Meal prepping can seem exceptionally overwhelming. However, the more I do it the more I can see how it’s similar to the 20 Minute Solution. It takes a small amount of prep time, and focus, and pays off in hours saved during the week. My goals for Sunday vary from just granola and hard boiled eggs,…

Bright Pink Valentine! Banana Beet Collagen Smoothie <3
Valentines come with a big dose of heavy duty sweets, rich meals, and often a bit too much champagne. This smoothie is a lighter, kid friendly tidbit to toss into your week to keep on celebrating but feel fresh and bright at the same time. I just had this for a morning snack and it…
Love Chocolate Bark, Two Ways!
Tomorrow is Valentines Day! In typical fashion… I’ve got nothing planned. Today we’re cutting some hearts out of paper we already have and writing classmates’ names off a list I found online. So, you know, I’ve got it together! In case you are as behind as I chronically am… This dessert is a favorite of…
Sweet Crunch Granola
This granola is full of all my favorite things. Clusters, nuts, small pieces (I don’t like to have to crunch through a huge piece of… anything!) and dates.

Paleo Pumpkin Spice
There are hundreds of homemade pumpkin spice syrups out there, but I’ll be totally unbiased and let you know that this one is the best, and isn’t loaded with weird ingredients or corn syrup. The ingredients are simple, and you likely have them on hand, and it tastes like real pumpkin. It’s sweet enough to…
Life After Whole30
On day 20 of my most recent (last week) whole30 I felt a punch to the gut as I realized, I’m doing this for all the wrong reasons. How long have I been doing this for the wrong reason? I was listening to a snap(chat) story from Melissa Hartwig (Whole30 creator) where she addressed the…
So, you failed after your whole30.
(these thighs brought to you by equal parts coconut oil/sweet potatos/theo bars/beans) I was talking last night to a few friends who are also on the whole foods/paleo/what makes your body tick lifestyle with me, and the word “failure” kept coming up. And we realized… how we define failure really needs to shift, and I…
