This morning I received a very sweet message from my twin brother and then of course I’m blessed to have my two rugrats (kids) spoil me this morning as well.

Then we got together with a few friends and their kids and had pizza - watched some episodes of a show (no not BL… kids were present) and relaxed.

Rouxls having to do certain shit in secret despite being the single most conspicuous creature to have ever gleaned the face of the planet is something I think about. A healthy amount

The amount of divided by zero energy in this man is unparalleled. He’s playing 3836-D Chess with himself and losing bc he cannot figure out he’s actually playing checkers

Caring is a performance until Lancer comes along and fucks it up so not caring is also a performance and he makes them fight for dominance on the regular

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲

This is a simple elegant dish - made entirely in one skillet, this yummy dinner can be on your table, ready to serve, in just 30 minutes.

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

• 900g Chicken Thigh – Boneless and skinless, chopped up (if using chicken breast you can add butter but I found the thigh 'juicy' enough)

• 1 Onion

• 2 Garlic Cloves crushed – flavour enhancers in this creamy mushroom sauce.

• 2 cups of Mushrooms – chopped up tiny

• Cornflour - to help thicken the sauce (I used guess work til it thickened up)

• White Wine - adds a depth of flavour to the sauce but I dont think it's necessary. Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic version, replace it with chicken broth.

• Cup of chopped up Kale

• 1 Cup of Cream – can use a heavy cream or make with half-and-half, which is a simple blend of equal parts whole milk & light cream. You can also use sour cream

• Squeeze of Lemon

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱

1) Heat the skillet

2) Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in skillet and cook on both sides, about 3 to 5 min per side or until no longer pink inside, time depends on thickness of your breasts. Since the breast is fairly thin, it should cook faster. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

3) Cook the Mushrooms: Add the onion, kale & garlic to the skillet and cook for a couple minutes until onion is translucent & soft.

4) Add the mushrooms and stir. Season mushrooms generously with salt and pepper. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let excess liquid evaporate. When they are cooked to your liking, add the wine and deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom of the skillet. All those brown bits are flavour!

5) Finish the Sauce: Sprinkle the cornflour over the mushrooms & stir for another minute just to remove the raw flour taste. Next, add the cream, stir and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally or until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Taste for seasoning & adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon sauce over the chicken.

6) Finish and Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot

I have two kids and my 14 year old (eldest) has told me they don’t want kids and not sure if they ever will. I told them that’s fine. I admit that I wanted to have grandkids but that’s ok if they don’t.

stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don't want kids that they'll change their mind

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

Nutrition and Childhood Obesity: Expert Insights for Healthy Growth

Childhood obesity is a growing concern worldwide, with its prevalence more than doubling in the last few decades. It is not merely a cosmetic issue but a significant health challenge that can lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and psychological stress. At the heart of tackling this issue lies nutrition—a cornerstone for ensuring children grow up healthy and strong. In this blog, we will explore the relationship between nutrition and childhood obesity, effective strategies for prevention, and actionable tips for parents and caregivers.

Understanding Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity occurs when a child accumulates excess body fat that poses a risk to their health. Factors contributing to this condition include genetics, lifestyle choices, socio-economic conditions, and, most importantly, poor dietary habits. Foods high in sugar, unhealthy fats, and calories—coupled with low physical activity—are significant contributors to this growing epidemic.

The Role of Nutrition in Preventing Childhood Obesity

Balanced nutrition plays a pivotal role in a child’s physical and mental development. Proper dietary habits ensure adequate energy for growth, strengthen immunity, and reduce the risk of obesity. Here are key nutritional aspects to focus on:

Whole Foods Over Processed Foods: Suitable for fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Processed foods often contain hidden sugars and unhealthy additives that contribute to weight gain.

Portion Control: Teaching children to recognize appropriate portion sizes can prevent overeating. Using smaller plates and serving measured quantities can help inculcate mindful eating habits.

Limit Sugary Beverages: Soft drinks, flavored juices, and energy drinks are laden with sugar and empty calories. Encourage water, milk, or natural fruit-infused water as healthier alternatives.

Regular Meal Patterns: Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can lead to overeating later in the day. Ensure children eat three balanced meals and healthy snacks at regular intervals.

Nutrient-Dense Snacks: Replace chips, candies, and cookies with options like nuts, yogurt, fruit slices, or whole-grain crackers to provide essential nutrients without excessive calories.

Strategies for Parents and Caregivers

Addressing Emotional and Social Factors

Childhood obesity is often intertwined with emotional and social challenges. Bullying, low self-esteem, and emotional eating are common issues faced by obese children. Building a supportive and non-judgmental environment at home is crucial. Encourage open conversations and, if necessary, seek guidance from healthcare professionals or counselors.

Community and Policy-Level Interventions

While individual efforts are vital, combating childhood obesity requires community and policy-level changes:

Implement nutrition education programs in schools.

Ensure access to affordable, healthy foods in all communities.

Promote safe spaces for physical activity in neighborhoods.

Advocate for stricter regulations on advertising unhealthy foods to children.

Conclusion

Childhood obesity is a complex issue, but with the right nutritional strategies and lifestyle changes, it can be prevented and managed. Parents, caregivers, schools, and communities must work together to create a healthy environment for children. By instilling good dietary habits and encouraging active lifestyles, we can ensure that the next generation grows up strong, confident, and free from the burden of obesity. Let’s prioritize our children’s health today for a healthier tomorrow!
