Follow Me! Do you ever feel like you’re being swallowed up in phone and iPad cords. You have stuff plugged in all over the house? This was driving me crazy because I don’t like a lot of clutter on counters. Our phones, iPads, FitBits, Mophies you name it was taking up half a counter in our kitchen. I tried having everything charging in our office. But lets face it, the kitchen was our dumping ground and where we spend so much time....

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! I’m normally a planner when it comes to our trips, but with Napa I was super overwhelmed and shut down! I was also really worried having a low tolerance that I was gonna pull a Sideways and fall off the stool at a tasting. Too much vino. EEEK! It is not like that at all. We had a lovely time and definitely learned a lot about wine and wine tastings. My husband and I went to Napa last October as...

Follow Me! We were on a trip recently when I tried lavender creamer in my coffee. I was hooked. So, I came home and played around with some ingredients and came up with my own recipe! All you need for one weeks worth of luscious creamer for your coffee is 1 can of Coconut Milk, 1 Tablespoon of Lavender and 2 Tablespoons of Maple syrup. Pour your can of coconut milk in a small saucepan. The coconut milk separates so it’s...

Follow Me! This was definitely the trickiest post so far. Doing my hair one-handed while taking pictures. That’s why I put this off until the end of the week! Anyone that knows me will tell you that I hate hate hate taking selfies. Well, I take that back…it’s fun with friends in a fun place. But, taking selfies in the bathroom by myself. What am I… 12?! Anyway, it’s the only way to get some hair tips out there. I get...

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! Okay, so you don’t see many people’s pantry right? Well, like our closet, I’ll give you an intimate look into ours. A handful of people who have happened to see ours have asked me to come organize theirs. I did one friend’s pantry and decided I preferred to organize my own stuff. With other people’s stuff, it’s hard to know what to throw away and what to keep. Maybe someone has an iron-grip on those chips. So, this is something...

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...

Follow Me! If you look at an ingredient list of powdered hot chocolate, you’ll kinda feel like you’re drinking a cup of pixie stick. At least I do. So, the other day in our little Texas town we had a chilly day and I had a hankering for a hot chocolate. I made a switch to cacao a while back. It tastes similar to your normal powdered chocolate but it’s actually healthy. Cacao is cold-pressed and unroasted, therefore keeping the living...
