This time of year is the best time to make soups. I could eat them every single day, but sadly Michael doesn’t share my same love affair with soups. We only make them about every other week. I love that you can pack them full of veggies! Also, they make the best leftovers for a quick lunch during the week....

Feel like it has been a while since I posted a menu plan. We have been enjoying eating mostly Whole 30 meals for a few weeks and while we have menu planned- we have also had some delicious, spontaneous meals. I love to menu plan because our kitchen gets stocked up with wonderful produce and items we can play around...

Good morning, and happy Sunday! What a spring break week- Legoland was a total success and my sister and her husband were able to come and stay with us for the latter part of the week. It was pure joy! Lots of laughter, wonderful meals and lingering nights sipping wine with my sister. Soul food is the best way to...

This crust has become a craving that won’t quit. It is the perfect blend of flavors and has one of my all-time favorite functional foods: TURMERIC! I love this vibrant yellow, anti-inflammatory spice. The flavors in this dish are out of this world. This is a one-pan lunch or dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. Nothing beats that!...

By now I am sure you all have realized I have a love of turning some of my favorite desserts and treats into superfood smoothies. It is so much fun to create a healthified version of the sweets I ate growing up- no deprivation! When I was little we would travel from Atlanta to Pittsburgh in a day- all 5...

You all know that I adore smoothies- they are a pillar of my daily nutrition and an easy way to get the nutrients I need while I am on the run. And as a mom, I am pretty much always on the run! Green smoothies are hands-down the easiest way to sneak in some greens. I have been honing my...

Its that time of year, again! The Girl Scout’s are out and selling their deliciously addictive cookies! One thing that I LOVE to do as a health coach is take classic recipe favorites and put a healthy spin on them. I have been a part of so many conversations lately that center around Tagalongs, Samoas & Thin Mints- and how...

I have been on a Whole30 recipe writing kick lately! There are so many men and women taking part in these 30 days right now- and I wanted to make sure that I got these posted ASAP so that if you wanted to make them you could. This soup is full of my favorite vegetables and bright lemon. I love...

We are back on the Whole30 over at our house and it has been so much wonderful writing new recipes to make this 30 days delicious & fun. This week I was craving Scampi and created a meal that knocked our socks off! I can’t wait to share it with you. It is perfect if you are on the Whole30,...
