something my family is already getting excited about and it's one of THREE Recipes that just hit the blog today (link in bio)!
*
We're big blueberry fans around here (there are far more blueberry recipes on my blog than other recipes!) and adding blueberries to side dishes is such a fun way to get in some extra color, nutrition and flavor. Blueberries are a good source of vitamin C and a good source of fiber! They're such a simple solution to help meet the recommended amount of fruits per day. No matter fresh or frozen, add them to oatmeal, yogurt smoothies, shakes, sauces or in this case- rice!
*
I'd love to know at least one new recipe you plan on including in your family's holiday meals this season! #KISSintheKitchen #blueberries #thanksgivingsides #sidedishes #thenewhealthy @cookinglight #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #dietitianapproved #trysomethingnew #rdeats #fiber #familymeals #holidaytraditions #satxfoodie #satxblogger #kissblog

I struggle to admit this for fear of what people might think or that I’ll sound too privileged but I use @heb curbside or delivery 99% of the time for our groceries. I grocery shopped like most people do (and freaking loved it) until I was about 30. Then life got next level busy. Then I got pregnant, had a kid and life got next next level busy. Yes, I used to LOVE picking out the perfect bananas, berries and other fresh produce. Yes, it was VERY hard to relinquish control. And yes, I leave copious notes in the grocery order about how greenish yellow I want my bananas or how the strawberries need to be as close to perfect as possible because they’ll be on TV. And yes, when allowed by the store/delivery service, I tip very well🤣.
*
But here’s why I’m really sharing this. It’s not about groceries or who picks them out. It’s a little about letting go of control (someone needs this reminder) and a lot about how we spend our time. Is there something in your life that you can let go of and allow someone else to take responsibility of? Maybe it’s groceries. Maybe it’s house cleaning. Maybe it’s washing your car or letting someone else watch your kid for a few hours one day. Yes, these are all things that might require more money and although I’m afraid of what some may think by me sharing this, I really feel like someone needs permission to let go of responsibilities someone else can manage in the name of more time for themselves, their families and overall well-being. Maybe it’s something that doesn’t cost anything at all and it’s a conversation with a spouse about needing their help. Whatever it is for you, consider this your nudge and permission to accept help!
*
What’s something you could take off your plate this week?

P.S. I was actually intending on writing about grocery shopping and meal prepping but went on a tangent. This is what happens when I don’t plan out content🤦🏼‍♀️🤣.
