Happy 5-ingredient Friday!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy 5-ingredient Friday!! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week I’m sharing a recipe for these seed crackers, that happen to be gluten free (and nut free and are ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS!!) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I created the recipe based on some seed crisps things I had at Trader Joe’s and just couldn’t get them off my mind, they were so good! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are so good, serve them with a cheese plate or with some hummus!!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All this to say, the weekly love list is live, so grab a cup of coffee/tea/water (<- need to drink more of the stuff) and enjoy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, not gonna lie, I still have last weeks’ love list pulled up because I forgot to share about it and purchase something (the cool health tracker bracelet thing, which will hopefully help me with the above water situation!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Iced coffee or hot coffee?! ☕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cold, delicious iced coffee from Starbucks. But sometimes I don’t have the time (or, let’s be real, the 💰) to pick one of these bad boys up in the mornings, so I was determined to figure out how to make Starbucks iced coffee at home, which is exactly what I did with this french press iced coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who doesn’t love Mexican food?! 🙌⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who doesn’t love Mexican food?! 🙌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I like to prep these Mexican chicken and quinoa bowls on the weekend and then have everything ready to go for a quick dinner during the week.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just separate everything in containers, and then when we need a quick dinner, I just put everything on the table and let everyone choose their toppings.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love using my Instant Pot for soups because you I love using my Instant Pot for soups because you can build amazing flavors in no time at all! ⏱️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you make this Instant Pot chicken and rice turmeric soup, it will be bright yellow! You’ll taste flavor notes of ginger and lemon (and, of course, a slight earthiness of turmeric). YUM!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can we talk food storage? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Storage containers and finding the right ones that work for me has been a complete game changer! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only do I use containers as mixing bowls/etc but I also use them for food storage and for photography props!

I can’t get over how much I love my air fryer. 🤩 Do you use one?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
