Category: Healthy Snacks

Not at all sexy. But definately real (life) right now. This week has already been a crazy ride and it’s only Tuesday. I have nothing in my fridge, and no time for the store today. And, I’m hungry. So, this is lunch: canned garbanzo beans (rinsed) and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt […]

  click to watch this video post! Do I have kids? No. Not yet, at least. But I have worked with a lot. A lot. And their parents to revamp and re-educate around healthy food and what it actually is. And, probably more importantly, what’s for dinner (and breakfast and lunch and snack too). And how […]

Let’s play a game today. Just so you can test yourself. Before you wreck yourself. It’s one of my favorites. And if you’ve seen me speak before, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Still play. Because when I posted about it earlier this week on Instagram and Facebook, I was surprised at people’s answers. […]

Yup, round 3 today. On VIDEO. [If you haven’t seen ’em yet, check out round 1 and round 2 videos first]. Mostly because I think shopping at Trader Joe’s is both a hobby AND game. And that I happen to be living inside my local one these days with all this crazy cookbook cooking, so […]

Truth: every homemade ice cream recipe I’ve ever seen gets me so excited. Don’t be shocked. Ice cream is a simple food. It has 5 ingredients max, when made well. And is one of the best parts about summer. I’m into it. Until I read the recipe. And pout. “Combine all ingredients in your ice […]

Saying the word “snack” makes people’s faces light up. Like they’ve won something awesome. A free coffee, maybe. Or car. Have you every noticed? Fact: Americans (we) love our snacks. Think that we need them. And to be real, most people do. Because when you eat food that isn’t real [otherwise known as processed food […]

Coffee drinking, as a topic. It goes like this. I like coffee. I’m not above it, health wise. I have it sometimes. When I need it. Or really want it. I think it can be a beautiful thing. Iced, only. With a little bit of coconut water, thank you very much. But only the organic […]

I know you just want this recipe. To scroll to the bottom so you can make it tonight. I don’t blame you. I’d probably do the same. But the reason why I made it might fascinate you. So. Lately, I’ve been prepping for busy season, and taking on the biggest project and challenge that I’ve […]

It had to have been November. Right after I shot the videos for my Favorite Picks at Trader Joe’s [see round 1 + round 2 here]. You guys liked it. Asked for more. So, I shot another video around the same time, showing my favorite picks at Whole Foods + my favorite local spot, PCC […]

Is there anyone else out there that hates the thought of fruit IN their salad? Separately, they are both great. But together, a total turn off? Like a bad couple. That always gets back together again. Seriously though. I’m no picky eater, but if I’m eating vegetables, I just don’t want it to be sweet. […]

Sitting here sipping my green tea this morning, I’m having a little moment. Tomorrow is a big day for me, although I feel shy to talk about it. Tomorrow marks the day that I started this little business of mine, 2 years ago. April 11th. The day that I became an entrepreneur. A one-woman show. […]

The goal: to feel better, eat healthier, simplify + streamline the shopping and cooking process so you can free up your life. In other words…. The Spring Meal Plan is here!! Hooray hooray! It’s the best day. Why? Well, how does this sound: Go to the store 1x/week. Cook 3 hours [or less] per week. […]
