I'm a chocolate-loving nutritionist, pre & postnatal coach, doula and let's face it- total birth nerd 🤓. I'm here to help you cut through mommy-marketing and pinterest perfection to confidently cultivate a pregnancy and postpartum experience you totally love.
If you haven’t noticed, we are BIG fans of one-pot meals in this house and not just because we hate dishes. This one-pot paleo chili is loaded with veggies, grassfed beef, and lots of flavor. It makes for fantastic leftovers and I think actually tastes even better the next day.
We are prepping for Baby Bob’s arrival in just a few weeks, so we are making a big batch of this chili to portion into freezer meals to make that early postpartum time as simple as possible!
