Just a little note to tell you that you need this banana bread in your life. For this weekend’s brunch, let’s say.  It’s one of my very favorites from the cookbook. And, this past Sunday as I was stirring away getting ready for a little friends brunch we were hosting, I was caught off-guard for a […]

For those days when all you want is coffee, but all you need is more steady energy. Coffee, but minus the crash, sugar cravings, and bad sleep at night that usually follows. So you can dominate your day. And feel like Beyonce while doing it. Or close, at least.   Amiright? Watch the video here and learn […]

I made you this cake. Gluten-free carrot zucchini cake, to be exact. It’s pretty much like eating vegetables for breakfast, so listen up. But first a story. So, yesterday I was making this cake, and I started thinking about what a difference taking actual action has had in my life. Side note: this always seems to […]

You all know I love my green smoothies (especially for lunch), but sometimes a girl just wants to eat her lunch with a spoon. And chew. And crunch around a little bit. But still get that same oooo-weeeee baby! powered up and ready to go feeling that only green smoothies can do. And lately, I just […]

With the best intentions to […]

You know how you used to eat a pack of graham crackers after school? Like literally– the whole pack. Dunked in milk with lightening speed on those little chubby fingers. Remember? You had to be on your A game. One second too long, and you got that big gross mushy glass of milk at the end. Crackers, […]

No doubt about it. I get asked a lot of questions about food. And lifestyle. And how to eat well but also enjoy life too. And I love it. Because I know it’s not a easy thing to pick up, especially when we’ve been taught to think about food and eating so wrong differently, and for […]

OK, LET’S TALK SNACKS. It’s a topic that comes in almost weekly on my  instagram Q + A sessions…. and one that HI, as a new mama over here this past year, have a whooooole new level of respect for. Snacks. The good kind. The ones that actually help you bridge the gap between meals […]

Brunch. Everyone’s excuse to get down to a dirty meal, early in the day. Maybe people love it so much because it almost feels rebellious. A little extravagant. Because at any other point in the week, it would be against the rules to eat like that. But answer me this, brunch peeps: how do you […]

I have strong feelings about this. A little warning before you read. Contrary to what you might think, I think there is a right and a not-so-helpful way to eat your veggies. Which is obnoxious, I realize, because eating veggies at all is a good thing, and something I would/should always encourage. And I do, mostly. […]

I used to think I’d never be that kind of person who makes my own nut milk. Have you ever watched those videos or seen those recipes? It’s like a 2 day, 6 step process. With nut milk bags. Which – forgive me for being judgy, “nut milk bags” just sounds weird, and I don’t […]
