This is an interesting fact I learned about gut health: Your gut contains more neurons than your spinal cord, earning it the nickname "the second brain" because it can control digestion entirely on its own.

My recipe for this week is a creamy walnut and basil spaghetti with peas! This was an extremely easy and yummy dish to make.

I am also on my own gut health journey, if there any recipes or recommendations please send them my way!

So for this week, we are going very simple.

Avocado toast.

Ingredients:
Avocado
Bread - Toasted!
Arugula
Salt
Pepper
Lemon (in photo is lime, I am out of lemons at the moment)
Tapatio (essential for my spice lovers)

Enjoy this very simple and easy breakfast!

What should be my first meal?

Hi, I’m Elena, documenting my attempt to become someone who actually cooks. Trying new recipes, figuring out my kitchen style, and learning as I go, some wins, some fails.

Just building the habit and getting better one meal at a time. If you’re doing the same (or just watching), welcome
