Healthy Easter brunch ideas, cleaner candies + basket stuffers
It’s hard to believe that Easter is already this weekend! We still haven’t decided if we’re going to make the drive to Tucson for the holiday, and while this post is about healthy Easter brunch ideas, if we do make it there, I’m going to run around and hug everyone before quickly diving into my…

Salted Baileys Chocolate Truffles
Here’s a fun dessert option for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities this week–salted Baileys chocolate truffles! In a nutshell, I took my favorite vegan cashew truffle recipe and de-raw-ified it by using Baileys instead of almond milk. It was a wise decision, indeed. I LOVE St. Patrick’s Day. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays,…

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…

Grain-Free Peppermint Brownies
Last night, we braved the cold (ok, Tucson cold, but still) to head up to Mt. Lemmon for our family photos. The chill was just the perfect weather to enjoy the peppermint brownies I have for you today. Perfect for a wintery dessert after being out in the cold! I think our photographer Jacquelynn got some…

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…

Fiesta Egg Casserole
This Mexican egg casserole recipe can also be known as “you really can put anything in an egg dish.” It was a nice and lazy weekend over here. After Saturday’s day of running + teaching, I treated myself to a massage – one of the major perks of working at a resort – and came home…

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,…

Quick No-bake Grain-free Cookie Dough
It always blows my mind when people say they don’t like chocolate. It’s ok, we can still be friends. More for me, right? I live for chocolate. Livi is quickly learning the ways, too. My nana bought me a cupcake magnet years ago and when you press the cupcake it says, “I loooooooooove chocolate.” Guess…

3-Minute Skinny Peppermint Mocha
Starbucks! They know me! Source I tend to stay away for the most part during the warmer months.. (which, let’s be real, is 97% of the time in Tucson.) I can make my own coffee at home, and save for the occasional iced green tea lemonade, it’s rare that I’ll hit up the SB drive…

DIY Felt Christmas Tree
“One hot glue gun does not a crafty Gina make.” I would be lying if I said that crafts didn’t intimidate me. Whenever I get the urge to DIY, the Pinterest feed instantly streams into my brain. Before you know it, I’m doubting and wah-wah-ing myself, when I remember that “if you run, you’re a…

One of the things to remember is to focus on the quality of your training, not the length. That’s why I created this holiday HIIT workout for you. It’s short,…
