Gingerbread Amazeballs
‘Tis the season for giving, for memories, for making our yard look like a light explosion, for mugs of candy cane green tea while watching “Four Christmases” for holiday-ifying all of my favorite recipes…. The gingerbread amazeball had to happen 😉 Sometimes it’s fun to stick with the usual snack standbys: -egg burritos -salad beast…

Clean eating sweet potato casserole
Here’s the sweet potato casserole you need at your Thanksgiving table. Livi and I were planning on going to squadron Thanksgiving on Friday afternoon. She ended up being awake all night Thursday night -teething is the worst- so after playing with friends Friday morning, we came home for naptime. Since she didn’t sleep well the night…

Pumpkin Cranberry Energy Bars
Best cure for a case of the Moan-days? A trip to the park to feed the ducks 🙂 Even better with pumpkin cranberry energy bars for a snack (recipe below!). I headed to the gym early this morning to get in a water treadmill run for the first time. Per an awesome suggestion, I wrapped…

Healthy and hearty chili
Ok, not really… it’s still shorts and tank weather. But it’s always a good day for a huge bowl of chili and chips. Yesterday afternoon, Livi and I didn’t have anything going on, and I figured the weather was too nice to stay inside. We called Kyle and Meg to see what they were up…

Eggplant Pizzas
Hi friends! Happy Monday to ya. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. After Saturday’s long run, I spent the day at work, crashed out embarrassingly early, and we spent all of Sunday just hanging out.

Sweet potato chicken salad
For having a husband who flies planes for a living, I don’t really love flying. I see it as a necessary evil, and while I don’t have full-blown panic attacks or anything like that, it’s not my favorite thing. With every sound I’m convinced that something will happen, and each flight usually involves at least…

PRO Meals: Salmon Cakes
Happy Monday! Anything exciting happening this week? I’m not sure what we’re up to today, but the weather’s been gorgeous so I’ll probably see if some friends want to meet up at the splash pad or zoo. I do know that we’re having these salmon cakes for lunch, though. Recipe to follow! Around the House I’m kind of…

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.…

Turkey muffins
It took me almost a year, but I finally made it back 😉 (Thanks to my friend Megan for waking up early to be tortured with me) I’ve been wanting to go back to CrossFit for a while, but it hasn’t worked out with my schedule. I know that if you want something bad enough…

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…
