🗣️ PECANS CAN GO ON MORE THINGS THAN JUST PIE!⁠
⁠
In fact, they are sooo tasty in this Lemon Veggie Pasta with Crushed Pecans dish I whipped up. Fresh, summery, and you don't have to give up the pasta, even if you're gluten-free. If you don't have kale or broccoli, use whatever veggies you do have on hand! You can also add meat or fish for a more filling meal. Even without it, this dish will keep you full for a long time!⁠
⁠
It was even better the next day - all the flavors had time to marinate! ⁠
⁠
Get the recipe for this delicious Lemon Veggie Pasta with Crushed Pecans below and check out the blog - link in bio!⁠
⁠
INGREDIENTS:⁠
-1 cup pecans⁠
-8 oz gluten-free pasta⁠
-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided⁠
-4 cloves garlic, minced⁠
-1 head of broccoli⁠
-1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped⁠
-Juice of 1 lemon⁠
-1 tsp dried oregano⁠
-salt to taste⁠
-pepper to taste⁠
⁠
INSTRUCTIONS:⁠
1. Start water in a pot to bring to a boil for the pasta. ⁠
2. While water is heating, toast pecans in a skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes until fragrant. Do not add oil. 3. Remove from skillet and roughly chop. Set aside.⁠
4. Once water is boiling, cook pasta to almost done according to the directions. It will finish cooking when added to cooked vegetables.⁠
5. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or dutch oven pot until hot. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.⁠
6. Add broccoli and cook for about three minutes until starting to get soft. Add kale and cook for 2 minutes more. ⁠
7. Add the pasta, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is coated.⁠
8. Top with chopped pecans and serve.⁠

What do you want to be able to stamp “she did it” on? Go after it. You can do it!⁠
⁠
Go get that job promotion. Break off that toxic relationship. Travel the world, become a runner, move to a different state, go gluten-free! Whatever you want to go after, there is no better time than now. ✨⁠

Summer may be officially here but that doesn't mea

Summer may be officially here but that doesn't mean you have to give up your summer goals of getting yourself in the best place possible! If there's one thing we've learned through pursuing a healthy lifestyle is that it's never too late to start - or restart if you've fallen away from your goals. The best time to work on your goals is now, even if you're just beginning. If you feel motivated to pursue eating healthier, start an exercise routine or work to improve your mental health, then the time is now.⁠
⁠
We also know that having resources to help you achieve your goals is just as important. You are 42% more like to achieve your goals if you've written them down. But when you write down your goal of eating healthier, for example, it's important to have intermediate steps of how exactly you'll achieve that goal. It could look something like this:⁠
⁠
Goal: eat healthier this month!⁠
Action plan:⁠
-No junk food on the grocery list - buy fresh fruits and veggies instead⁠
-Drink a smoothie every day for breakfast⁠
-Eat veggies and fruit as a snack during the day instead of chips⁠
-Mark on a calendar each day that I drink a smoothie for breakfast and choice fruit and veggies as a snack.⁠
-After a month I will re-evaluate. I will count this goal a success if I've achieved the goal steps 75% of the month.⁠
⁠
Now you've created measures to set yourself up for success and you are more likely to achieve your goal! ⁠
⁠
The BurgerFit Small Steps Planner has compiled all the resources you need to set up and keep track of your goals. We've even added inspiring quotes throughout the planner and tips & tricks from Alane Boyd who used similar tools & resources to successfully lose and keep off 40 pounds! What would your life look like if you committed the summer to pursuing the goals you're wanting to achieve? ⁠

The quintessential back pocket recipe...literally!

The quintessential back pocket recipe...literally! ⁠
⁠
You know what they say, pita pockets are the best thing since sliced bread! At least they should be saying that because everything really does taste better in a pita pocket. ⁠
⁠
We feel that we've truly created the best pocket combo with our BurgerFit deconstructed Mediterranean Pocket recipe. Fresh, summery and so easy to make, this is a great recipe to keep in your back pocket for when you're looking to switch up your usual meals or need something to share with company. ⁠
⁠
Or make it today and see what we mean when we say that everything tastes better in a pocket. Get the recipe for BurgerFit's Mediterranean Pocket - link in bio! ⁠

The mind has so much power and influence and can p

The mind has so much power and influence and can positively (or negatively) affect the body. What are you doing today to feed your mind to support a healthy body?⁠
⁠
If you don't know where to begin, start with positive affirmations in the morning. Look yourself into the mirror, take some deep breaths and speak these words out loud to yourself.⁠
⁠
1. I am capable of great things.⁠
2. I am on the right path and am moving in the right direction.⁠
3. I am growing and learning every day and am constantly becoming a better version of myself.⁠
⁠
BurgerFit founder Alane really struggles coming up with her own affirmations so she likes having a list of some to choose from. It's a nice reminder that we don't have to do this on our own, it is okay to find resources to help.⁠

With Father’s Day right around the corner, it’

With Father’s Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to upgrade dad’s grilling game! The Beefer is the original 1500 degree grill for the home and is famously known for creating the most delectable, premium, and juiciest cuts of meat.
Perhaps the best part of giving day the gift of the Beefer is that you’ll benefit from his grilling upgrade as well - from burgers to fried eggs, you’ll love everything that is perfectly seared in the Beefer. Order the Beefer and give dad the grilling upgrade he deserves - link in bio! Reposted from beefer_usa & flogrownfoodie

Doing what we love enhances our health and wellbei

Doing what we love enhances our health and wellbeing because our heart, mind, and spirit falls in line with what we're passionate about. Pursuing what you love and letting everything else will fall into place can be really hard for us to do. We do need to make a living while building our a life around what we are passionate about. This can start so many different ways. ⁠
⁠
One way is to start working towards living the life doing what you are passionate about is to work on it a little bit every day, even if it is only for 10 minutes. At the end of the week, you'll have over an hour of progress made towards your goal. Then after a month, you are 5 hours closer! ⁠
⁠
If you wait until you have more time, more money, or until you're in a different place in life, you will be that much further behind and some never get to the point that they start.⁠
⁠
When Alane came up with the idea of BurgerFit, it would be years before she had the opportunity to launch the company but over those years, she slowly developed her recipes. Now BurgerFit just hit its first birthday! It just shows that pursuing what you love a little bit a time is still progress and worth doing ✨⁠
