It has been a while since I’ve made anything with coconut flakes… even though they’re one of my favorite ingredients. A few weeks ago it was my friend Alejandro’s birthday, and I had no idea what to buy him… so I made up a new recipe in his honor. He’s really into crossfit and the …
I’m no stranger to making pb cups at home. In fact, I feel like I invented them because I make them for all people and all occasions… and whenever a “new” person tries them, I’m reminded of how amazing (and easy) they are. I often eat them for breakfast (with coffee), and they can be …

My friend Kirsten from Cheerfully Imperfect is hosting a 30-Day Fermented Foods Challenge.

One of my main goals in life is to find the most efficient ways for people to feel awesome and look great too. From my years of wellness coaching, I know that most people want to look and feel good, but they also don’t have tons of time to achieve that. I’ve learned that we …
