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 […]

The secret for a more effortlessly healthy and #antidiet life? Even though I knoooow, it’s so tempting this time of year to do an elimination diet or set plan to get “back on track”. But, I have another idea: 1. Infuse with more good. Meaning do and eat more of the things that you KNOW make you […]

Drench me in allllll the goodness please / -my cells.  I admitted my worst fears over on instagram this week: getting sick for the first time in over 10 years. My ego didn’t like it. For crying out loud body, don’t you know that this is what I do?! I’m walking, talking proof that if […]

All the fun of the cookie, minus the sugar crash. Because why choose between the two if you don’t have to?! Equal parts sweet & spice, these cuties are only everything nice this time of year. Like tiny little fridge weapons, ready for you whenever those “other” cookies/cakes/all the holiday things and cravings call. Happy bites, […]

Sunday bowls to fill our souls is a thing around here. And maybe more importantly, dinner is totally done for the next 2 nights so I can get back to the big stuff in life.  Tonight on tap: a little Ella Fitzgerald on the speakers, @lecole41 red wine in our glasses, this new roasted poblano chicken tortilla […]

Mashed potatoes, made healthy? You’ll believe it when you taste these. Did you know that olive oil can easily replace the heavier cream, butter and flour found in most classic recipes? And…wait for it: still taste just as good? No sacrifices here. I mean, don’t get me wrong, some good quality grass-fed butter and cream […]

That’s right! The cutie The Simply Real Health Cookbook is now officially available at Nordstrom! (Yup, cue all the squeals). The books are on Nordstrom online (check it out here) and on shelves in the home department at the following locations: downtown Seattle, Bellevue Square, Northgate and Southcenter. Do you think we can make them sell […]

I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar. To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing some outdoors, at all hours of […]

So, you probably already know this if you follow my instagram stories, or instagram, or blog.. or actually anything I do. Ha. But I love Trader Joe’s. It’s kinda like a secret little guilty pleasure. The fancy lady/serious foodie in me knows that of course, I should only shop at sustainable, local places all the […]

WELP….THE SECRET IS FINALLY OUT. Last week, exactly 3 days after moving into our new house, still in the midst of a new kitchen remodel, holes in the wall and amidst all the crazy, I let you guys in on my quiet secret that’s been in the works for a little while now, on instagram:  […]

Oh, taking a quick little sun break from my incessant instagram stories (thank you for loving me anyways) while in Portugal today, to share with you guys one of my ALL TIME  favorite summer recipes from Cookbook. I wouldn’t interrupt my beach vacay, for just any recipe, so pay real close attention. This one is the […]

The bevvie lady is coming in hot again. Summer style, today. A few weeks ago, I was chatting with one my friends about how neither one of us will ever do a juice cleanse again, in our lives. We died laughing. Nooooope. It’s the worst. It’s so intense and extreme. And you don’t really feel […]
