It is fun when you can take seasonal eats- like sweet potatoes- and add them into your smoothies! For this recipe, I used purple sweet potatoes because I love their dense texture and vibrant, violet hue. When I found these in the market I had these visions of creating a smoothie with cinnamon and blueberries to compliment both the color...

Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope that this post is arriving to you on a restful and relaxing Sunday. We have planned a beautiful  menu this week from Laura Lea Goldberg’s Balanced Cookbook These recipes were created for a home cook- meaning, the ingredients are not fussy and the process is an easy flow to follow. It is beautifully written...

So, last night we had a moment. One of those, is this meal for real moments. I love PaleOMG for recipe inspiration. When I pull recipes for client’s, her creations are usually in the mix. The ingredient list is always clean, anti-inflammatory and paleo. Best part, the flavors are always spot on. I have been dying to try her Slow...

Good morning and happy Sunday! This week’s menu is planned out and we have a theme: SALADS! It has to be this sunny weather, but I am craving big, beautiful dinner salads. Sometimes having a theme makes finding recipes easy, and this week that holds true. I couldn’t be happier with the meals we have planned for this week and...

I get asked a lot about snacks- we live in a world where we are all constantly moving from one thing to the next. Portable food is a part of all of our lives. It can be hard to make the right choices sometimes. A mom recently asked me to share my favorite snacks for kids and I knew this...

Coffee has come a long way in our house. I have talked before about how early Michael and I wake up each day- our alarm goes off at 3:50 AM. I savor that time with him each day. We sip our coffee, watch the news (yes, there is news on that early 😉 ) and catch up with each other....

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is a day to celebrate the one’s that we love. It has been so much fun watching the kids sign their cards and get ready to spread some love in school today. Before Michael and I had Evan and Edie, we would go out to dinner in Boston or Charlotte. Get all dressed up, sip champagne....

I love creating salads in the summer. We live in the water and outside during the summer months and many nights don’t feel like heating up the kitchen at the stove or with the oven. Making this salad in the morning and then not having to do a thing for dinner is just the BEST! This salad is a meal...

Good morning! It has been a bit since I last did a post. I suppose between the end of the school year, house build ramp up, business growth and enjoying some time with our family I hit the pause button on the blog. I am going to make it a goal to post more recipes, more tips and more about...

This recipe is wonderful for so many reasons- it is easy, delicious, hides veggies for little eaters and is fabulous hot or cold. You can serve this as a main course or side dish and it feeds a crowd! I have been playing with grains a lot lately and keep on coming back to Farro. Farro boasts a nutty flavor...
