Starting month 3 of my weekly CSA box! What became very apparent this week is how much better fresh veggies taste compared to store bought or packaged. I recently bought a vegetable party platter for vision board workshop I was hosting, you know the ones with the broccoli, carrots, peas, and cauliflower with the ranch... Continue Reading →
CSA Week 7&8
Spring is officially in full swing and more veggies are sprouting; excited for the weeks to come. Week 7 keeping the green theme going. Leafy greens are the power house vegetable, packed with nutrients and vitamins that our bodies crave. There is some definite truth to the saying "Eat your greens" more so than "An apple a...

CSA Saturday 5&6
Every Saturday is like Christmas, well kinda. I love surprises and it's so fun going to pick up my veggies not knowing what I'm going to get. Week 5: Sorrel- I've found adding this lemony herb to my salads is quite tasty. Purple Radishes- A bright pop of color to any dish. I used these... Continue Reading →
Prepping for a Reset Cleanse
What I love about Spring is it's a great time to do some cleaning. Whether that be something in your house, your environment, or your life, making way for more inviting possibilities by cleaning out the old cobwebs always feels amazing. The past few weeks I've been having some digestive upset so what better time... Continue Reading →
CSA Saturday 3&4
So I'm one month in to my CSA program and it has been fun experimenting and using the herbs and veggies in various recipes. Bonus week 3 I got some gorgeous fresh tulips and daffodils that I tromped through the mud and rain to cut myself, worth it! I have a lot of faux flower... Continue Reading →
CSA Saturday 1&2
This year I decided to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Program. I love eating vegetables but was tired of always finding the same basic staples at the grocery store. My local farmers market didn't offer much variety either. I learned about CSA programs awhile ago but never looked into signing up until now. I researched... Continue Reading →
Holy Mole
One of the things I love most about cooking is experimenting with recipes and making them fit my lifestyle. Another thing I love is Mexican food. My guilty pleasure are the chips and pico de gallo (they have to be thick cut though). Now I know this is more of an Americanized food, just as... Continue Reading →
Spring Ahead & Sleep
Well today we moved the clocks forward an hour which always throws off my sleep rhythm. I'm loving that the evenings seem longer with more sunlight, but it will take my body a few days to figure it out again. Quality restful sleep is so important for our bodies. When we are sleeping our bodies... Continue Reading →
Clearing The Clutter
A few days ago something really weird happened. I forgot about an appointment I had scheduled AND I forgot to meal prep for one of my clients. Now luckily, I remembered in enough time to complete the meals before heading to bed that night, but the other, totally spaced. I am not one to put... Continue Reading →
Instant Pot Bone Broth
A few months ago I posted about bone broth and I have since upgraded from Crockpot to InstantPot. Nothing against using a Crockpot to make bone broth but going from 12 hours to 2 hours in the InstantPot is a game changer. I use bones from cooked whole chickens, venison, beef, or lamb, pretty much... Continue Reading →
Sunday Funday Meal Prep
This week I went heavy on the veggies and utilized a lot of overlapping ingredients to cut down on prep time and to keep my grocery list as short as possible. Following I've outlined my menu and highlighted the ingredients I used in each so you can see how each meal is similar yet different.... Continue Reading →
Food Sensitivity
Most people know if they have a food allergy when their throat gets scratchy, swelling, difficulty breathing, hives, etc. However, there is another category of food intolerance or sensitivity that most people are unaware they have. Symptoms are not immediate and can be subtle if you don't know what to look for. The most common... Continue Reading →
