Pumpkin Pistachio Crunch!
|
Hello Reader! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a new recipe. Between diving deep into my health coaching studies with NBHWC (National Board for Health and Wellness) and podcasting for Modern Persian Food, my kitchen has been a little quieter on the sharing front. But lately, I’ve had one recipe on repeat—so much so that I simply can’t keep it to myself any longer. This isn’t just any fall recipe; it’s my Pumpkin Pistachio Crunch. And while the name might sound like granola, let’s be clear: there are no oats here. This is a simple, clean, and ridiculously delicious blend of everything you crave this season. Fall is a time for fresh starts, a chance to get back into a routine, and really get things done. I’ve been in the coziest of autumn moods, from my chunky crochet pumpkin projects and my favorite nutty, sweet candle scents to the pumpkin spice coffee cream and, of course, this incredible crunch. This recipe is so good you’ll want to make a double batch. I promise you’ll find yourself sprinkling it on your morning yogurt, tossing it into your fall salads, and sharing it with everyone you know. Ready to make some magic? Let’s get to the recipe! Follow this link for the recipe: The Ultimate Pumpkin Pistachio CrunchAnd Reader —if no one has told you yet today, I'm thinking of you and I care about how you're doing. I'd love to help you take that first small step toward getting back into a routine and feeling like your best self. Ready to chat? Book a free call with me to talk about your vision. Schedule HERE. Can't wait to connect with you soon, Bita |

🍂 Coffee Date, Fall Food Finds ☕ Hi Reader! I’m back and settling into the energy of fall after a special multi-generational trip. My husband Bob, our daughters Leyla and Ava, and my 86-year-old mom, Maman Minoo, all explored the streets of London and Paris together over the last few weeks. This trip was a chance to travel in a “shoulder” month, off-season, now that both girls are officially done with school. Our younger daughter, Ava, joined us from New York, where she’s loving her new role...
Hello friend! Happy spring. Yesterday, Bob and I went on a long coastal beach walk with the dogs. We spotted at least six sweet bunnies on the trail! The glories of the season are all around us. wild bunnies on the trail Updates I graduated from the Pediatric Health Coach Academy, and I'm gearing up to take the NHWBC National Health and Wellness Coaching exam!

Good morning Reader, Happy New Year! I'm sure your inbox is overflowing with New Year's offers, gym specials, and "reboot" programs. It can feel overwhelming. I've been writing this newsletter for over a decade and I've been on the receiving end of those same emails myself. Through my own journey and coaching others, I've found that setting big, lofty goals can feel daunting and later hard to sustain. Let's appreciate where we are right now, work with what we have and the people in our lives....
