This is Part 1 of a full series this month, taking you behind-the-scenes of building and creating a business & doing what you love: the ups, the downs, the tears & the real real. Yes, I tell this story every year, because every year there is more to share and tell and show you, especially […]

Note: Welp. After spending a few weeks on this post, I was putting the finishing touches on it on a Monday night, when my contractions started coming on strong. I ended up going into labor, tapping here on this little keyboard, trying to frantically get this post done before he came. But the little guy […]

Earlier this week on instagram, I took you guys behind-the-scenes on a typical grocery store haul: on what I buy, why I buy it, and what I usually do with it, to make easy healthy meals without spending more than 15-20 minutes cooking each night.

So, it’s Summer. Ahh. YES. The season of BBQ’s, patio nights under the string lights, boating, traveling, camping, sunsets, grilling, concerts and hanging with friends and family until the sun slowly sets late at night. And food, duh. The best, freshest food of all. Because it’s the season of freedom and ease. At least I think […]

Call me a celebration junkie. Any excuse to stop and savor life’s fleeting and beautiful moments, I’m in. To create them from scratch (but without a whole lot of hassle and prep)? Even better. So, as I round the corner into the final month and wedding countdown (!!) and this cute season of celebration, it […]

Because the season of love is almost here. And eating (and feeding) the people you love well, is love. Of the best kind. And when I say “well”, I mean good. As in good food. Taste wise, but also for your body. Like a healthy version of foodie food. Where you get to keep all […]

So last week, I got a call that I’d never refuse. That Molly Moon’s ice cream needed a little winter recipe fun for their new take-home pints. And, would I be interested? I mean, come on. When life gives you beautiful, artisanal ice cream, you take it. Especially when it’s pumpkin clove season. So today, my […]
