Hey Ya’ll. I’m back from my trip down south. We were gone for 12 days. Wow, that was a long time. We had such an amazing time. This trip was sort of a family reunion for my dad’s side of the family. His brother and sister (my aunt and uncle) were there, along with their…

Frozen Chocolate Bananas
In honor of this beautiful weather I am experiencing I wanted to make a frozen treat to enjoy on those warm summer days. I have had frozen bananas before as an ice cream substitute and found them surprisingly satisfying. Since I dont have a banana ice cream maker I decided to dip them in chocolate and freeze them instead. I mean how could that turn out bad right?
How I Eat Clean Throughout the Week
For me one of the biggest challenges I had when I first started eliminating processed foods from my diets was figuring out how to properly use food prep to my advantage. It takes practice, but over time I have been able to figure out how to cook some things ahead of time to make my…
Roasted Corn & Bacon Guacamole
Yum This week Sara is on vacation in Florida, which means I am all alone. When you work from home and your only coworker goes on vacation you realize what little contact you actually have with the outside world. Most of the day it is just me and the dogs…all alone. Don’t feel bad for…
Healthy Road Trip
It’s summer vacation road trip season! I’m getting ready to pack my family in the car for a summer road trip. As any mom, or parent for that matter, knows a road trip with a small child can be a nightmare. Kids thrive on schedule, and taking them in a car messes with just about…
Very Berry Popsicles

Tequila Lime Chicken
Okay, so this weekend my boyfriend and I are throwing our first party together. We are having a joint birthday BBQ at our place. Since our birthdays are 3 weeks apart, we decided that a joint party made the most sense. And my boyfriend…being a typical guy…has lived in his place for a while now and…
Orange Beef and Broccoli
Today was a big day for me! I harvested the very first thing from my little backyard raised bed garden! A head of broccoli! Man, that feels good. I’m in love with my broccoli. I wish there was some way I could preserve it. There’s not you say? Ok ok, I’ll just eat it. How…
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Yum Somehow I forgot about the simple pleasure of a strawberry smoothie. I’m so glad I’ve rediscovered it and just in time for summer too. When I was pregnant with my daughter I used to make myself a smoothie every morning. Oh how I’ve missed that morning treat. This smoothie is super simple. I…
