food is medicine

A little bit ago I was introduced to Tyler Anson from Everyday Warrior and was immediately inspired to put together this post and to help support the cause however I could. If you haven't heard about Everyday Warrior, I am glad you are here; please keep reading. The folks fromĀ Everyday WarriorĀ believe in the warrior spirit. [...]

I am giving away TWO large canisters of Vital Proteins (read on for more details and a COUPON CODE for everyone)! There's been a lot of talk about collagen from grass ged cows and its myriad benefits as of late. And if you've been following my blog or Instagram, it should come as no surprise [...]

egg-free, nut-free cocoa fudge brownies and the power of movement

By | 2016-04-10T10:09:12-08:00 March 20th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Autoimmune Paleo, CrossFit, Health, Movement Tips, Recipes|

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, [...]

bone broth jigglers

It should come as no surprise by now that I am a huge advocate of homemade bone broth. Look no further than THIS post to see why. The cool thing about this healing bone juice is that you don't needĀ much to reap some benefits (although the more, the healthier, of course). The Ā not so cool [...]

how about a quick clean up? #rrquickcleanup

By | 2015-12-14T09:44:06-08:00 February 27th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes, The Mind|

So we're here. The year is in full swing, we're moving into Spring, and reality is hitting. The gung-ho resolutions of January 1st might be faltering a bit, might be seeming a whole lot less doable now that we're back at work, time is precious, and dammit, those cravings are calling. So what do you [...]

fermented farmers market chutney

By | 2015-04-01T08:21:41-08:00 January 18th, 2015|Health, Nutrition, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

This recipe is not only delicious, it just so happens to be beautiful too! What makes this chutney even more awesome is the story that inspired it. My husband and I love New Years Eve, but we don't love to celebrate like most. Instead, we make a point every year of getting "off the grid" [...]

so how do I make this real food thing work?

By | 2015-06-02T11:06:18-08:00 January 13th, 2015|Health, Nutrition|

People often have every excuse in the book for not making a change in their lives that, though perhaps will take a bit of work, will improve health, energy levels, relationships, mental state, and quality of lifeĀ (to name a few). With that in mind, I thought I would put together some ideas to help make [...]

finally, people are getting Fed Up

By | 2015-03-31T13:40:06-08:00 January 9th, 2015|Health|

Happy 2015! It's a new year, and if there is one thing I love about the new year, it is the new vigor so many people have for life and the well-intentioned goals that typically revolve around health and fitness. I have heard all kinds of resolutions (mostly unrealistic ones that falter after a week [...]

creamy tomato soup… a favorite family tradition

By | 2016-12-20T11:26:53-08:00 December 29th, 2014|Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

As far back as I can remember my family has spent Christmas EveĀ at my great aunt and uncles (the coolest God Parents a girl could ask for). Some of my most cherished memories are from this night once a year where the parents would eat raw oysters (which I thought were nasty). Where I had [...]
