It’s May! It’s May! The merry month of May! (Bonus points if you can name that musical).
Hello, Marvelous Morselites! 💚
It’s Mo, your colorful Morselist, frolicking into May full of gratitude, greens, and a whole lotta love for our mamas, mighty women, and magical guts!
Here’s what’s on the menu this month — of course, it’s always gluten-free, lightly to unsweetened, and sprinkled with extra sass. 😉
🥖 Celiac Awareness Month
Most of you know that I have celiac, so, yes, I’m gluten-free—for survival. This month, and well, every month, I’m on a mission to raise more awareness, compassion, and morselicious alternatives. Whether you’re celiac, gluten-sensitive, or just trying to improve your gut health, I’m here to support you, and you can find my recipes in previous posts and my cookbooks. #MorseliciousAndCeliacSafe
💪 National Women’s Health Week (May 12–18)
To my female friends, this is our week to shine (as if we ever stopped ✨). Time to check in with ourselves. Whether you’re battling burnout (Seriously, who isn’t?), balancing hormones, or dealing with brain fog, I’m here with healthy ideas, morselicious tips, and a reminder that our health is our superpower. 💃
🌷 Mother’s Day (May 11)
To the Morselicious mamas, grandmas, step-moms, fur-moms, and mother-figures who’ve ever cooked for us, gave some extra TLC, or made our veggies tasty to ensure we liked what we were eating—you are the true heroes! 💐 To my extra special Mama, may your day be filled with joy, extra R & R, and a tasty treat that doesn’t spike your blood sugar! To all of my sugar-free sugarplums, contact me if you need any suggestions.
Here are some fun, Mo-approved activities to celebrate National Women’s Health Week (May 12–18) that nourish the mind, body, and spirit, with a splash of sass and sprinkles of self-care/love:
💃 Get on your Glow
- Plan a “Sweat & Stretch” Session – Invite friends for a walk on the beach or a hike, followed by a short stretching session.
- Try Something New – Hula hoop, (it’s much harder than when I was a kid), but I tried it one mo’ time! Zumba, pickleball, spin—shake up your routine with something fun and fearless.
- After dinner stroll – Take a sunset walk after din-din with loved ones including your furry friends.
🥗 Nourish Like a Queen
- Host a “Make-Your-Own Morselicious Meal” Party – Think colorful bowls with clean protein and healthy fats, easy stuffed peppers, taco salads, low to no-sugar treats…
- Clean Pantry Purge – Purge the tempting “food-like products” and replace them with real food items. The first time I was able to do this without feeling guilty is when I saw my friend toss a row of store-bought cupcakes. Me: “How can you throw those away?” Mark: “It’s not real food, just chemicals and gunk.” Now, I’m not saying to toss homemade treats someone makes for you, but he was right, there is a difference. Read your labels and you’ll know. If not, send me a message if you have questions.
- Eat a Rainbow of Veggies Challenge: Eat one new colorful veggie every day. Bonus points for incorporating colorful veggies into every meal.
Morselicious hugs!
