Tell me you’re Albanian, without telling me you’re Albanian. A lot of my posts talk about being Albanian, but they’re all in English. So this one is in my beautiful native language, Albanian (English subtitles on screen 👀) I was born and raised in Albania and moved to the US when I was 17. I’ve lived here most of my life now, but there are so many sides of my roots that still shape who I truly am. These are just some of the signs of my Albanian side inside my home. My children have grown up surrounded by all of it. For them it isn’t “culture” or something to explain. It’s just part of who we are, and who I am. Raising a bicultural family means choosing, every day, what we carry forward. These little signs are how my story stays alive in my kitchen and my home. So I want to hear from YOU 👇 
If you’re Albanian, or you’ve ever spent time in an Albanian house, drop it in the comments: what’s the ONE sign you knew they were Albanian? 😂 Balkan, Greek, Italian, Mediterranean family… I have a feeling you’ll see yourself in this too. #AlbanianCulture #AlbanianTraditions #BiculturalFamily #TricksInTheKitchen #StandardsKitchenMethod

• 1 cup cooked farro (cooked in chicken stock for flavor) • 1 grilled pork chop with olive oil • 2 boiled eggs • Tomatoes, peppers, and feta About 900 calories, 60+ grams of protein, and 7 grams of fiber. This is what cooking with intention looks like. It's the heart of the standards kitchen method and everything I teach here. A little meal prep, and lunch actually keeps you full. Save this for your next high-protein lunch 📌 What's your go-to protein meal? 👇 #highproteinmeals #mediterraneandiet #mealprep #healthylunch #tricksinthekitchen
