Strawberry smoothies are typically not my first pick, they might even be my last. However, after several requests for a strawberry smoothie for clients kids and so on, I finally made one. Much to my surprise, I loved it! With the combination of toasted coconut - I am all over it. It’s simple, filling, and refreshing.
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but when the temperatures drop all of a sudden I start wanting asian food. I think it goes back to being a kid, and anytime it was snowing or raining outside my parents would order Chinese food to be delivered. It was basically a tradition that we all looked forward to, and to this day it always sounds appealing.
Read MoreFor me, there’s something really special about the beginning of a new year. It’s a time of reflection, of gratitude, and of visualization. I know that some people are really over the whole “new year new you” type of mindset, and I couldn’t agree more. So I don’t want you to get this confused. The beginning of the new year doesn’t mean you morf into some different version of yourself and magically change all of your bad habits.
Read MoreSo, this is a pretty funny blog for me to write. You wouldn’t know it, but I am somewhat “new” to jumping on the clean beauty bandwagon. I tried it YEARS ago - and did not like any of the products that I tried. So, after a few more years of living with harmful chemicals on my face I finally decided to give it another try, and I am so glad I did!
Read MoreWith it being near mid-December, it seems this is the time of the year when most of my clients, friends, and family are asking me “What do I do to boost my immune system so I don’t get sick?” Or, they have already caught something and they are trying to figure out how to get out from under it.
Read MoreThere’s something about the winter time that makes {most of} us crave comfort foods. A lot of the time, comfort food means highly processed food items that don’t leave us feeling the best. However, I am a true believer that that doesn’t have to be the case.
Read MoreThere’s not much better than curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of soup and a good movie, especially when it’s cold and rainy out. Throw in some sourdough bread and it’s a real party ;)
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about the cold weather is the arrival of comfort food. The savory goodness that beckons frosty windowpanes, a full table and a toasty fire. Growing up in the Midwest, I’ve always associated creamy casseroles with memories of cozy kitchens and flour-dusted countertops.
Read MoreWith Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have been busy making client meal plans and Thanksgiving menu’s for them and all of their loved one’s. I find myself being asked “Well, what do you make for Thanksgiving?”
Read MoreI love raw desserts for a handful of reasons, as you may already know. They make me feel light, they don’t contain refined or processed foods, and they always surprise people with a punch of flavor.
Read MoreLet me just say this - they put all of this plant based jargon into a main stream concept that just about anyone could relate to - and they did it well.
Read MoreTechnology is a godsend. Being able to check emails or buy toilet paper from our phones has been a huge advancement for us humans. However, there comes a point when screen time can actually harm our health. Too much screen time can actually restructure the matter that makes up our brains!
Read MoreIf you want to know my experience as a brand new restaurant owner - you’ve come to the right place. Because that’s what we are diving into today. It seems to be a hot topic around my peers, as everyone wants to know “What does it feel like to have your own restaurant?” or “Are you miserable, yet?” It’s quite funny the comments and projections from others that come my way.
Read MoreMeal delivery services have long been capitalizing on our lack of time and effort. We applaud them for it. But, do they really deliver? To narrow down the options, we first wanted to try Veestro and share our review with you all.
Read MoreBlue pie, sounds fun, right? I thought so. We made this raw dessert at my last Spring workshop and it was definitely a crowd favorite! Made with Blue Majik, a blue-green algae known for it’s anti-inflammatory properties, it’s good for you too :)
Read MoreSometimes, the simplest of meals are often the best. These tacos were created when I started working with the Oklahoma City Fire Department, as I wanted to teach an easy recipe that was filling for the times when firefighters get busy and have to eat to sustain their energy for an entire day
Read MoreI always post pictures of meals like the chickpea and dill tacos, summer detox salads, or lentil sloppy joes - yet 9/10 times I am sitting behind a computer screen eating the most simple salad ever. I figured it was time to share one of my daily rituals with you - as this salad is the easiest of the easy, and it’s my go-to when I am in a hurry or just not in the mood to cook.
Read MoreI recently shared on social media that I have been participating in hypnotherapy for the past 5 months, and it seems like most everyone wanted to know more about it. While this was a pretty personal endeavor, I coach my clients how to become more vulnerable - so I suppose this is going to be a blog post all about me being vulnerable with you and practicing what I preach.
Read MoreWe all love tacos, or at least I love tacos. These summer tacos changed my eating habits for 3 weeks straight. I still can’t get enough. If you love dill - these tacos are for you. I taught this recipe at my most recent Eat to Live workshop, and now I am sharing the recipe because it’s just too good not to, and I believe we all deserve to love these summer tacos as much as I do.
Read MoreThis salad is one of my all time favorites - especially in the summer when I want something light and refreshing. It was created by my cousin who’s an esthetician [the absolute best] and I think in her words this salad is “skin food!” If you’re ever having one of those days where you’re just feeling kind of “blah,” this salad will be your new best friend.
