I first started writing down my morning routine to share more than 3 years ago — and I’m so grateful I did. It’s been sweet to look back and see how things shifted from the start of 2020 to the quarantine days with one kiddo to last summer, adjusting to being a mama of two.  […]

Lately, it seems like every time I check my inbox or Instagram messages, I spot a question about our family breakfast routine. People say, “Your mornings look so relaxed!” or, “Your breakfasts look so easy!” Honestly, that’s because they are! We’ve finally cracked the code to enjoying the morning meal. Don’t get me wrong: with […]

1 1/2 cups diced strawberries (fresh is great, or frozen and defrosted (and drained first). Set aside 3-4 strawberries to slice for garnishes on top if you want) 2 1/2 cups rolled oats 1 cup whole milk greek yogurt (or coconut milk yogurt) (I used the Fage brand) 2 eggs 1/2 cup brown sugar (plus […]

As you guys know, having little mini rituals in my day is a huge part of my life (and how I stay sane as I switch between mama mode to ceo mode to creative mode to solo/ myself mode, back into mama mode, and then wife/partner mode every single day). From my morning matcha to […]

Weekend rituals right now include: walks, sunshine, simple self-care, reading, cooking. Oh, so much cooking– Ok, I do love that.  Anyone else? Every weekend (quarantine or not), I usually make us a little healthy treat– it’s so soothing and relaxing for me to use my hands to create something out of nothing, without time pressure. […]

Let’s talk BREAKFAST, on the go, the easy way.. ya know, when it’s maybe a little too cold for your green smoothie. Because if you’re someone that gets hungry in the morning, having stuff ready to go is key. If you’re new around here you know this morning hunger thing is something I like to […]

Let’s talk brunch. A usually boozy, sugar or processed-grain filled fest, brunch is something that always sounds so fun and festive, but can often leave us feeling bloated, too full, and in need of a nap all before 1pm on our treasured little weekend days. So what about upgrading some it? To keep all the […]

also known as: husband-waffles. I think I was about 24 years old before I realized that not all waffles started with the blue boxed mix from Costco. Paired with Aunt Jemima’s. I mean, don’t get me wrong, like every 7 year old, I knew Eggo’s well. I think daily, for most of my childhood. Waffles were […]

Can we all just agree that Mondays are for SIMPLE?  And for proving that you always have SOMETHING to make in that pantry of yours, even though there’s “nothing” to eat. I had the same thought this morning. Running around, trying to make my weird morning bevvie while trying to tie up my nikes over […]

If you’ve been around long enough, you know I hate breakfast. Personally. Like, I don’t eat it. Oh my god, the horror- right? Isn’t that the anti of what you’re supposed to do to be healthy? Well, so “they” say. But, guess what? I don’t really care what they say. Because if I’m being totally […]

I’m not sure why- but for some reason, I’ve never thought to roast fruit. Grill it? Yes. Roast? Veggies only, duh. Except, now I know how much I’ve been missing. Roasted apples are—stop it. Too good. What?! Who knew. A little kitchen experimento, gone right this week. Too right, because now I can’t stop putting […]

Fall treats. Gluten-free and all healthy, although you’d never know it. Because that’s how we roll, baby. Side tip- eat the apple skins, or toss with lemon juice to add to your next salad like little croutons. And store these babies in the fridge if you have any leftovers.  Gluten-Free Apple Pie Bars Makes 9 […]
