Slow Cooker Greek Chicken Soup
Hi! How’s the day going? Hope you’re having a great morning <3 I took yesterday afternoon to research some options for Bell after taking her to the vet. (Animals amaze me. She knew we were at the vet -even though it was a new place/doctor- the second we walked in the door. Liv spent lots…

Focus On: IIFYM
(If It Fits Your Macros) I’ve received a few requests to talk about macro counting, especially since it’s surged in popularity on Instagram, particularly in the past year or so. You may have seen a picture of a giant donut covered in frosting + sprinkles, or a double-stuffed pizza and the hashtag “IIFYM,” which stands…

20-minute head to toe workout
(all you need is a pair of dumbbells) Hi! Hope you’re enjoying the day so far. It was a perfect cloudy morning and afternoon: a trip to the library, soup in the slow cooker, and cleaning up around the house. I feel like I’m currently surrounded by a mountain of laundry, but at the same…

Pickled kumquat, feta and mint salad
Hi! How’s the day going? What’s today’s workout plan? This is a shocker, but I actually woke up early and made it to yoga!

The slow cooker makes amazing soups, curries, and chills, but some of my favorite uses are more unconventional: cooking butternut squash…

Fight the sickies
Hi! How’s your day going? Hope it’s been a great one so far! We spent the morning expiring Old Town, which is always fun to explore. I feel nostalgic combing through the embroidered Mexican fabrics and gently weighing the small trinkets in my hand. Turtles with bopping heads, small saints, and Mexican skeletons dressed in…
