Two years ago today, my first post went live.

Time has been flying by, and I am so thankful that I started this site. I’ve met so many wonderful new people, expanded my culinary and health knowledge, improved my photography skills (which still aren’t that great yet), learned a bit about website [...]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters! Today I’d like to dedicate this post to my Grandma, who passed away 2 1/2 years ago. While you read this I will be in Minnesota, at the funeral of my Grandmother’s sister who recently passed. Without further ado, I [...]

I’ve been very excited about this recipe. A grain-free, sugar-free, paleo muffin bursting with lemon flavor and only 50 calories a pop? Yes please. I’ll take four.

I created this recipe to test out NuNatural‘s new Lemon stevia, which I am now in love with (for my [...]

Don’t you hate it when people leave you hanging?

I know just how it feels. Like when I gave you a Preserved Lemon Recipe, and then didn’t give you this Chicken recipe to go with it?

I promise I wasn’t in a bad mood! I didn’t think, [...]

When I was around 10 years old, my family belonged to a club that had the most delicious Mother’s Day and Thanksgiving brunches. There were huge lines of spiral ham, veggies, and a dessert. What I remember most, though (beside the chocolate lava cake that was divine!), was [...]

I’ve never been much of a runner.

I remember P.E. class in first grade, and it was time to do “physical testing.” Ugh. I was good at sit and reach (touch your toes), but not the dreaded 1-mile run. It was the first time I had ever run a mile. My time? 16 minutes.

Do you ever get in a salad slump? Bored with your current go-to dressing, or bored of your go-to veggies?

This happens to me every once in a while. Instead of grabbing a piece of Baker’s chocolate and calling it a day, I flipped through a random cookbook and saw a Berry [...]

Ever found a tasty looking recipe, but the ingredients are all listed in ounces and grams?

Yes! This has happened to me before, and I was always disappointed because I had no way to measure the ingredients. With this 5-pound digital scale, though, I am now able to make those recipes! If [...]
