Luscious grain-free lemon cake
Hiiii. How’s your Monday going? We’ve had a lovely morning. Still tons of rain, a sweaty BODYPUMP class, and Livi’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. WHY CAN’T WE HAVE A NATIONAL SIESTA? My family is…

Superfood Energy Bars
Hiiiii 🙂 How’s the afternoon going? Monday in a nutshell. I figured I could really use a cup of Joe, so I made a cup and begin enthusiastically shaking what I thought was cinnamon into the mug. Red pepper flakes. I finished off the jar. I don’t even know. The rest of the morning was less…

Savory Goat Cheese Veggie Dip
Hi! How’s the afternoon going? It’s been a great day with my little sidekick. 🙂 This morning involved playing birthday fairy, which involved a solo trip to the mall.

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…

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…
