Happy New Years! I hope you had a lovely holiday season with your favorite people. We for sure did, and I’m back from the two week vacation feeling refreshed, rested, and ready for this glorious new year ahead of us. This is the second year I’ve taken off the last two weeks of the year and I plan to do this every year, including more days off throughout the year. That’s a goal for sure! More fun, playing, and time to relax so…

This beautiful no bake easy Blackberry Peach Mousse dessert is full of gorgeous summer fruit and no refined sugar. Use maple syrup for a quick stove top jam to set this easy mousse in minutes! Happy mid summer to you all! I’ve missed you, creating new recipes, and writing on here. It’s been an interesting summer to say the least. I’ve found myself embarking on new adventures, cooking on farms with kids, working events for…

It’s no secret via all of my social media accounts that I have been eating the new Farmstyle Greek Yogurt from Tillamook for the past few weeks. Thanks to Tillamook, they sent me this new yogurt line to check out all of the buzz. It is sold out in many stores and being devoured by many bloggers across the country.

So we’re moving in the next couple of weeks, and it was kind of a last minute move, unexpected, yet ended up being the best thing possible for us right now. Our landlords are selling the house we’ve been in for many years, so it’s bitter sweet. We…

You know I’m all about seafood! Pair it with guacamole and I’ll be licking my fingerS all night long. Ask anyone that knows me, it’s totally true. It’s also a fact that I wear a shirt that says, “Feed Me and Tell me I’m Pretty.” Things are fairly simplified that way for me, I like good food and nice sayings. This grilled fish tostada is no exception, good, simple, and easy to make food for our health…

These Oatmeal Blueberry Banana Protein Bars are filled with nuts, seeds, no added sugar, just sweetness from bananas and anti-oxidant filled blueberries. Perfect for kids lunches, adult snacks, and hikes! See the yellowish tint? That’s from turmeric and there’s also cinnamon, both give it such great flavor and have added health benefits. Win!

It’s here, there is no denying it. The holidays. Have you made your list and checked it a billion times? I am a major list checker, so it’s been checked a billion and a half times, I won’t deny that part. As I said earlier this week, I do take a step back though, making sure I enjoy the ride as much as I check my to do lists.
