Brownie Fruit Pizza
I finally started packing… This means I have a pile of travel-sized things + Reebok clothes and shoes, ready to be stuffed into a suitcase. Bella wants to know where we’re going on vacation, and Caro… well, poor Caro is just freaked out from the monsoon storms. We’re having a little dinner party at our…

Sweet and spicy cucumber salad
Hiiii, how’s your August going so far? 😉 I love hearing about your goals and what you’re reading this month. Be sure to check in tomorrow morning for the August workout calendar! (If you subscribe to my newsletter, you’ll get it first thing in the am.) It’s been a great day over here. I got…

Quick No-bake Grain-free Cookie Dough
It always blows my mind when people say they don’t like chocolate. It’s ok, we can still be friends. More for me, right? I live for chocolate. Livi is quickly learning the ways, too. My nana bought me a cupcake magnet years ago and when you press the cupcake it says, “I loooooooooove chocolate.” Guess…

Low-carb zucchini pizza
I’m always messing around with pizza. I think it’s a safe bet because even bad pizza is pretty freaking amazing, so I feel more comfortable toying around with different flavor profiles and crust ideas. One of my all-time faves is this Three Great As pizza, and we’ve also been enjoying lots of chicken crust pizza.…

Healthy buffalo chicken salad
Baked chicken nuggets are the star of this healthy buffalo chicken salad! It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a nugget – so long in fact that I didn’t think I missed them. It’s all about the dipping choices, anyway. 🙂 Buuuut, then I made this awesome new salad and in the process created…

Homemade nut cheese
Whenever I see a food that looks AMAZING, I can’t.get.it.outta.my.mind until I get my fix. It happened recently when a green smoothie -I’ve been thinking about the blended salads I used to make so often!- and again when I read Gena’s post about nut cheese. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had nut-based cheese…

My version of the Bowl of the Gods
You knows it’s serious when you can’t stop thinking about a smoothie bowl. I don’t even love smoothie bowls all that much. Sure, I like them, and it’s a way to shake up the breakfast routine, but what can be sooooo special about eating your smoothie like a soup? Apparently a lot of things. I’ve…

Sweet Potato Pesto Pasta {gf with an easy Paleo/vegan option}
Last night was girls’ night since the Pilot had a late flight. When Liv woke up from a 3-hour nap (I finished up some to-dos, and even got to read and paint my toenails! Hallelujahhhhh), we had an awesome lunch together. I’d been wanting to make her something with fresh basil since she loves picking…

Berry Cheesecake Protein Fudge
If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw pictures of last night’s coyote sighting: (I can’t help but think, “They see me rollin’.. they hatin’…”) I was driving to Zumba and paused to let a pack of coyotes walk past. I snapped a quick shot from the side window and called the Pilot to…

Berry Crumble in a Jar
There are a lot of things I’ve been behind the trends with, and I’m ok with that. Skinny jeans (it took me a good two years to feel comfortable wearing them, which is funny now because they can actually be very flattering), a top knot (my mom got me one of those cool bunmaker things…

Thin Mint Protein Fudge
As memorable and fun as everything has been, it feels good to get back in the swing of things this week. I’m back home in jammies with Liv (she’s napping away right now), we all slept in a little bit, and I’m planning for the week. When I asked for Kyle’s wedding off from work…

PRO meals: Salmon in parchment with asparagus and basil
I’m getting waryyyy too comfortable with our Trader Joe’s routine. I put Livi in the baby carrier (the BabyHawk or Ergo), grab a cart, and blitz through the store, often in 15 minutes max. It has to be fast and furious, because Livi loves to snack her way through Trader Joe’s and I try to…
