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 […]

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.

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 […]

It’s been a long week. A hard one, for my whole family. Early this week, we all lost my dear, sweet 26 year old cousin. Who kind of just lit up the world with his big smile and  easy, laid-back +  happy nature. And amazingly fierce love of his family. Which is no small feat. […]

So, a few weeks ago I made lunch and spoke to 50 people, food workshop style. Not just lunch, actually. But a full day in the life of real food. Breakfast to lunch to dinner to snacks. Let me be clear. I’m not bragging. I’m admitting to you how crazy I am. But, so it […]

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.
