lemony garlic grilled chicken breast

Summer is in full swing (I cannot believe we are in August. When did that happen?), and somehow I magically learned how to grill. It's always been something I just left to Rusty (no, not because he's a guy, but just because I had never done it and he had), but I got the urge [...]

creamy carrot ginger soup

I think there's time for one last soup for the season.... And this one is my favorite yet, It's so good I couldn't wait until winter rolled around again to share it with you guys. Nor could I wait till winter to make it in our own house two weeks in a row.Something about the [...]

coco-butter tea… modern day take on a Tibetan tradition

By | 2021-11-15T15:09:51-08:00 January 19th, 2016|Health, Nutrition, Recipes, To Drink|

While I absolutely LOVE my locally roasted organic coffee, I also think that there is something to be said for keeping things varied, and for not loading the body with tons of caffeine every morning. Variety is the spice of life, you know. Plus, studies have shown that consuming high amounts of caffeine can negatively impact cortisol.  Caffeine acts [...]

your shortcut to a serious superfood

*Scroll to the bottom for a crazy good deal! Yep, a shortcut... That's right; I said it. And this is coming from a girl who has never been an advocate for any sort of quick fix pill or supplement, and who has always said (and will keep on saying) that a real food approach is [...]

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 need much to reap some benefits (although the more, the healthier, of course). The  not so cool [...]

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 life (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

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 [...]
