I call it a tweener. The [not awkward] time between summer and fall. If only my own growing up years had been as easy. And seamless. And nice to look at. Where one thing easily flows to the next. Like when peaches and tomatoes are ripe and sweet and falling off of the vines, the […]

 So… is anyone else feeling the need for a little jumpstart after this amazing summer we’ve been having? I’m so in. Anyone wanna join me? I posted something about it this morning on the Simply Real Health Facebook page, and it seems like everyone is in the same boat. And while a detox or cleanse […]

I get so many curious questions from people about the Evolution Fresh 3 Day Juice Ritual I test-drove last September [Read the two part series here and here], and my general thoughts on cleansing + detoxing in general. It’s such a hot topic these days, and dare I say, almost borderline trendy. Not shocking, considering […]

Truth be told. I did this amazingly fun event at Taste of Tacoma on June 30th, and just now have had a moment to sit down and post the pics + recipes. Holy moly, you guys are keeping me busy this summer! I’ll take it. You know I love it more than anything. So, a […]

Some of you may have seen my post earlier this week about my jicama purchase. I l-o-v-e it. The cold, crunchy, sweetness is so good to me this time of year.What is it? It’s a veggie like celery but without the bitter bite at the end. Like watermelon but without the intense sweetness. It’s most […]

Dressing. Let’s get real, ok? Dressing a funny thing. We buy it. To save time. And to make eating salads taste better. I get it, I really do. But, hello chemicals and crap. And creepy sounding oil. With looooong expiration dates. In other news, did you know it takes maybe 30 seconds to make your own […]

If you’re a fan of fast + good, {Ok, who isn’t?} I’ve got a great one for you today. Introducing the cucumber boat. The newest addition to the Simply Real Health Food Files. A little bit crunchy, creamy, (sea) salty and filling, AKA, the perfect snack. The fact that’s it’s good for you is just […]

Want to cure your holiday hangover and get back to good already? The best advice I can give you is this: Eat dark leafy greens. Every day this week. Spinach, collard greens, arugula, chard, or the most trendy and healthy of them all– kale. Now, I know that a raw kale salad doesn’t sound appealing […]

Tomatoes for dinner. Tis the season, as they say. Why not? So maybe I’m not over my European style of eating just yet. I’m gonna roll with it. None of you have complained yet. You don’t need a recipe for this one, and you can adjust it however you’d like or keep it as pictured: […]

Let’s get right down to it today. Why this recipe is Sarah-approved & so very awesome? Let me count the ways: Seasonal– romaine lettuce & tomatoes are at peak season right now. That means great taste and cheaper prices too! Inexpensive- using good quality chicken as a topping instead of the main part of the […]
