Hello, I am Emilee Grochowski and I am the creator of Wellness and Well-Drinks. I am here to share the trial runs, the ups and downs, the happiness, the sadness, and what I have learned all while drinking a tequila soda with 2 limes (hey, don’t knock it till you try it!)

What’s cooking? • Easy #whole30 friendly lunches that yes, you can easily freeze for your convenience and less food waste! To be clear, I am NOT Whole30, but I do like the ideas that it serves. I like the idea that we should be eating as naturally as possible, but also realistically. Not everything I make will be Whole30, because there are sauces and such that I use and I also eat some dairy and grains. And that’s what works for ME! It’s all about doing what is best for YOUR body! • Directions: start by chopping your onions and zucchini. Brown your onions first, then add your zucchini. Add your ground turkey along with the spices of your liking. I chose to use salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let cool and store about 1 cup in each ziplock bag. Then, chop and boil your sweet potatoes. Drain them, and add to a separate bag. Freeze and take out the night before you need to use it! Take this to work, or in my case, school and reheat there (or it’s good cold with salsa!) You can eat this with cauliflower rice, with greens, or whatever works for you!

What’s cooking? • Whole30 friendly Coconut Curry Chicken crockpot/freezer meal! • Directions: cube 2 chicken breasts and place in a freezer bag. Add 1/4 cup melted coconut oil and your curry seasoning! This is what I had, but there are plenty out there. Even just curry paste works wonders. Then, pick/chop your veggies. I chose bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and mushrooms. Put those in a separate bag to freeze. You can either use coconut milk from the can, but I only use 1/2 the can, so I always freeze the other 1/2 for another meal! So here I also have coconut milk in the frozen form lol. But that’s it! You can make a few bags of this at a time too by using more chicken and veggies. Stock that freezer and you’ll be so happy when things get busy af. This feeds 2 or 1 with left overs! • To cook: put everything in the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours OR high for 3-4. It is amazing over cauliflower rice, brown rice, white rice...whatever fits your needs! I like to do 1/2 cup of rice and 1 cup of cauliflower rice!

What’s cooking? • I made 3 pans of #whole30 friendly Shepard’s Pie! And “wholey” cow...this stuff was amazing and boyfriend approved. • Cook 4lbs of ground beef and 1/2 chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian herbs. Drain. Add 1 can of carrots, 1 can of peas, and one small can of tomato sauce (you can use fresh or frozen veggies too, this is just what I had!) Sauté together with 1/2 cup of beef stock. Place in freezable tins. Peel and chop 4 large russet potatoes. Boil for about 10 minutes and drain water. Smash while hot. Basically mashed potatoes without all the butter and cream. Just natural foods. We topped with a sprinkle of cheese and more Italian herb seasoning. Let cool and wrap in foil! Boom! 3 tins of healthy comfort foods! • To reheat: pull out of freezer the night before to defrost. When ready for dinner, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Cook with a foil tent for 25 minutes. Turn to broil, take the tent off and cook for 5 more minutes to have a crispy top! You can add gravy too if that’s something you enjoy! • Alternatives/substitutes? Use cauliflower or sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. Use ground turkey instead of ground beef. Use different veggies that you like to eat. It’s all up to YOU and YOUR needs! This worked for us and we are excited to have 2 more in the freezer for whenever we want something cozy.

Hi. This is my body right now. And that’s okay. She’s sunburnt (I swear I put sunscreen on..) she’s uncomfortable in her favorite bikini, and she’s not been to the gym in months. And that’s okay. • I want to tell myself to be ashamed of what I’ve done to my body, but in reality, this is life. Things change and we put health and fitness on the back burner. We put fun and ease at the top of our list. But I haven’t felt like the confident, healthy woman I found during 2018. I am embarrassed that I have now put on more weight than I lost, and I have eaten out more times than I’ve cooked, but it’s okay. It’s life, and I am human. • My soul is anxious, my muscles are weak, and my mind is distracted...but I’m here to change that. I’m ready to go back to keeping all of myself healthy and well loved. Nourished in all ways. • So, I’ve decided to make this Instagram less focused on “blogging” and more focused on sharing my journey. My journey through finding fitness again, falling in love with natural food again, grinding through school and work, and just continuing to grow in my mid-20’s. • Here you will find many freezer meals, maybe some workouts, crockpot goodies, my grad school rollercoaster, and just how to practice wellness when life gives you too much. I’m here to keep myself accountable and anyone else who may need it.

Didn’t want to forget to share this beautiful breakfast! I am feeling the sweet and savory vibes, and this was a great way to do both. • dEATS: •Green 4 juice from @pressedjuicery •sautéed blueberries and strawberries •1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt •1/2 gluten free oats •1/4 cup homemade granola •1 tablespoon sun butter •unsweetened coconut flakes sprinkled on top • I had this after my workout and it held me over during my 3 1/2 hour shift at the hospital. So delicious and nutritious! I am loving being able to eat delicious foods while still eating healthy. Happy Friday ✨ • •• • #wellnessandwelldrinks #wellness #wellnesscoach #wellnessjourney #wellnessblogger #curvygirl #curvyyogi #curvyyoga #healthy #healthcare #healthcoach #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #healthybreakfast #breakfast #hospital #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitnesslife #greenjuice #pressedjuicery #recipe #food #foodie #blogger

A big bowl of one of my favorite green soups is perfect for a night where I am in serious need of comfort. This tasted exactly how I wanted it to, and I enjoyed each and every spoonful. I know it’s warm weather, but with my anxiety and all the craziness that my body has been experiencing, I was craving comfort food! • I created this recipe awhile ago. In fact, I used to eat it non-stop in the winter with its amazing benefits. This baby is packed with vitamins, minerals, immune boosting qualities, and helps keep your gut healthy! Personally, I do not eat canned soup anymore because I don’t like the artificial ingredients going into my body. Sure, every now and then, but that isn’t going to help me in the long run. Instead, I took the 7 minutes to make this goodness. • I think I’ve posted the recipe on here before, but I thought I would go ahead and post it again considering I’ve made some upgrades! • dEATS: •1 medium avocado •1 cup broccoli •1 cup kale •4 large cloves of garlic •1 1/2 cups chicken broth •3/4 cup basil. Simply blend together in a blender, adding more broth if needed. Then, heat in a small sauce pan over the stove. At this point, I like to add sea salt, cracked pepper, and nutritional yeast for some more flavor. Once the soup is hot, pour into a bowl and top with crushed red pepper if desired. Delicious and so comforting! • •• • #wellnessandwelldrinks #wellness #wellnessjourney #wellnessblogger #health #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #plantbased #vegan #vegetarian #veganfood #greens #kale #avocado #broccoli #healthcoach #fitness #fitnessjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #foodblogger #whole30 #glutenfree #comfortfood #immunesupport #anxiety #mentalhealth #adenomyosis
