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 […]

  1. Drink 16 oz of water when you get up. Yes, BEFORE your coffee or tea. And don’t chug it all at once either. Make your bottle of water your little buddy during your morning routine, whatever it entails. Then drink another 30 oz in between breakfast and lunch. At your own pace. Just get […]

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 […]

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. That always gets back together again. Seriously though. I’m no picky eater, but if I’m eating vegetables, I just don’t want it to be sweet. […]

I know it sounds weird. This is not a guacamole dessert. I promise. But just like avocados that get blended into green smoothies, you can’t really taste it. Blended avocado often just makes recipes a bit more creamy + decadent. Healthy too. And satisfying because of it’s great healthy fat content. But without any guilt, […]

Special breakfasts and brunches in are a rarity around here. I’m much more of a dinner girl myself. Snow days, holidays, or winter weekends away might be the only exception. And, tis the season. A cozy little slow roll into the day, sipping coffee and great tea and just being with each other. The sweet […]

Tiny things are always better. They’re fascinating. And special. You may more attention to them. Which is good when we’re talking about eating cookies. Mindfulness is actually always a good thing when talking about what you’re eating. But even more so with desserts [and wine, and flour based stuff]. And even more so this time […]
