Happy Eating and Healthy Living
I was over at my in-laws house a few weeks ago and Alice, my mother-in-law, was just in the kitchen whipping up some scones. Finding her in the kitchen isn’t unusual, she’s quite the cook/bakers/etc. What struck me was that she was making scones. Scones to me just feel so FANCY, ya know? I’ve always…
Breakfast is important. You’ve hear it a million times. Make that a million and one because I am about to tell you AGAIN! When we are asleep our bodies go into fasting mode. That’s literally why it is called “breakfast” you are actually breaking the fast. Have you ever thought about it that way? It’s…
I’ll admit, I am not a big V-day person. I’ve never really been super mushy and I’ve definitely never been called a “romantic”. My husband and I don’t go out for a special date night on the 14th or sip champagne staring into each other’s eyes. Oh, no. We are usually at home in bed…
Granola is my jam. I make a batch every single week as part of my “meal prep”. I put that in quotes because I don’t really meal prep, per say. At least not the way you’d think. I don’t make full out meals and put them into matching container to eat Monday through Friday. No,…
I go in waves with hummus. Sometimes I can’t get enough and sometimes I doesn’t appeal to me whatsoever. Right now, I’m in the can’t get enough phase and am pretty sure I have eaten this simple sriracha carrot hummus at every meal and snack so far today. No regrets. So, sriracha carrot hummus.. sounds…
You guys know I’m a sucker for anything sweet. But, that doesn’t always mean choosing a cupcake or cookie to satisfy me. Yes, eating intuitively gives you the freedom to choose those things if you truly want them, but eating intuitively also means choosing foods that allow you to feel you best. And, honestly? If…
I used to never eat rice. I thought carbs were basically the devil during my eating disorder. HOW SILLY!!! Carbs are our bodies preferred source of energy, our brains NEED carbs. So, basically by avoiding carbs I was sacrificing brain health. Sounds extreme, I know, but it’s true! Man am I one happy girl that…
Okay guys.. the moment is here. Today, I am sharing with you the recipe that I love most. The one that I constantly get asked about. The one that I make multiple times per week. The one that is SO. FREAKING. DELICIOUS. Are you ready for it?? 5 Minute Butternut Squash “Cheese” Sauce!!!! I know…
Listen up ladies! We’re about to get real intimate here. I’m pretty much an open book about my 6 year struggle with an eating disorder and today we’re going to talk about all things period- or, should I say, lack thereof. So, grab a cup of coffee (or evening tea!) and let’s dive right in…
What’s better than chocolate? Double chocolate. And what makes it better? Eating it for breakfast. Agreed? Good. Now get excited because I’m about to share my recipe for double chocolate buckwheat banana muffins!! And, guys? They’re to die for. When you spot a basically black banana sitting on the counter what do you think? A.)…
I’ve been eating buckeye balls, sugar cookies, and chocolate covered pretzels around the clock for the past week straight and, dare I say it… I need a break! I was craving some veggies and knew my body would appreciate some lean protein so I whipped up these aloha chicken veggie wraps with soy ginger dipping…
Two things I am loving right now: dark chocolate and candy cane. Okay, so the dark chocolate isn’t new or ground breaking, I love that stuff on the reg. BUT, the candy cane is totes seasonal and giving me all of the festive vibes. I always forget how great this combo is until the holiday…
Ever since summer came to an end and so did the surplus supply of zucchini, I’ve been on the cauli-oat train with no intent of getting off. Well, untill the zucchini come back and it’s time for zoats! (zucchini oats). So, what are cauli-oats? Cauli-oats are a mix of oatmeal and riced cauliflower. Before you…
