When I find I am spreading myself too thin with work, workout and family obligations during the fall season, I start spreading it on THICK with my Chocolate Pumpkin Nut Butter. It’s a hearty, healthy, hellah-yum snack to fuel busy days.
That’s right I said CHOCOLATE and PUMPKIN in NUT BUTTER. It’s a trifecta of my favorite tasty things, and is so good it leaves me at a loss for words (mainly because I’m too busy licking the spoon). Read on to get all the details and recipe: Continue reading
Can’t be rolling right into the first weekend of fall without having pumpkin spice on my mind. I don’t even care that it’s still hot enough to necessitate running shorts and a tank top for my mad dash down Aisle 9 to grab (more than) my fair share of pumpkin puree before it goes out of stock. 
With this stockpile of canned pumpkin, I can make all the yummy pumpkin recipes I crave, including the newest I’m sharing today – {Low Carb and Gluten Free} Pumpkin Cookie Cake with Spiced Coco-Nut Butter Drizzle. Read on to get all the details and recipe: Continue reading
Have a pile of yummy stuff to eat, but no fork? A sandwich or wrap makes sense, but if you’re avoiding breads, tortillas, pita pockets and other carbohydrates, getting that food into your mouth can be tricky. My Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps make a smart swap for bread-like products – they have no carbs, no grains, no gluten, and no weird taste and texture like some of those alternative bread products around.
Growing up, my mom might have made these Egg Wraps and called them crepes. Yes, they are kinda like crepes, but so much easier and, again, free of all flours and grains. Read on to get the recipe, meal-prep instructions and serving ideas. Continue reading
DIY Collagen Golden Milk Mix, I think you are going to love this healing drink as much as me! I’m sharing the instructions on how to make this slightly sweet, slightly spicy warm elixir into a powdered mix so that you can prepare at any hour, anywhere. 
Turmeric is primary ingredient in Golden Milk — as you’ve probably noticed the spice has been trending among fit foodies in the last few years. Turmeric root (actually a rhizome related to ginger) has been used since ancient times for medicinal purposes. I’ll keep it brief here, because I’ve written lots of other posts with turmeric recipes and soap-boxing soliloquies of the benefits of turmeric, but this earthy, lightly sweet rhizome has been linked to reductions in inflammation, the regulation of blood sugar, and lessened incidence for certain types of cancers. Read on to get the recipe and how-to:

September is Better Breakfast Month, and I’m all about “making my day” with a healthy, balanced breakfast brimming with good things like whole grains, fruits, and protein. My Chai Pear Quinoa-Oat Breakfast Bake with Vanilla Ricotta Cream offers all this wholesome goodness and more (did I mention caffeine?), plus the big casserole is perfect for portioning into single serves for freezer meal prep. 
Another thing that “makes my day” is shopping at Whole Foods Market 365 (Cedar Park). It’s where I picked up all the fresh, organic ingredients for this make-ahead breakfast recipe. And, it’s also my go-to store to grab ingredients and prepped foods to fuel my active lifestyle filled with running, obstacle course racing, weight lifting, yoga, paddle boarding, being a mom to three boys and more.
