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...

Good morning! What a fun morning and afternoon I had yesterday celebrating the Jacksonville Beach location of Native Sun’s 1 year anniversary. I had the honor of partnering with them to create, demo and share a smoothie that was both seasonal and packed a superfood punch. The recipe reminds me of apple picking, leaves changing color and the delicious smell...

We are moving into our new house in 11 days and in an effort to lighten our load I am using everything we’ve got in the refrigerator and freezer that I can. When I woke up Saturday I found a leftover baked sweet potato and decided to create a smoothie using it as the star ingredient. I love sweet potatoes-...

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...

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...

I am a seasonal eater- during the fall months I crave all things soups, stews, chili and pumpkin. Even living in Florida when right now the weather is still in the 80’s I am craving warming foods.  On Sunday I decided to try my hand at creating a slow cooker chili and my goodness am I glad I did! I...
