We live on a small ranch and have 3 laying hens, and those ladies take their jobs very seriously! So we have lots of eggs – at least 2 everyday – and I’m always looking for yummy ways to prepare them. As I dug through the fridge tonight, it looked like a Thanksgiving graveyard on […]
Paleo/primal diets are all the rage right now. I am NOT a diet person; I just don’t believe in them. I firmly believe that being healthy is a lifestyle, and if you diet only to lose a certain amount of weight, you’ll be yo-yo dieting your entire life (which, let’s face it, is no […]
I begin nearly every morning with a smoothie. They are an amazing way to shove a whole bunch of healthy into one meal! My go to smoothie is usually made with cacao, banana, sunbutter and almond milk, but today I decided to mix it up a bit and I love this blackberry smoothie so much, […]
We do breakfast for dinner a lot around here. That mostly consists of scrambled eggs, french toast and fruit. Which is a pretty balanced dinner, when you think about it. But truth be told, I usually only eat the French toast and fruit because…shhhh…I don’t like eggs. There, I said it. I do not […]
It’s Sunday, and that means it’s time for a brand new, healthy AND FREE Menu Plan Your Butt Off. That’s right! We plan, you print out the grocery list, shop and you’re set with a full week of healthy dinners! Trust me, you’ll be glad you took the time to read, check out the recipes and […]
Okay. So these may not fit the traditional definition of donuts. They’re not fried. They’re not cream or jelly filled. They won’t send your blood sugar soaring. Trust, I love me a donut. And I’m mighty skeptical of donut impersonators. (Is it donut or doughnut? Hmmm.) What these Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts are is absolutely […]
What an egg’cellent way to start the day. After a hot, sultry evening of romance between desperation and motivation this child/recipe was born. The less romantic explanation: A long week of resourceful cooking in making sure to not let groceries go to waste (resulting in an empty fridge), coupled with forgetting to purchase ingredients for […]
Okay, confession time. My favorite thing to do in the morning is pour myself a cup of coffee and eat a soft, chewy cookie. A not so healthy habit that I learned from my Grandmother, who made fabulous, soft molasses cookies, that are so good with coffee. Since I am not willing to give […]
So there’s this (ahem) large coffee chain that I generally try to avoid – at least their food. Because honestly, it’s pretty hard to find anything truly healthy on the menu. There’s a lot of fake healthy stuff, but not much you can grab and not shudder about when you read the nutrition info […]
’m not sure when I became ‘that’ mom, or when the line was even crossed … but, I am constantly buying cereals for my children that they do not eat. You’d think with their pleading, promising, and convincing that they’d actually consume some of the contents… But that would make too much sense and be far […]
