Happy Eating and Healthy Living
Summertime and the livin’ is easy. Can I get an AMEN?! Mine has been full of t-ball games (Aunt life = best life), long walks in the sunshine with the hubs and pup, and these 2 ingredient cherry cashew bites. The sweet taste of cherries is my fave. And here in Michigan, where I live,…
Some days just call for cookie dough, ya’ feel me? And while I’ve been known to dive into a package of store bought, break apart stuff without guilt- chocolate chip or sugar are my FAVE!- most days I prefer to snack on something a little more nourishing. The solution? These easy cookie dough bites! These…
I feel like lunch gets treated like the awkward middle child. I mean, breakfast is always touted as the most important meal of the day and dinner is usually the most elaborate. And then… there’s lunch. But no more! No longer will lunch take a backseat. The mid-day meal deserved some spot light too. After…
There have been three times in my life that I have run 15.5 miles. Each time I ran those miles, in the 25k Riverbank Run, it was a vastly different experience…and only one was enjoyable. The first time I ran them I was obsessed. The second time I ran them I was stressed. An the…
In this blog post I’m going to share with you how to manifest food freedom and create the relationship with food you want! When I say the word “manifestation” what do you think of? Do you think it’s bogus? Do you think it’s right there in line with fairies and pixie dust? To be honest,…

It’s 8:30pm. You’ve had dinner and now you’re sitting on the couch, scrolling mindlessly through the ‘gram and waiting for the next episode of This is Us to come on at 9pm. The next thing you know you find yourself in the kitchen grabbing a handful of those oh-so delicious chocolate covered cashews. Then another….
Ya know those PF Chang’s Chicken lettuce wraps? The ones with copy-cat recipes all over Pinterest? Yeah, you know what I’m talking about! To be honest, I’ve made some of those recipes a few times and I wasn’t in love. There was just something missing. A little za-za-zoom, a little something extra. Well, I can…
If you could only pick one baked good to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? TOUGH question, I know! Firstly, I hope I’m never actually forced to make this decision, BUT, if I had to, I think muffins would be a top contender. I mean, the possibilities for muffins are…
Let’s be honest, holiday candy is the best candy. Fun shapes and vibrant colors totally make them taste even more delicious. Come on, I know I am not the only one who feels this way!! Easter candy has got to be one of my favorites when it comes to holiday candy. I think it’s seeing…
To me, pancakes just elicit happiness. Don’t you agree? I mean, when I think of pancakes I think of slow Sunday mornings with me in my big ol’ red plaid robe and Minnetonka slippers. Don’t let that imagery fool you, I’ve got on probably at least two sweatshirts and my purple, paint stained sweatpants. Sexy,…
Some days you just need a big salad. Ya’ feel me? Some fresh, green goodness packed with flavor and a nice crunch. But, as good as that sounds, it also kinda sounds like a lot of work, right? Wrong. I’ve got a salad for you that checks all of the boxes and takes all of…
Please tell me that I am not the only one who bakes cookies solely so that they can eat some of the dough…. No? I’m not? Good! Didn’t think so! I mean, I get it, raw eggs and salmonella. Probably not the best thing to be ingesting in large quantities. But it’s too darn good…
