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…

Clean Eating Cranberry Sauce
Begin the avalanche of clean Thanksgiving recipes. And memories of that one time I thought I’d eat a bowl of fresh cranberries like a fruit salad. Don’t ever do that. Aren’t they pretty? While I definitely think there’s a time and place for splurging and saving, Thanksgiving is high on the live-it-up factor. I look…

The Best Pasta Salad You Will Ever Have in Your Entire Life
It’s a bold statement, but this truly is the best pasta salad ever. We went to our little cousin’s birthday party last weekend, and while it was a blast to hang out with the fam, swim with Livi and hear her sing “Happy Birthday,” the star of my heart was a pasta salad. Not just any…

Apple Pie Smoothie
Even though it’s close to 100 degrees, I can still feel a hint of fall in the air. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I’m gonna roll with it 😉 That’s where this apple pie smoothie comes in–it’s a great way to enjoy fall flavors even when the weather hasn’t gotten on board with what…

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.

Grain-Free Vegan Thumbprint Cookies
For yesterday’s dinner, I had an awesome picnic in mind, but the rain had another idea. So hot bar inside it was. Noodle has the hot bar routine down pat. We walk around and pick our eats, grab a drink (either water or a fresh juice) and then she looks up at me and says,…

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…

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…
