Autumn Healthy Snacks

          The seasons are changing and it’s time to start enjoying some of the festive Autumn foods!

          Unfortunately, my new apartment is a tiny studio place with a tiny kitchen space so I can’t make many things at home. But there are still loads of simple and healthy snacks to be made with a small cooking space. 

          Below are some easy foods to make that will fill you up without weighing your day down.
          The first is my unique recipe for dumplings. I bought some simple pre-made dumpling wrappers and let them come to room temperature in the package. Then, in a small pan I boiled bakchoi and a container of fresh picked mushrooms. After about 3 minutes boiling I drained them and added tofu and spices along with a tablespoon of sesame oil. I cooked that for several minutes, let it cool, and drained out all the excess liquid. 

          Then, I filled the wrappers, sealed, and steamed them. Topping it off with a drizzle of sesame oil and sesame seeds. It’s delicious!  

          The snack I love in Autumn is a combination of mixed nuts and dried fruits. In this picture I have prunes, cranberries, bananas, pistachios, peanuts, and a few others. The salad is made simple greens, with walnuts, peanuts, and cranberries. Add a couple kimbap slices and it’s a full meal by its own or a great snack to share with friends!

          Greek yogurt with granola and cranberries, homemade salmon dip with crackers, and some water and there is a perfect meal fit for Autumn. 

           I hope you enjoyed it. Are there any things you enjoy eating during this season? 

Life in the style of Leah Kulia is pretty simple. 

1. Make time to know yourself. 

          Follow what you like doing and see where it takes you! For me, it unexpectedly lead me to Youtube, teaching, and art school. By doing all this stuff, I realised my original plan of being a historian is still the path for me, but if I ignored my interest in other things I might have always resented not trying something new! Good thing I listened to my instinct. I wasted a bit of time taking the round-about way, but it was for a good purpose. 

2. Be healthy but don’t stress about it. 

          Listen to your body. It’ll tell you all the stuff you need to know, but also be conscious of what you eat/do. Exercise a few times a week and be active doing something at least once a day (both mentally and physically). 

3. Set a goal in your life and do something everyday to achieve it. 

          A friend gave me this advice and it honestly helps from dropping into emotional lows. Working towards something you want makes time feel much more worthwhile. 

     There are always times when I don’t follow all of these, but I do my best to stay healthy and happy! What do you like doing to stay healthy? Any tricks you use?

     Thanks for reading!
