Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is going well so far—I know mine will be (I mean, it already is, considering my flights have been on time and I’m currently typing this from somewhere between Atlanta and LA). Kristen (my cousin that I’m visiting) is moving into her new apartment today…at the beach, with a …
I’m so glad I set this three-day challenge for myself. It’s so easy on my brain—generally when I set challenges, they’re complicated or they take a lot of thought and very specific effort (like schedules of what to eat when, etc.). This simple plan to nourish my mitochondria is specific regarding amounts of certain foods …

I think we all know that veggies are good for us. It’s no secret. But, sometimes when you read or see something in a certain way in a specific context, it just makes it feel more manageable to do. Today, I was reading Alison’s blog over at Mama’s Weeds (she is a fantastic writer and …
Apparently, I’m still feeling the motivation from my training session yesterday—I ate extra well today, did two workouts, and went in the infrared sauna. I weighed-in too, and Joe was nice enough to take my “before” pics. He laughed at me for all of this, by the way, but he was supportive. I like how …

First thing’s first… I made donut holes that had no sugar added, and no grains. And they actually turned out amazingly well. I won’t mention the donut recipe Matthew and I tried a few weeks ago that was disgusting. We made a huge mess, and were completely disappointed. Hey, I mean, it happens sometimes. Shortly …

A few years ago, when I moved to Pittsford, I was enthralled with the Pittsford Wegmans—it was a bit overwhelming at first, but I got into a groove there quickly, and made almost daily trips (after all, I lived 0.24 miles away!). Shortly after I began shopping there, I noticed the produce department had all …

I really needed this today: And This: And This: Just kidding, I didn’t have that last one. But I could go for one right now. I went to the gym early this morning, after an hour or so of work. Then I met a friend at a hot yoga class and we went to Starbucks …
I’ve been trying to think of an alternative to sugary ice creams or even fruit-based ones like banana soft serve (you may have noticed all the coconut cream ice cream recipes I’ve made in the past few months), and I decided to try avocados in the same method as the banana ice cream is made. …
After having received some great feedback and ideas on my original coconut flour flatbread recipe, I decided I would revisit it a little and try some new varieties. That post quickly became my most popular one—so I’m really glad that people are trying the recipe, enjoying it and letting me know too! Today’s variety of …

It’s no secret that I love peanut butter cups. Actually, I wouldn’t eat a Reece’s pb cup these days (maybe if I was starving), but I love the versions I’ve been making lately. The reason I began making these is not because I crave pb cups all the time, but because I really wanted to …
