“My main concern was that I wouldn’t like any of the food. I was so, so wrong! It was all amazing, and so easy to make. And I am not a cook by any means!” “I have sung the praises of this meal plan to friends in Michigan, Cali, Texas, and more. I always say […]

Fall has this way of shimmering itself in. Softly. Lightly. And with a bit of sass, sometimes. Like your most fabulous friend, always a little late and disheveled, but everyone’s favorite to talk to. Fall is the season of back. Back to routines we know are good for us, back to a little more structure to […]

Today marks the day that I changed my mind about automatic citrus juicers being unromantic and cluttery. In case any of you are keeping tabs. Pretty much a minimalist in the kitchen (a vitamix instead of the typical trio of so-so blender + huge food processor + countertop juicer), I won’t buy or keep any […]

I have a weird theory about ice cream. I get it. It’s summertime. It’s cooling. Refreshing. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and sugary, and heavy (in the best way) and creamy. Which is why it can get kind of addicting. Even the coconut milk stuff (my personal fav). Because little else gives us all of that goodness in […]

A dessert that you never have to feel bad eating, is dessert after my own heart. One that happens to make you feel like a little kid again, and I’m done for. So, because it’s hot and it’s summer and I can’t stop sneaking little cold bites of these in the fridge and smiling, I […]

Just for the shrub of it. Shrubbing around. Shub time. I’ve been doing all of it lately. And here’s why you should be too. In case you’ve never heard of  this “shrub” stuff- let me let you in on a amazing secret for the most refreshing (and yes, even healthier) summer time drinks. Shrub is […]

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 […]

This past Sunday, I was asked to “do the food” for a photoshoot and dinner style event with some pretty amazing + crazy talented ladies [see their drool worthy work + instagram feeds at the bottom of this post, you won’t be sorry]. But, more about that project later. Because if you’re here, I know […]

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, […]

Today, I’m sharing one of my all time favorite healthy appetizers from the Simply Real Health Cookbook (pg. 273 for those of you that have your books!) I don’t know about you, but every time I go to a party, the apps are always bread or flour based. Because it’s easy, no doubt. A classic option. Or more […]

  If you see a Meyer lemon at the store this week, do yourself this favor. Grab it. Put that bad boy into your little cart. Take it home and make a working girl cocktail (meyer lemon juiced + sparkling water). A spring of sage or basil if you’re feeling a little fancy pantsy. Power […]
