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 […]

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 […]

It’s gonna be a bold statement, but I’m gonna make it anyways: the answer to everything, is this salad. It’s not even an exaggeration. Have a busy week ahead? Make this salad. Not sure what to make? Make this salad. Have a party to take a dish to? Take this salad. Trying to feed some […]

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 […]

So, yesterday as I was getting ready to power up and get ready for a major camp out sesh at my desk for the day (werk, werk, werk, werk), I did what I’ve been obsessed with this summer- starting it all out with a iced matcha almond milk latte. If you follow me on Instagram or […]

Just in case your instagram feed needs some more strawberries. Or rhubarb. Or, ways to make them healthier than the classic version (PIE). Take this as a sign. Because both of these babies have the tiniest, shortest season when they’re fresh and perfect. Don’t get rhubarb FOMO. This is your warning. You all know it’s […]

Just a little note to tell you that you need this banana bread in your life. For this weekend’s brunch, let’s say.  It’s one of my very favorites from the cookbook. And, this past Sunday as I was stirring away getting ready for a little friends brunch we were hosting, I was caught off-guard for a […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s been a long week. A hard one, for my whole family. Early this week, we all lost my dear, sweet 26 year old cousin. Who kind of just lit up the world with his big smile and  easy, laid-back +  happy nature. And amazingly fierce love of his family. Which is no small feat. […]
