Super Easy Chocolate Almond Butter Smoothie Recipe
I have a confession to make: I miss peanut butter. Like, I really, really, really miss it. But, since doing my first Whole30, my body just isn’t having anything to do with peanut butter. It’s like a revolt, people. Best not to have it, in my opinion (and the opinion of the boys). Before my…

Ish got a new grill this week. It was time. Because, well, we didn’t have a grill. In fact, we haven’t had a grill in nearly 3 years! Like I said, it was time. I was over the moon when our brand spankin’ new Weber Charcoal Grill. This meant we could grill chops, ribs, and…

My Health Journey began back in the winter of 2013. My last baby had been born about a year before that. We had just moved across the country and I had fallen in a deep depression. I had tried to stay active but found that was hard with 4 kids. This was all new to…
Read MoreBreakfast To Go: Paleo Egg Cups (With Bacon!)
Since I started my Whole30, I’ve come to LOVE egg cups. I’ve been testing out different recipes, and have come to the conclusion that I much prefer par-cooking my bacon. You can definitely go ahead and use raw bacon, but be aware that you’ll need to put your breakfast in the oven to finish the…

Do you ever feel like a big “fancy” breakfast, but you just don’t have time (or you don’t want to deal with the deluge of pots and pans)? I am all about planning ahead, and I love bacon & egg cups…but sometimes, you just want some scrambled eggs. Maybe I miss being a kid? Anyways,…
Read MoreEasy Paleo Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
Me without pasta is never going to happen, but in the spirit of eating more whole foods, I decided to take a stab at using spaghetti squash in place of my normal whole wheat noodles. As an Italian girl, I’ll be honest: I wasn’t holding out much hope. I’ve used spaghetti squash before, but I have…

People say that when you’re pregnant you have WIERD cravings…and they’d be right. Some of mine? Pickles and peanut butter, butter and jam (didn’t indulge this one), pears and pesto. Yeah. WEIRD. While I’m not pregnant (and don’t plan to be again, thankyouverymuch), I still get insatiable cravings every now and again. No Time Lately,…
