Slow cooker detox chicken
Hi friends! How’s the day going? It’s been a great one over here, most of it is attributed to the fact that it’s warm and glorious. Quick trip to the beach: Some more adventures from lately: Liv asked for pancakes before she went to bed last night, so I had fresh Mickey face ‘cakes waiting…

Crispy Chocolate Coconut Protein Bars
This is just ridiculous. Before we talk protein bars, let’s talk about The Bachelor. DID YOU WATCH IT?! Are they really trying for ratings this season or what? The tupperware joke. I’m still cringing bahaha. I loved that they saved the normal people for the last round, for the most part. Good TV. So, yesterday…

Brownie batter protein bites
(gluten-free and vegan!) Hi guys! How’s the day going? I’ve loved reading about your fitness resolutions for the new year. Keep ’em coming! Also, now is a great time to start working on those inspiration boards. I’ll be putting the call out to link to them (or email a pic) on Wednesday and would love…

Double Chocolate Paleo Gooey Cake
As you can guess from the title, this recipe is all things good in the world: chocolate, gooey, cake, yes. They’re also grain-free and accidentally egg-free. I went to add in the egg and we were OUT OF EGGS. Emergency crisis. I ended up giving them a whirl anyway, and the result is dense, fudge-y…

Roasted Root Vegetable Salad with Maple-Dijon Dressing
This roasted root vegetable salad recipe is sponsored by my friends at Canada Pure Maple Syrup. Liv’s school holiday show was last night! It was probably one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. As we watched her shake her maracas and sing “Feliz Navidad” on stage, I’m pretty sure I could feel my heart…

Staying on the wagon + some awesome dinners
Hi! How’s it going? It’s rainy and gloomy and fantastic. We had a morning playdate with Whitney and Wyn, and during naptime, I’m packing up Kale Yeah shirts and getting ready for Zumba. During spin on Monday, I gave my class major kudos for showing up. It can be hard to get back into the…

Pumpkin Acai Bowls with Cranberry Crunch
The Christmas cop has arrived in our house. It happens every year. I get a little excited to break out the snowmen and twinkly lights and he’s all “honor the bird” and won’t let me touch the xmas supplies until we’re eating day-after-Thanksgiving sandwiches. Humbug. Even though I have to hold off on all Christmas…

Persimmon and goji berry smoothie
SO MUCH fall produce to be excited about! From the squash everything to the apple varieties, it’s definitely a diverse group of delicious options. My very favorite: the persimmon. I didn’t have my first persimmon until we were living in Valdosta, and I bought one on a whim. At first I was like “how…

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! It felt amazing to start the day with some movement, heat (loooove the heat) and a stretch, especially after yesterday’s Bodypump/spin combo. (Last night’s ridiculous sunset!) At our gym, we have…

Autumn Spice Overnight Crockpot Steel Cut Oats
Another thing on the “fall is awesome” list: the slow cooker. This is one of my most beloved kitchen appliances, and something I’ve used frequently since receiving it as a wedding gift, years ago. The slow cooker makes amazing soups, curries, and chills, but some of my favorite uses are more unconventional: cooking butternut squash…

Avocado Chocolate Chia Pudding + Healthy Late-Night Desserts for One
This chocolate avocado chia pudding is the perfect dessert for one. It’s a sweet treat that you can feel good about! Last night’s Zumba class was CRAZYAWESOME. I could tell there were a few professional dancers in class (and had a lot of fun shaking with them), and turns out that they’re part of the…
