Follow Me! Every time I see a picture of sweet potato hash my mouth waters. So, this morning, after the family slept in super late, it felt like a brunch day.

Keep the peel on the potatoes and dice to about 1/2 inch cubes. Toss...

Follow Me! Free time. It’s one thing we all crave as busy moms. One way I try to make my life easier is by doing work on the front end, so I can relax on the back end. The beginning of the week is busy for me. Grocery store, workout, cleaning and food prep. I’m pretty much the opposite of a procrastinator. As a result, my Fridays and weekends are more relaxing! This salad is another example of something you can...

Follow Me! Banana kale smoothies have become a staple at our house. Kale has been the it green for the last few years and for good reason. It packs twice the vitamin-C as spinach. The problem? Most people just can’t stomach it. It’s kinda bitter right? The best and easiest way to get our leafy greens is in a smoothie. And we can hide the bitter flavor with other things like bananas. This is my go-to smoothie more than anything else....

And if you have greens in your fridge, some sort of protein such as...

Follow Me! I got this recipe for gluten free waffles from my wonderful (and extremely fit) sister-in-law. Thanks Bethany! She made these for my niece’s first birthday party and they were a hit! Why is gluten free a thing? At first I was just curious what all the hype was about. So, I tried it. Slowly, I switched the carbs I ate toward less gluten. Then, went totally gluten free for a while. I noticed a lot of less swelling in...

Follow Me! Clean eating is really a very simple concept. It’s basically eating foods in it’s purest form. Minimally processed. So, Twinkies, Hot-Pockets… you’re not in the club. Anything that you pick up and the ingredients list has a long crazy list of things you can’t pronounce–don’t buy. This includes foods that people have manipulated. Animals injected with hormones or cows that eat corn (which a normal cow can’t do, but we’ve managed to genetically modify them so they can because it’s cheaper). Steer...

Follow Me! Chia pudding. MMMMM. That sounds delicious doesn’t it! Actually, it’s pretty good. And I wouldn’t eat it if it tastes bad. This recipe is basically 2 ingredients and the rest is up to you. It’s detox friendly and super easy and quick. It also fills you up in the morning. Chia seeds are a wonderful thing to keep stocked in your pantry. They’re packed with fiber, protein, calcium and low in calories. So, per calorie, they’re one of the...

Follow Me! Who wants chocolate in the afternoon and it’s actually completely healthy? I do! After a while, finding a healthy protein snack in the afternoon got old. Honestly, I don’t think I can stomach another protein bar. So, after rolling in from a trip and no fresh produce available. I found a few things to make a healthy snack. And I had a chocolate craving. You know what happens when you get a chocolate craving….it turns obsessive! So, I dug around the house and found...

Follow Me! These chicken thighs are so easy it’s almost embarrassing. But, with this simple blend of flavors I wouldn’t grill them any other way. It gives you a good balance of tartness and sweet. I’m a sucker for balsamic so I add it to a ton of stuff. We’re traveling today, so my post will be short and sweet, but this recipe is too! So, your baste just has 3 ingredients and I usually have these stocked up! Take 1/4 cup of...
