working on my mussels

Lots of seafood ahead… But first, these bunnies! I picked them up at Home Goods as an effort to add some Easter-ish decor and they look just like the foil-covered chocolate bunnies. Sadly, there is no chocolate inside, but theyโ€™re pretty cute. ๐Ÿ™‚ How was your weekend? Hope you had a great one! On Friday,…

Luscious grain-free lemon cake

Hiiii. Howโ€™s your Monday going? Weโ€™ve had a lovely morning. Still tons of rain, a sweaty BODYPUMP class, and Liviโ€™s gymnastics class, which is one of my favorite things ever.  So, there are a few customs I wish the US would adopt. #1: the siesta.

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 heโ€™s all โ€œhonor the birdโ€ and wonโ€™t let me touch the xmas supplies until weโ€™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, itโ€™s definitely a diverse group of delicious options. My very favorite: the persimmon.
