If you’ve been around for a while, you know it: Living the  Simply Real Health LIFE is about so much more than food. It’s about creating a life that feels alive and vibrant. And meaningful, in the ways that matter to you. And most of all, simple. So that you feel a sense of ease […]

Imagine this wild scenario: you make something delicious, and life-giving (and easy) for dinner…. and everyone at your table ACTUALLY EATS IT, your kids included.  They might love it, even. Ask for it again. Or at least, eat it without a lot of complaints 🙂 Now, did I just name your 6pm fantasy land? Wait for it: this […]

Have you ever rushed into the kitchen after a busy day and wished you could somehow throw dinner together by snapping your fingers? Me too. And I do 🙂  It’s magic. Basically.

I have to admit. When I cook a little homemade dinner, even after a crazy day, I feel like I’m winning at life. It’s like this soothing little routine that says- you got this mamma. It’s like wrapping yourself (and anyone lucky enough to be around you) up in this magical cozy goodness that promises […]

The Summer Meal Plan: Oh hi. Have we met? My name is Sarah and before you get your cute self down the page, there are TWO THINGS you should know: 1. I am never willing to sacrifice good food for fast food, because I know (and so fiercely believe) that you can have both.  2. I am […]
