23 Delicious Spaghetti Squash Recipes
It’s winter. It’s cold. And I’m doing Whole30. And I want spaghetti. But pasta is off limits this month (like way off limits). I can’t have grains or beans, which eliminates pretty much all of my go-to gluten-free pasta brands. And while I was upset about that for a hot minute, I quickly remembered that…

I’m doing the Whole30 this month, but that doesn’t mean that my kids have to (they certainly weren’t thrilled when I asked them). So I’ve been working on finding a happy middle ground for all of us. I’m already prepping meals for myself (I’m eating lots of eggs-hard boiled, egg and bacon cups, and even…
Read MoreWhy Am I Bloated All The Time?
Happy New Year, y’all! New Years Day has always been my most favorite day of the year…and not just because I get to have mimosas and not feel guilty.

Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away? I know! I’m still in total denial that I’m going to have to stop listening to Christmas music on January 8th (if you grew up Catholic you’ll totally understand) We’ve got the presents all wrapped up, though The Baby (who is now 3!!) did a…

One of my favorite parts of the holidays has always been baking. When we were kids, my mom used to bake up cookies (we were awesome taste-testers) and then deliver them to our neighbors. I think that is when it really starts to feel like Christmas for me. As the years have gone on, I’d…
Read MoreHow to Stress Less
When we moved, I did not expect to still be stressed out…3 months later. But I am. I mean…I feel like it’s just STRESS on top of STRESS on top of STRESS!!! The stressors are different now…it’s more about being stuck in the house (literally…there’s 18 inches of snow outside today and it’s 10 degrees!) and…
Read MoreShould You Go Paleo? (Paleo Diet 101)
If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you’ve likely heard me talk about paleo or Whole30 or clean eating…I mean, I did the Whole30 and blogged about my experience a few years ago (if you want a giggle, go back and read), and we’ve been eating mostly paleo in my house ever…
