I’ve got another fun superfood to present you with today, and a delicious recipe to go along with it! You may have heard of cacao nibs but I know many people don’t quite understand the difference between cacao and cocoa, and what on earth is a “nib”?!
Cacao is the purest form of chocolate that you can consume. It's raw and much less processed than cocoa powder... or chocolate bars!
I'm not holding back on the pumpkin recipes this year! You're going to thank me for this one. Not only is it seasonal, simple, and delicious, but it's also packed with protein so you have nothing to feel guilty about.
I love coming up with real-food alternatives for popular treats. There once was a day when my idea of a perfect afternoon was a Starbucks pumpkin scone AND a pumpkin spiced latte - talk about a boat load of sugar! Now I feel like I can still participate in the flavors of the season without compromising my health goals.
I’m so excited to share this recipe with you! The combination of spices is super yummy, not to mention anti-inflammatory, great for digestion, and full of powerful nutrients. It’s comfort food at its best.
I recently shared some of the amazing benefits of turmeric. There have been over 7,000 peer reviewed studies on turmeric and its profound health benefits. It has been studied to be effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis, depression, diabetes, cancer, healing skin issues such as acne, anti-aging, brain health and memory. There are so many amazing benefits to this superfood.
Apple picking is one of our favorite fall activities and afterwards I find myself scouring Pinterest for allll the apple recipes! Here is one the whole family has enjoyed and it's really put me in the fall spirit.I love that this recipe is made from real food and contains a great balance of healthy fats and fiber to balance out the sweetness that comes from the apples and coconut sugar.
It’s back-to-school season and back-to-routine! Our fall schedule is quickly filling up with sports and activities, and while I love everything we’re doing and the people we are seeing, I feel the stress building with every new thing we add to the calendar.
Here's what I've learned - food is the ONE THING.
When we have our food dialed in, everything else in our life is easier to navigate. When it's not, everything is more stressful.
It’s back to school week in our house so I’m keeping our meals super simple. Simple and healthy doesn’t have to mean boring and tasteless, I still want our food to be delicious!
A tip for you from a mom of 14+ years, kids LOVE eating food off of sticks. There’s just something festive about skewers, even if what’s on them isn’t any different than a regular dinner you’d cook in the oven. Whenever I put food on skewers my kiddos are so enthusiastic about dinner, even the veggies!
During the summer I find myself wanting to spend less time in the kitchen making elaborate dinners and more time playing outside, tending to the garden, going on walks, and swimming in the evenings.
Sheet pan meals are awesome because cleanup is minimal, everything is ready at the same time, and once dinner is in the oven the rest of the process is "hands off" so I can power through some chores.
Our family is getting ready to head out on our first camping trip of the summer! I’ve never been to Redfish Lake but have heard it’s absolutely gorgeous so we are pumped.
It takes some strategy and planning to eat well when traveling, especially when you’re camping and bringing your own food. I thought I’d share with you some of the food we bring and how I plan.
I’ve been hearing from a lot of you that fresh recipes are a huge help. We all get stuck in a rut sometimes and nothing motivates me to eat healthy quite like a fresh recipe.
This one is a delicious shrimp cobb salad. With the weather warming up, salad season is back! The lemon in this dressing recipe is especially delicious too.
