Berry Lemon Chia Jam
I started a new thing where if we’re out of something, I’ll try to make it from scratch. This doesn’t work for the obvious staples (like eggs. We go through 172 each week), but little things like almond butter and jam. Berry Lemon Chia Seed Jam One night, I was packing Livi’s lunch up for…

Protein pancakes without the protein powder
Hi guys! How’s your morning been? A little later post today. I spent a lot of the am getting ready (aka cramming) for my first practice barre class at the studio where I’ll be teaching. The good news is that we have freedom to design our routines, but we do a set order for each…

Spiced smashed potatoes
Potato, potahhhhhto…… I feel like I’ve had a few successes today: 1) I took a barre class, two days after the half marathon, as part of my training for work. (My first full practice class is Thursday! Wahoo!) I was on the fence if this was a success or failure, as I couldn’t complete about…

Homemade Acai Bowls
Along with the handful of bases where we’ve been stationed, there’s also a corresponding food that will bring back fond memories of that assignment. Despite the glorious Southern food that we were surrounded with, our Valdosta food was Indian cuisine: soaked up with fresh naan and enjoyed with our close friends. Our Tucson food was…

Clean Eating Tuna Salad
This recipe is inspired by the tasting tiki hut at Trader Joe’s. I’m thankful that they manage to give me a quick little snack when the munchies hit, and they also tend remind me of things I love that have somehow fallen off the radar. Case in point: tuna salad. We were getting our weekly…

Hi guys! How’s your day going so far? Lately, boatloads of fruit have been consumed in our house. This is the best fruit salad and I’ve been making it fairly often for the past few weeks. Livi goes crazy for it, and it’s the same salad I took over to Whitney’s to celebrate Easter with her family. Hope…

“The crunch” chopped salad with homemade Ranch dressing
I originally had a sweets recipe planned for today, but since I think we’re all still swimming in chocolate eggs from yesterday, how ’bout a salad to balance everything out? This is my latest salad fave and I will eat it until forever. By “forever” I mean until I burn myself out and am onto…
