This recipe was born from this year's magical snowy Winter Solstice. We got an unexpected snow, leading us to drop everything and head out to the mouth of the Olympic National park for an afternoon of snow play under the trees with no one else in sight. We came home happily exhausted and chilly with [...]
Once again, you ask, and I deliver. You guys got a kick out of the photo I posted on Instagram of this wing it and win it carob coconut butter cup, so I went to work perfecting the recipe today, and here you go! These came as a result of loving me some keto cups [...]

COOKIES! Who doesn't love a good cookie? Especially when it's got ooey gooey chocolate chips and the goddess of all nuts - the macadamia.

Brownies, oh brownies, how I love brownies. You know what else I love (something that I haven't written much about recently, but practice every single day)? CrossFit and movement in general, really. Nutrition is the basis of health, yes, but movement, well that's what makes us human. It's something we all share a need for, [...]
MY husband and I have gotten really good at a once a week shopping trip to farmers market that lasts us the whole week. Usually, Friday and Saturday turn out some pretty awesome, creative meals as we work to use up whatever is left before our Sunday trip. Soups turn to sauces, meals might look [...]
I want to start by taking a quick bit of this post to say MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of my readers. I am so thankful for every single one of you, and I am so in awe of where this blog has gone and (hopefully) will continue to go in 2015. Thanks [...]
