Eat well. Live clean.
New here? Sign up for my newsletter and receive my free ebook “25 Quick and Easy Paleo Meals!. Thanks for visiting! This pesto. Wow. I’ve made a bunch of pestos over the years, but there was something about this one that just wow-d me. Also I might be a little biased because all the basil…
I have been giving my crockpot some serious loving these last few weeks. Everything goes into one pot and out comes dinner! When you live alone, cooking an extravagant meal for one isn’t very appealing. Most of the time the clean up takes just as long as the actual cooking. That might have something…
In the spirit of Autumn, I blended up two delicious juices in the perfect fall colors. I know I said I was putting my juicer to rest, but I needed to do a little fridge clean out before my move! Both are slightly sweet but with the perfect ginger kick. I put ginger in pretty…
These last few days have been absolutely exhausting. Since 2006, I’ve moved 10 times, and I’m about to make it 11. I can’t believe I’ve moved so many times or so often. I hate moving. More specifically I hate packing. It takes forever! Somehow I always have too much stuff and not enough boxes. I…
Sometimes eating out can be tricky especially at your favorite restaurants. For me, I have a hard time branching out to my old go-to favorites. I am a creature of habit and when I find a dish I love I tend to stick to it. To help cope, I love recreating my favorites at home….
It is almost Halloween! I actually didn’t really get into halloween until college. I know I know. You are thinking scantily clad outfits. I actually take a lot of pride in making most of my costumes. I typically only spend about $10 on supplies. I probably have more fun thinking of an original costume and…
I might have gone a little crazy with my juicer. I over indulged myself at the farmers marker and needed to use my produce before it went bad. I normally try and only use my juicer once a week in favor of eating all my fruit and veggies whole, but I might have busted it…
Sometimes naming recipes is hard. Sometimes I try to be cheeky. Sometimes I go for the more obvious. Who knew such a simple thing could be so difficult? This time I went for the more obvious name. What can I say? My creative juices seem to be running a little low. Or I am depleting…
Lately I have been being a “tourist” in my own city. After living in LA for three years, it is crazy how much I haven’t seen or done. In the last week, I’ve visited a pumpkin patch in the OC, walked around Downtown Disney in Minnie Mouse ears and found one of the two remaining…
Yeah more pumpkin! This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my friend in Orange County. I haven’t been to a pumpkin patch in years, and it was so much fun! Pumpkins as far as the eye can see! After an hour of walking around, we both settled on a couple of pumpkins. I’m…
Fall has officially began in LA. Well maybe not. It is supposed to be in the low-70s this weekend, but it is getting down to the low-50s at night! Yes I realize that may not seem very cold, but I’m convinced the 50s in LA are colder than the 50s in the Midwest. This probably…
While attempting to watch OU football last Saturday, someone asked me if I went there because I was cheering for them. I told them no, I went to KU. His response, “Oh so you tolerate football, but love basketball.” My friend burst out laughing and goes “you hit the nail on the head.” Evidently my…
Two crockpot recipes in a week! I’m giving my crockpot some serious love. I was talking about my current crockpot obsession with my friend, and she found it so funny I called it a crockpot. I guess the more refined term is “slow cooker,” but it has been a crockpot to me my whole life….
