It’s a SNOW DAY! The snow is quietly falling. Isn’t it so pretty? I closed the shop today and am working from home, and I tell ya, it feels good. I ate a few GF Banana Oat Muffins for breakfast with some peppermint tea, have bean chili in the crockpot for later and am realllllly getting into going slow … Read More
I’m so stoked to start the Eat Clean 21 FIT challenge with so many lovelies “cleaning up” for spring! In addition to making smoothies, protein bowls, and salad jars, we also make pizza, burritos and other faves with cleaner ingredients. Speaking of favorite food (along with tacos and burritos), who loves nachos?! Me, me, me! I loooooooove nachos! If you … Read More
When one thinks of baking, sugar, butter, white flour are typical ingredients. For me, nada on all that. Maybe it’s the Easy Bake Oven that Kate used to play with that converted me to the clean side (I cringe thinking of what sh*t ingredients and those toxic frequency waves brought!). Over the years, I’ve been tweaking and testing with plant-based … Read More
[sharethis] Thanksgiving is the most solid side dish game in town! I’m a sides girl. I’ve been known to make a whole meal out of side dishes when I go out to eat (asparagus, spinach and mashed potatoes please!) so for Thanksgiving dinner, I LOVE to make as many sides as I can. If you are cooking, I made you … Read More
[sharethis] Halloween is my favorite holiday. I am into watching horror films (Michael Myers scares the sh*t out of me!), carving pumpkins and dressing up in costume. For the last two years I went trick-o-treating as a deer, my spirit animal.I’m still undecided about this year. Do you have your costume figured out yet? When it comes to … Read More
[sharethis] I can’t stop! I love these beauties and pop them in my mouth every chance I get. Cherries are just so SUMMER. I saved some for this AWESOME July 4th dessert I made for the family cookout. The July 4th holiday weekend is always such a big food day. Personally, Independence Day is my 2nd favorite holiday (right after … Read More
[sharethis] The holidays… I always think I have lots of time to get ready and then BAM, well, not so much! I haven’t started shopping and cards, hmmmm, I am not sure they will happen (but hopeful!). BUT we did get our tree early compared to other years… we are famous for waiting until the week before, but this year … Read More

[sharethis] Winter… I have a love-hate relationship with it. Usually in December, I look forward to the first snowflake. I conjure up images of sipping hot vegan cocoa in front of the fireplace, all cuddled up with a cozy blanket and warm fuzzy socks. But by the end of February, fuhgeddaboudit. I’m done. There’s the other side of winter, the … Read More
[sharethis] Super Bowl Sunday is almost here! Are you as excited as I am? I have to honestly say that I LOVE football. It’s probably a given since I grew up in Pittsburgh and everything is about the Steelers. We were groomed at a very young age to know everything about the sport and our favorite team. I remember being … Read More
[sharethis] Now that the holiday is almost here, the glimpses of panic are now washed over with ease. What will get done, will get done. What won’t, won’t. And it’s okay. At least we got our tree. We started a new tradition and cut our own. Kate “pretending to cut the tree…we all know Dad did all the work! … Read More
[sharethis] So how goes it? Really, how are you? I know this time of year can get crazy so I want to touch base with you. I have to admit, I’m so far behind on all the holiday stuff. I try to keep breathing and reminding myself to let go and do what I can. I love this time of … Read More
