Life has been so full lately- full of fun, parenting, cooking, working and building our home. I find that when I am at my busiest I gravitate towards the foods, snacks, recipes, workouts and gadgets that are tried and true and I know work in my favor. With that said, I wanted to share a few of my favorite things-...

These delicious peppers were a joy to create and a delight to eat! I have talked before about how I eat seasonally- when it is hot outside I crave salads and grilled fish and when it is cold outside I want baked casseroles, soup and chili. This recipe, however, is great for both! These peppers are full of bright summer...

Here we go! Round 2 of my remake of Girl Scout Cookies into Superfood Smoothies- THIN MINT! These were always my favorite, and I would eat them frozen. So good. This smoothie is perfect because it has the same flavors and is nice and chilly just like the way that I used to enjoy my Girl Scout cookies. But, again,...

Travel is a part of everyone’s life- some get to travel for fun, some for work and some a bit of both. No matter what- traveling throws people off schedule and out of their routine. Going into a fun trip with a vacation mentality is great! You want to enjoy the trip, make memories and soak up all the fun....

This could be the most excited I have been to share a recipe with you all. Being on the Whole30 has had its highs and lows- this recipe has been one of the highest highs! I loved creating this amazing, nutrient dense, superfood smoothie. This can be served in a glass or a bowl- and you can vary the desired...

Hot off the presses! I wanted to share a versatile Whole30 Chili recipe with you- it will make the vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters all happy! You customize this based on your family’s likes- there is nothing better than that! I have talked before about how I am a seasonal eater- and the temps in Florida have dropped. When it...

Happy 2016! Another year has come to a close and here we are beginning a brand new chapter. I love the feeling of a new year- you get to set goals, intentions and thoughts on what you want the next 365 days to look like. How many of you set New Years Resolutions? Are they different or pretty much the...

I am in the middle of a love affair with Matcha. I have been enjoying homemade Matcha Smoothies and Matcha Lattes- and am hooked! Matcha is a powdered green tea- harvested by hand in Japan. It is the only form of tea in which the whole leaf is consumed and is high in dietary fiber, yet practically calorie free. There...

I love soup, slow cooking and seasonal eating. I am a sucker for warming soups and stews, spicy casseroles and anything that makes me feel like its winter time. We live in Florida and yesterday it was 82 outside- not exactly Christmas weather- but in my kitchen it is all about the dishes that remind me of our cold winters...

When I first heard of kale I thought that it was a “trendy” food. You know, the one you hear about non-stop for about 6 months and then the new, cooler, healthier food comes to light and kale is all but forgotten. I was so wrong! Kale is a dark, leafy green that comes in a few different varieties- Curly,...
