I'm in a bit of a breakfast crisis, y'all. It's too cold for smoothies (although I do have one of these every afternoon!), and a mug cake is always a huge win - but sometimes I just need something savory. These quinoa muffins are amazing, but I have noticed that when I have too many carbs I can't stop craving them alllll daaayyyy looooong. So this weekend Nate and I were scrolling through Pinterest and saw a picture of cauliflower bites. When we followed the link it was dead, so I ... continue reading...

As of last night we started watching Game of Thrones. Tell me - what are your thoughts? I liked the storyline minus all the boobs and sex. And I've heard great things about it, it won all the awards, blah blah blah - but is it worth sticking with it? Two recipes I made this week that were big hits (and both from Pinch of Yum I should add - failproof blog in my opinion) cauliflower walnut taco meat and walnut pumpkin chili. SO GOOD. So good for you. And both recipes make a ton, which ... continue reading...
I Quit Birth Control: Why, How and Thoughts About Leaving the Pill Behind
Before you go any further I need you to read these points: I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I am simply here to share my personal story in case it resonates with anyone else. I would strongly advise you to educate yourself, find a medical professional you trust, and ask ALL THE QUESTIONS before you decide what's right for you. I'm simply here to share my experience and encourage you to not take things at face value (like I once did). We have to advocate for ourselves, and ... continue reading...
#RealBeautyinRealLife
Long ago I had another blog that was devoted to helping women see that they were beautiful as-is. No makeup, no surgery, no photoshop required - just real-life beautiful. When I heard the announcement from CVS that they will be banning photo manipulation for beauty products in their stores I couldn’t help but cheer. Sisters, makeup is fun to play with, but it doesn’t make you beautiful. Same with photoshop - it’s a tool, not a measure of worth. You are beautiful for the very ... continue reading...

WHAT A WEEK. I feel like I say that every week, but man alive we've all been sick this week - even me! And we all know that mama's got no time to be sick, right? It all started with Cold of Death, which was basically 4 days of me not being able to breathe because of congestion. The not breathing wasn't conducive to sleep, which means I also didn't sleep for 3 of those 4 days. I also now have this cough that rattles my head and makes my neck hurt, which is super cute - but alas, no ... continue reading...
Protein-Packed Chocolate Fudge Mug Cake
I wish I could tell you guys the number of times I've gone online in search of an amazing mug cake recipe only to be just SO disappointed by the outcome. I'm a pretty easy person to please, and being practiced cook I know I'm probably not messing up that many recipes. So what's the deal? Why don't these mug cakes just work and taste great without being all weird in the texture department and requiring a billion random teeny measurements? Truthfully I don't know - but I suspect it's ... continue reading...
Maple Dijon Sprouted Brown Rice
When I think of fall the first things to come to mind are always pumpkin-based, but a close second is always maple. Maple anything – on top of pancakes, in baked goods, syrupy sweet on chicken, in coffee, you name it – has always been a high priority in my fall foods lineup. This sprouted brown rice recipe is no exception! Let’s talk about sprouted rice for a moment. A lot of people don’t know that sprouting grains can be incredibly beneficial because it makes the nutrients in them ... continue reading...

HEY HEY HEY guys! Man, it was 40 degrees yesterday and it felt like flipping summer. I was THISCLOSE to throwing on a swimsuit and tanning on my back porch - who's with me? Hello? Is this thing on? So here's how our week went: Monday was a no-school day for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Then Tuesday and Wednesday were both no-school days because snow + hills + sub-freezing temperatures don't really mix. In the midst of that my older boy and I both got sick with a 24-hour ... continue reading...
Quick Southwest Avocado Toast with Hard Boiled Eggs
THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY GREAT DAY FARMS. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. If you've been following me on social media lately (namely Instagram stories) you've seen that on Monday I started an 80-day program that is fully focused on eating very clean and exercising well for 80 days. I've been waiting to start this for months now, and since the time is finally here I've been throwing a ton of energy into making sure that I have healthy options at the ready for every meal. Let's ... continue reading...

Baby, it's cold outside. Like, super duper cold but with NO SNOW so it looks like we should be out frolicking in the sunshine, but we can't. Because holy moly it's cold. I'm not typically one to just wish time away - it flies too fast as it is - but I also know that I'll be enjoying spring weather once we get some in a few months. What tricks do y'all have for entertaining cooped-up kiddos when you really just cannot go outside? I'm all ears! So, besides the fact that ... continue reading...
