  See ya later gross vegetable and soybean oil and loads of white sugar. Unless of course, you LIKE having lots of inflammation in your body. If not, don’t worry my darling. There’s a much better way. It’s called eating real food. No matter what it is, or what you want to have. I think there […]

One of the things that I love to tell people (for shock value alone sometimes), is to eat more butter. You know, the good quality, grass fed stuff. And use it on veggies instead of only reserving it for things that taste like nothing and give you nothing (sorry, pasta). If you use butter on your […]

Last week on instagram, I snapped a quick little pic of my insane trail mix meal prep- making over 250 little bags of goodness for an upcoming healthy tailgate party and cooking demo (Thursday, and…. yes that’s a real thing) and a charity walk that weekend. With homemade caramel corn, nuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, golden […]

Just a little quickie today. I’m in charge of apps for dinner club tonight, and short on time (yo, what else is new). Nitrate-free Prosciutto Wrapped Apples. 10 minutes and done. To the rescue. Because, healthy food is real food. and real food is beautiful food. Simple as that. Don’t forget it. Happy Fall y’all. xoxo, S Prosciutto […]

Think you don’t like eggplant? I’m about to change your sweet little mind today with the BEST ratatouille. This rustic, classic Italian dish is P-E-R-F-E-C-T this time of year- not only is it transitional in how many ways you can serve + eat it, but every single ingredient is in season now. Meaning fresh, great […]

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 […]

Because I think mint is the most under-appreciated fresh herb. And with late summer mojitios or moscow mules happening, chances are, you’ll probably have some left over…or a garden full of it.  And a fridge that already has all of these other ingredients. So. Make this. And yes, this is a Simply Real Health Cookbook […]

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 […]

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 […]

Disclaimer: Chia seed pudding used to sketch me out. I’d see pictures it of floating around the internet and it would make me feel weird inside. Too sketchy. Too far out on the healthy scale, even for me. I mean, to be fair, I’ve never been a pudding girl, even growing up. It was a […]
