also known as: husband-waffles. I think I was about 24 years old before I realized that not all waffles started with the blue boxed mix from Costco. Paired with Aunt Jemima’s. I mean, don’t get me wrong, like every 7 year old, I knew Eggo’s well. I think daily, for most of my childhood. Waffles were […]

Most of the time, I don’t waste my time with baking. It’s the free spirit 4 year old that lives inside of me. Measuring is for babies.  Paired with my inability to resist, um…”upgrading” the ingredients…. and well. You can imagine what sort of treats come out of this kitchen on the reg. It’s mostly […]

Can we all just agree that Mondays are for SIMPLE?  And for proving that you always have SOMETHING to make in that pantry of yours, even though there’s “nothing” to eat. I had the same thought this morning. Running around, trying to make my weird morning bevvie while trying to tie up my nikes over […]

This week, I did a quick little video snap on the amazing healing powers of golden milk paste/turmeric lattes over on instagram stories this week.  I was 100% sure I’d lose some of you. OMG. What the ____ is she making over there now?  Welp. I was wrong. The messages came in hot and heavy all week, asking […]

I have to admit. When I cook a little homemade dinner, even after a crazy day, I feel like I’m winning at life. It’s like this soothing little routine that says- you got this mamma. It’s like wrapping yourself (and anyone lucky enough to be around you) up in this magical cozy goodness that promises […]

I like to call it magic. A cup of morning coffee or tea that doesn’t give you jitters, doesn’t make you hungrier, gain weight, crave sugar, and doesn’t crash you down later in the day. Also, it tastes like heaven. But is totally and completely a superfood.  So, after weeks of posting my little daily cups […]

If you’ve been around long enough, you know I hate breakfast. Personally. Like, I don’t eat it. Oh my god, the horror- right? Isn’t that the anti of what you’re supposed to do to be healthy? Well, so “they” say. But, guess what? I don’t really care what they say. Because if I’m being totally […]

Last weekend, when I was down in Santa Barbara for a conference, I was reminded of two things: My love of grilled fish tacos (which happened daily), and how deeply satisfying acai bowls are. (Which, you know, are basically the same thing as my recipe for green smoothie bowls, but plus frozen or acai powder, with […]

  Mmmm k. It’s time. After finding at least 15 matcha pics on my phone from the last 6 months, I have to tell you guys more about my newest obsession. So, as most of you know, I’ve always been a big time green tea drinker. Daily. But also, a sporadic coffee drinker, on trips […]
