One of the foods I most long for from my childhood bopping around Jewish delicatessens in New York and Los Angeles is the humble bowl of matzo ball soup: a mountain of tender dumplings surrounded by rich stock and not much else.

As a child I would nibble each tender spoonful, carefully whittling down my knaidel (as “matzo ball” is called in Yiddish). I felt comforted and loved, not from my grandmother’s kitchen, but by those fascinating, mostly ancient servers who dished it up. Over 20 years ago, my darling nanny and I attempted to make this soup at home. How’d we do with this highly regarded (and oh-so-controversial) dish? Did I change up the original recipe?

I’ve always been one to sleep late, and I’m a huge advocate of napping. It must run on my mother’s side since my sisters share this fondness for snoozing. My father, on the other hand, is up before dawn and only needs an occasional five minutes of shut-eye in his recliner to recharge his batteries. But nap time is one thing; an energy crash at 4 p.m. when I’m running on a deadline is another.

This light and crunchy salad is such a welcome change after all the holiday indulgences. I love how easily this comes together, and the addition of the sweet raisins pair exceptionally well with the spiced chickpeas for a wonderful combination of sweet and savory.

“I’d never met a woman who thought she was beautiful, or who didn’t call herself a work-in-progress, at best.” – Erin Brown, on learning body hatred at a young age from her female role models

Think for a moment about the reality of this statement.  It’s stunningly accurate.

The message in this video is so critical, because like Erin, so many of us have set out on our fitness journey with intention of “fixing” ourselves.  We think:

I’ll love myself when…
I’ll be good enough when…
I’ll be worthy when…

But the problem is, we don’t realize that loving ourselves has nothing to do with the weight on the scale, the size of our jeans, or the way our stomach looks.

Because the truth is when you get “there,” “there” is not enough.  You still want more, you still want better, you still want different, and you’re STILL not enough.

At Girls Gone Strong we believe that the foundation of your fitness journey has to be recognizing that you are enough, as you are right now, with no strings or numbers attached.

For this very reason, Girls Gone Strong and Erin have put together a simple and actionable resource to help you start changing your relationship with yourself and your body.  It’s what we believe every woman needs to lay the foundation for a lifelong journey of true mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

And you can get her Handbook (and all of our other Handbooks) up to 50% off now through Monday night.  We highly recommend you pick up a copy right now.

Comment of the Week

I like charred meat so I just formed a belief that fiber from vegetables, fruit, and psylium simply carry out any nasty carcinogens. It’s not very scientific, but I sleep well. This has saved me a few times from long articles that prove my premise.

Nachos certainly have a time and place. When I was in college, that time and place broadened exponentially to include pretty much anywhere and any time, but today things have certainly changed. We make nachos occasionally when the Super Bowl is on or when a group of friends are over to watch a movie, so to try and persuade me that nachos belong on the breakfast table would be stretch, but after working on this recipe, I’m a changed woman.
