β Dear Reader, We're having a blast in the 30 in 7: Plant powered challenge. We are on day 3, but it's not too late to jump in and catch up. Here are just some of the new plants people have been trying: Amaranth, mango, apple, banana, kiwi, escarole, tomatoes, banana, almonds, chia seeds, broccoli asparagus carrot, onion, potato, beets, celery, cauliflower, kidney beans lettuce, kamut, yellow plum, jalepeno, avocado, oat grotes, flax seeds....and on and on. I'm so impressed. I've been giving participants short daily videos to help inspire them to find creative ways to get in more plants. Here's the one where I toured my local grocery store and shared some tips and tricks about buying produce. β βJoin us for the last 4 days of the 30 in 7: Plant Powered Challengeβ β β β Have it: My husband got me an Apple watch for my birthday (which is this Sunday - don't worry you still have plenty of time to wish me a happy birthday!) I am using it as a health tracking device for sleep, heart rate and exercise information. I haven't worn any kind of watch for years so it's taking some getting used to but so far I love it. There are so many trackers out there these days. Do you use any? β Interesting article alert: ADHD-like traits could advantage humans in foraging, study finds: I feel vindicated! (gift article) β Made it: New Substack: 5-senses Sunday (romantic staycation without kids edition) β Want it: βThis is brilliant. I'm definitely going to use this tool for the next book club, block party or pot luck I have next. β I am going to find a way to see this show on Broadway, one way or another. I am a huge fan of Jeremy Strong. β Ingredient Spotlight: Fiddleheads Fiddleheads are the unfurled fern plant that you can forage, cook and eat very easily. They are only around from the beginning of May for a few short weeks. They have a snappy, woody taste much like asparagus and taste great in a stir fry or just sautΓ©ed plain. Like asparagus, fiddleheads are high in antioxidants, fiber and even have some essential fatty acids. βTry this recipe which is the most simple way to prepare and eat fiddleheads. Let me know if you've ever tried these! β Announcements & Upcoming: β + Great podcast interview I had with Amy Connelly from the Graced Health Podcast coming soon. + The 2nd annual Ultimate Bundles goal-setters summit goes live May 5th. I'm sharing a brand new workshop called: Savoring Simplicity: Crafting Delicious & Healthy Meals Amidst Life's Chaos More info on both coming very soon! β Extra Bytes: β What I'm reading: Deep Work by Cal Newport What I'm listening to: Happier, with Gretchen Rubin (one of my favorite podcasts) What I'm watching: You with Penn Badgley What I'm eating: Spanish Garbanzo beans with Romesco and Aioli toast β That's it for me this week. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy hump day! Warmly, Jenny β β |
Hi! I'm Jenny Eden Berk
Welcome to "Have it // Made it // Want it Wednesday," a space where we come together to explore the realms of Eating Psychology, Mindful & Intuitive Eating, Meal Planning, and Culinary Nutrition.
Dear Reader, As you read this, I am in chilly but beautiful Stockholm Sweden! I love that it gets dark so late (past 9pm) and so I am filled with energy and excitement here. We're about to hit the traditional Swedish spa experience followed by a quick cold plunge in the lake! I am relishing in all the senses on this adventure. I'm especially excited to have a few "Fika's" this trip. I'm determined to find that vegan bakery I spoke of in last's week's email to you all. Ok, on to my curated...
Dear Reader My husband and I are leaving for Sweden on Sunday! We're doing a red eye flight and then jumping right in with a water tour of the archipelagos of Stockholm and later in the week, going to the Eurovision lives shows in Malmo. I have to be honest. Traveling often makes me a little stressed as it relates to food. It's not that its always so hard to nourish myself on a trip like this. But with my dietary restrictions (plant-based, dairy free etc) I like to do my due diligence and...
Dear Reader, In 2020, my 2 best friends from High School had an intervention with me. I was spending so much time on my business and my creative goals that I completely neglected them in my earnest quest to build and grow my business. I'm not proud of this. I've always prided myself in my ability to maintain long term and strong friendships. But, I also tend to be hyper-focused and even myopic when I'm passionate about something and have a goal I'm focused on. I knew I needed to find more...
