So much has changed in two years... but you are still my sunshine ☀️

Pre-parent Marni & Jesse circa 2019 when it was cool to travel & be out in public 😎

I can’t help but reminisce about this time of year. As this is when we typically head down south to sunny Florida.

Last year we had other plans 👶🏼. But this year we were definitely hoping to make our escape down south with our new addition...but yah know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Looking at this picture, I smile because we knew that when got home from this trip, we were going to start to try for a baby. Little did we know how bright our lives were about to become.

Although it would be nice to be in sunshine and salty waves. The real sunshine is right here. Right now. My family 👨‍👩‍👧 🐶
Sounds cliche but so true 🌞❤️

A little bit of everything breakfast bowl. I’m realizing that too much of one thing is boring by the end, so I decided to have it all instead 🥰

I’ve been loving my breakfast mish mash bowls with soaked & cooked oats, sheep yogurt, almond butter, soaked chia, granola, fruit & drizzled with honey. If I’m not having a green smoothie, eggs or cold grain-free cereal, I’m having this.

So there you have it, what I’m eating for breakfast these days. It’s quick, it’s filling and I just love all the textures.

Ive been getting g lots of questions on what I eat in a day. This is my start lately with a hot creamy matcha latte 🍵

Just like the good old days...
when I’d whip up a whole pack of @kraftdinnerca for lunch. Except this is nothing like that at all 😉

Not only because of the side of kale, but also because instead of processed fake cheese this is my own homemade version of “fake” cheese.

This recipe was also classic in my winter cooking classes back at the food studio (if you know about my old life). I’ve since made a few changes and today, I really wanted it for lunch.

Check it out below and when you make it, please tag me and let me know what you think 🧡👌🏼

What’s In It?
1 box of cooked chickpea or red lentil spirals

Blend Together:
3/4 cups water
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 softened small or 2 cups butternut squash cut in cubes (can be steamed or roasted)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1.5 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
1 clove chopped garlic
1 tbsp chopped onion
1⁄2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
Pinch of cayenne pepper optional
1 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon mellow white miso (or additional salt)
Black pepper to taste

How It’s Made?
1. Put the pasta on to boil, according to package directions.
While it’s cooking, blend all remaining ingredients together in a blender.
2. When the pasta is al dente, drain it, reserving about 1⁄2 cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to the pan.
3. Add the sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Add a little of the pasta water if more moistness is needed.
4. If the sauce is not as flavourful as you’d like, add a little more mustard and onion.
5. Place the pasta and the “cheese sauce” together in a large baking dish and top with ground flax and nutritional yeast and bake in the oven for 10-20 (if you like the crispy baked kind).

And enjoy!!

In the early days of parenthood, so much of the lo

In the early days of parenthood, so much of the load is on mama. Being the main source of comfort, food and security. But the role of papa is just as important but in a different way.

Jesse always makes Sarelle light up with pure glee. He has been such an amazing parent from day one and she is so lucky to have us both around everyday.

However, there was a time that she would fuss in his arms and she could only be comforted by me. But being the determined guy that he is, Jesse would do whatever he could to settle her. Whether that was walk in circles around the house, sway with her, shh her, take her outside to look at plants, read her books, play on the floor, give her a bottle of milk...he did what he could to eventually calm and console her.

When she started on solids, this was another level of intimacy. As he was able to feed her and be part of the experience of nourishing her in a different way than me.

But the biggest role Jesse has had since Sarelle was born was to support me, our home and our business. He was always able and willing to do all the things that I couldn’t. The dishes, the laundry, managing the garden, the lawn, the garbage and running the business that supports us. He has taken all of these on to keep our lives on track, while still being the best daddy to Sarelle.

Now that Relly is older, she is not only loving the word “dada” on demand (she even woke up saying it this morning) but she loves spending time with dad, especially their playtime in the pen with dad. They like to make messes and hide things. As they know that mama likes things in order and also likes to know where everything is 😉
They have this special bond. Daddy’s little girl now and forever🤎🤍

Today was one of those days where I hardly stopped or sat down (alone) for a second.

Sarelle’s four top front teeth (that we’ve been waiting on for weeks) are cutting. So she’s been super attached, fussy and irritable. She just wanted mom & boob all day.

But this meal completely grounded & nourished me. Thank goodness I had all of this available for a quick & easy lunch. It Included my delicious chunky sweet potato leek soup that I had made for my postpartum period and intuitively I took it out of the freezer yesterday. Knowing I’d need it today.

It was accompanied by the marinated cabbage slaw I made earlier this week, avocado, nut cheese, goat cheddar cheese and almond crackers. It was exactly the lunch I needed today. #realfood #realmom

AND TUBCAST IS BACK!
On today’s first episode of 2021, I have a long time friend and colleague of mine, Joy McCarthy of @joyoushealth.

She is not only a mama to her sweet daughter Vienna, but she is also a holistic nutritionist and author of three best-selling books and hosts the Joyous Heath Podcast with her hubby Walker.

I am thrilled to have her on my show as she has knowledge in so many areas that relate to mom and baby wellness. We cover a wide spread of topics including Joy’s positive pregnancy experience, what she craved during pregnancy, how she cared for her skin and baby bump, the interventions she avoided during pregnancy, how she prepared for a natural birth, the breastfeeding challenges she faced and the key nutrients for raising a healthy child.

⭐️I’m excited for you to hear this amazing chat with Joy. To do so, head on over to marniwasserman.com/013 💕

Morning movement with my monkey 🐒

Play time with Sarelle is always super fun, but now it’s also super productive 👌🏼

Now that Sarelle is at an age where she can entertain herself and is stable enough to sit and play on her own, we can both get a lot out of our time together in the morning.

I am able to do a mini workout while still interacting with her. I strap on my @bala ankle weights and do whatever exercises I can around her while still engaging and playing.

This is what 20 minutes looked like this morning. Yup, you bet in that time she managed to poop and breastfeed while I was doing some leg raises 💩 🤱🏼

I love that we are at a place that we can both get some movement and play in together. Not to mention the space is enclosed so she can’t wander off.

Happy Tuesday 👊🏼

There is no better feeling than a clean full fridg

There is no better feeling than a clean full fridge at the beginning of the week. Well maybe there is but this is pretty much up up there 🙌🏼

My fridge needed a deep cleaning today. I’m talking front to back, every shelf and drawer. I can’t believe I waited this long to have it sparkle and shine like this. It wasn’t that bad, as I keep on it. But you know how it gets, little crumbs, seeds, vegetable bits, a drip here & there...it definitely needed a BIG once over.

It also needed to be filled up with delicious fresh whole foods.

This is part of my Monday routine. I have some help in the kitchen to chop and help me prep food for the week. It’s game changer 👊🏼

I made a delicious cabbage slaw which is marinating on the top shelf and waiting to be eaten tomorrow. I am also loaded with heaps of fresh produce all ready to go for a stir fry, creamy soup and some other creations.

Feel free to also tap the picture to see all the different companies that help to fill the rest of the fridge ♥️ also feel free to ask about anything else you are curious about 👌🏼
