Guess what?? Meals don’t have to be complicated, elaborate or beautiful all the time 😂 . . . Happy Monday, babes! Hope you had a restful weekend and are ready for the week. . . . Supper last night was super simple and 100% satisfying and balanced! . . . 1 salmon burger from @traderjoes , cauliflower gnocchi roasted in the oven at 350 F for 15 minutes (thanks @lunchbyliz for the idea!) and roasted cauli and brocc for some extra nonstarchy veggie fiber and micros! . . . Best part? I have leftovers for lunch that I’m about to devour. Swipe left to see little Banzo Bean begging for human foods 😂 . . . Do something this week to empower you physically, mentally and spiritually 💕😊

@traderjoes grocery haul for the week! . . . Y’all know it’s my fave store and I had to share my finds this week! I typically do most of my grocery shopping at aldi or food lion because it’s convenient for me, but once a month I make a trip to TJ in #ashevillenc and it’s oh so worth it! . . . See my stories and food finds highlights to see the fun foods I got! . . . Sharing some grocery store tips for you babes⬇️ 🍁don’t shop HANGRY: you’ll likely make a lot of impulse buys and end up having a miserable experience because of being short tempered (at least I do!) 🍁buy foods you’ll actually eat! Making a list can help with this—planning your meals + snacks for the week can help prevent impulse buys 🍁read the label on quick go-to meals in the freezer section. TJ has a huge selection on healthier freezer foods that make our lives SO much easier! My faves: cauli/broccoli crust, cauli Gnocchi, sweet potato gnocchi, fish burgers, any frozen veggie . . . Hope all you babes have a GREAT weekend!! 😌

2 years ago today I married my best friend! . . . It’s crazy how you can know someone for just 4.5 years and it feels like a lifetime—in a good way! Bobby, I love you more and more everyday...you’re kind, selfless, giving and probably the most optimistic person I know 😂❤️ you make me a better person, you complete me 💕 . . . Our anniversary tradition is to eat apple cake (our wedding cake recipe), put on our wedding attire and prance around the house 😆 . . What is your anniversary tradition?? I’d love to know ⬇️⬇️⬇️ . . . Happy 2 year anniversary, @bwobbels302 ! Swipe left to see pics of the best day ever ❤️🍁💕

It’s a new week, do something that empowers you! . . . Celebrating #breastcancerawarenessmonth with my pink smoothie bowl. . . . #deats 1/2 banana 2/3 cup frozen cauliflower 2/3 cup frozen raspberries 1/2 cup greek yogurt (nonfat, plain) 1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened) . . . Blend until smooth and top with your faves! I love any fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter and dark chocolate 😊 . . . What’s your favorite smoothie ?? Let me know ⬇️ below

Happy weekend, y’all!! I’m SUPER stoked about the “cold front” coming through NC—hope you’re experiencing some more fall-like weather, too! . . . Finally sharing my homemade refined flour free, refined sugar free apple pie recipe. Taking a break from pumpkin treats 😂🎃 . . . Apple pie is my fave pie and perfect for holidays coming up. See link in bio for 🍁full FREE printable recipe🍁 note: whole wheat crust adapted from @livelytable and its 💣 . . . Pie Crust Ingredients: 2 cups 100% Whole Wheat Flour 2/3 cup (12 T) cold butter, cubed 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup cold water Filling Ingredients: 4 large apples (I used Fuji & Pink Lady) 1/4 cup Maple Syrup-pure 1 T Lemon Juice 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 2 tsp Cinnamon 1 T whole wheat flour Pie Crust Directions: 1. Using a food processor or high powered blender, pulse flour, butter, and salt until crumbly (or pea shaped form). 2. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until flour meets dough-like texture. 3. Form dough into 2 equal shaped disks. Refrigerate up to 3 days or go ahead and roll out and form crust into a pie pan. 4. Bake at 375 F for 10 minutes. Filling Directions: 1. Peel apples if desired. Slice apples to desired size. 2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add peeled + sliced apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon and flour. Mix well. Set aside. Assemble Pie: 1. Allow baked pie crust to cool for about 5 minutes. 2. Add apple pie filling. 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on pie. 4. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and ENJOY. *for goopier pie, use a tart apple and bake for additional 30-45 minutes and use top pie crust. . . . Which pie do you prefer: apple, pumpkin, or pecan? ⬇️let me know!! #livebetterwithkatdetter #livelytable

