My collaboration with Green Chef!

It’s your last chance to order my Emily Mariko x Green Chef recipes! This week I made my One-Pot Herbed Chicken Soup, and Beef Tenderloin with Brown Butter Potatoes. Both recipes took about 30 minutes to make, and everything was pre-portioned, prepped and delivered straight to my door!

These recipes are so perfect for when I’m super busy but still want something healthy and nutritious. As you all know, it can be overwhelming to try to balance health and ease, and my recipes with Green Chef make it simple. I love the ricotta pancakes for a Sunday morning treat before getting to my weekly errands! And we’ll dig into the beef tenderloin on our date nights :).

The Green Chef x Emily Mariko recipe series includes:

• Maple Cauliflower Bowls with Seared Tofu

• Sockeye Salmon with Sweet Heat Pan Sauce

• One-Pot Herbed Chicken Soup

• Beef Tenderloin with Brown Butter Potatoes

• Chicken with Cardamom Spiced Greek Yogurt

• Ricotta Pancakes with Cherry Maple Syrup

• Chicken with Sriracha Apricot Pan Sauce

• Seared Beef Tenderloin with Ginger-Lime Aioli

The recipe series is available the week through the week of March 25, and you can choose from two new recipes per week. Make sure to use code EMILYMARIKO to get 60% off plus free shipping on your first box!

Swedish Candy

I kept seeing Swedish candy on my for you page, and made it my mission to find some in the Bay Area. I ended up at The Candy Store in SF, where they had jars and jars of delicious candy and even grab-and-go bags of mixed Swedish gummies! I went through the whole bag in a day or two… the pillowy texture is something I hadn’t experienced before with gummy bears or other American candies. So good!

Pregnancy essentials

I’m now in my third trimester of pregnancy! As my belly grows, I’m finding it harder and harder to figure out what to wear. The dress in my candy video is from Skims, and the hoodie is a zip up from Lululemon. I’m looking forward to warm weather so that I can wear dresses for the rest of my pregnancy.

I recently purchased this pregnancy pillow from Amazon. I have a queen size bed, so the typical u-shaped pregnancy pillows would take up too much room. This one is still super long, and filled with tiny beads that contour nicely to the body. Another pregnancy must-have for me is this pill container. These are the prenatals I take, along with some other supplements, and I like how the pill container has three compartments for morning, noon, and night. I also like that you can take out a day’s container and stick it in your purse.

As for cravings, my sweet tooth is still going strong. I’m loving hot chocolate and fresh-squeezed orange juice.

I’m low iron, so I’m trying to eat lots of dark leafy greens. The easiest way I’ve found to incorporate more greens daily is by adding a huge amount of spinach to my eggs in the morning. It wilts down so much in the pan and the texture is great with scrambled eggs.
