Everything you need for your healthiest + happiest summer yet. Aka, my favorite things as of late. La Croix Sparkling Water Sarah’s picks: the coconut or peach pear flavor. Stop it. This is the ultimate 3pm refreshing break. Serve extra cold over ice with a slice of citrus or berries. Or, in cocktails later in the […]

So, it’s Summer. Ahh. YES. The season of barbecues, boating, traveling, camping, sunsets, grilling, concerts and hanging with friends and family until the sun slowly sets late at night. And food. The best, freshest food of all. And the season of freedom and ease. So, if you are anything like me, the last thing you want to […]

I have a thing lately with beverages. I could blame it on the sweet summer sun streaming through my windows until 8 pm at night. Or, I could tell you the real reason. That, up until 3 years ago,  I used to feel self conscious posting or talking about loving a glass of wine with friends, […]

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 […]

Before we start, no, this isn’t another rant about gluten and how bad it is for you, or why you should stop eating it. But this one today, is close to my heart. If you’ve been around a while, you may have noticed that I don’t label Simply Real Health as gluten free blog or business, or […]

As we zoom in on the week of cookbook arrival, I’ve gotten a few questions from people on why I chose to do this project, and how exactly it worked to do it in under a year’s time. So, I thought it would be fun to take you all through my process, and share a little […]

WHAT: Party, party, party-time. WHO: You, silly. And anyone you want to bring. To celebrate like crazy. WHY: Because after a year in the making, The Simply Real Health Cookbook will be here March 20th to have and hold. Woop de woop woop! BRING: Yourself, your book (if you pre-ordered one, and no it’s not too […]

There are few things in this world that drive me more crazy than people’s (mis)conceptions around healthy food. That, we know. People have a million reasons  why they “can’t” eat healthy, and most of them boil down to these 3 categories: 1. They don’t have the time (or more likely, they don’t realize how much of their […]

So, we’re talking organic coffee here. Just to be clear. Because toxins are, in fact, gross. And the ones in coffee can be pretty strong. So, step number one: get yourself some organic brew beans. Good job. I’m already proud of you. Like I mentioned in this week’s earlier post (how to get yourself back on track […]

We all need it, from time to time. It’s funny because I used to feel bad, when I had days when I  didn’t feel that great (yes, from drinking too much wine, eating dessert too late the night before, eating stuff I know my body doesn’t process that well- even if it’s all real food based). […]