Happy #wellnesswednesday babes! What are you doing today to prioritize your health? Let me know ⬇️ . . . Sharing another #balancedmeal idea for some inspo! It’s vegetarian week at the Detter’s, so I made my veggie enchiladas! I shared the recipe a few weeks ago, but added a few more veggies to bulk up that fiber content. #deats below . . . Ingredients: 1 cup chopped spinach, 1 diced bell pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 onion chopped, 1 chopped yellow squash, 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, oil spray, 1 can enchilada sauce, 1 can black beans (drained, rinsed and slightly mashed with fork), 1tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 10 corn tortillas, 1/2 cup cheese 🌶 Directions: preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray saucepan with oil spray. Add garlic and onion & sauté until aromatic. Add spinach, squash and bell pepper and cook for about 3 minutes. Add mashed black beans and seasonings and simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool while you warm tortillas. Using a different pan, warm tortillas (30 seconds on each side)-this will keep the tortillas from breaking as you assemble enchiladas. 🌯 Assemble: pour half the can of enchilada sauce in a casserole dish. Put 2 spoonfuls of bean filling into corn tortilla, wrap and place in casserole dish. Once all enchiladas are made, pour the other half of enchilada sauce on top. Top with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 F or until bubbly. . . . Have a great day!

You guys, can you believe it’s OCTOBER! Prime fall season...just waiting for some cooler weather here in western NC. 🍁 🍁 “Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn”-Elizabeth Larson 🍁 🍁 I’ve seen many health & wellness educators post about making monthly intentions...something to aim for throughout the month. I’ve always been inspired by those posts, so I’m challenging you (and myself) to make some monthly intensions. 🍁 🍁 This month, I aim to: 🍂live generously & in the moment 🍂try not to sweat the small stuff 🍂pray more 🍂enjoy this season of life 🍁 🍁 You may not be where you thought you’d be in life...you may feel undervalued or undeserving...you may think “if I can just get this, then my life will be perfect”...and you’re not alone. Enrich your wellness and health journey, make fall intentions and know you’re not alone 🙏 🍁 🍁 Comment down below ⬇️ what your October intensions are...I’d love to know!

Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for a brand new week! . . . I tried @onceuponapumpkin pumpkin smoothie recipe and it was BOMB! Tastes just like frozen pumpkin pie with extra nutrients! . . . See her page for full recipe—here is what I used: 1/2 frozen banana 1/4 cup pumpkin purée 1 date 2 T peanut butter 1/4 c almond milk (unsweetened) 1 T chia seeds 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1/2 tsp ginger Splash of vanilla extract . . SO good + super satisfying . . . What pumpkin foods are you eating this week? Let me know below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Y’all, we made it to the weekend 🍁 . . . Weekends for me are all about quality time with my loved ones. See my IG story for some “living in the moment” inspiration...it’s hard to remember that in the chaos of life, but it’s so empowering and enriching. . . . Okay, now onto this #mealinspo for you babes! Lots of you asked for more balanced, nourishing meal ideas—so I’m here for ya! . . . Complex carb + protein: @eatbanza pasta (or any type chickpea pasta) Non starchy veggie: roasted zucchini, brocc, + mushrooms Fat + some extra protein: PUMPKIN (and butternut squash) Alfredo from @traderjoes *pumpkin + butternut squash add some extra fiber + flavor + micronutrients to the meal as well! . . . #deats Preheat oven to 400 F. Toss veggies (prepped ahead of time) in 1 T avocado oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp red pep flakes, + 1/2 tsp garlic salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes flipping halfway through. Cook banza pasta according to box directions. Heat @traderjoes autumn Alfredo sauce. Assemble your plate aiming to make half your plate veggies...then pour 1/4 cup of the sauce over your pasta. SO good!! . . . If you’re not near a @traderjoes , you can try making your own pumpkin Alfredo using @collegenutritionist recipe, 1 cup pumpkin purée + 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese. 😊🍁🎃 . . . Enjoy the weekend, babes!
