So, we’re talking organic coffee here. Just to be clear. Because toxins are, in fact, gross. And the ones in coffee can be pretty strong. So, step number one: get yourself some organic brew beans. Good job. I’m already proud of you. Like I mentioned in this week’s earlier post (how to get yourself back on track […]

We all need it, from time to time. It’s funny because I used to feel bad, when I had days when I  didn’t feel that great (yes, from drinking too much wine, eating dessert too late the night before, eating stuff I know my body doesn’t process that well- even if it’s all real food based). […]

  True confession: in all the years past, Mondays were always my day to start my post weekend cleanse. Usually something extreme, like not eating dairy and grains and sugar and alcohol and meat or juicing straight until I felt a little like gumby. Something- if I’m being totally honest with you- that would make […]

This is for real: don’t read this post unless you’re fine with a new addiction. Because, these. These grain-free, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy free treats are my favorite things to keep around as of late. And, with so much good stuff in them (coconut oil, walnuts, chia seeds and nut butter for great healthy fats and […]

One of the things that I love to tell people (for shock value alone sometimes), is to eat more butter. You know, the good quality, grass fed stuff. And use it on veggies instead of only reserving it for things that taste like nothing and give you nothing (sorry, pasta). If you use butter on your […]

Just a little quickie today. I’m in charge of apps for dinner club tonight, and short on time (yo, what else is new). Nitrate-free Prosciutto Wrapped Apples. 10 minutes and done. To the rescue. Because, healthy food is real food. and real food is beautiful food. Simple as that. Don’t forget it. Happy Fall y’all. xoxo, S Prosciutto […]

Think you don’t like eggplant? I’m about to change your sweet little mind today with the BEST ratatouille. This rustic, classic Italian dish is P-E-R-F-E-C-T this time of year- not only is it transitional in how many ways you can serve + eat it, but every single ingredient is in season now. Meaning fresh, great […]

  Picture this. Your family. Eating healthy food. Your kids eating more vegetables and good protein… and loving every bite?! And you. You are less stressed (time wise AND mentally), have a printable plan of action to follow, tons of new ideas, and a renewed energy about cooking for your family? Oh, hello. Welcome to […]

Not at all sexy. But definately real (life) right now. This week has already been a crazy ride and it’s only Tuesday. I have nothing in my fridge, and no time for the store today. And, I’m hungry. So, this is lunch: canned garbanzo beans (rinsed) and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt […]

  click to watch this video post! Do I have kids? No. Not yet, at least. But I have worked with a lot. A lot. And their parents to revamp and re-educate around healthy food and what it actually is. And, probably more importantly, what’s for dinner (and breakfast and lunch and snack too). And how […]
