Operation: Kill the Yeasty Beasties

A little over a month ago, I had just finished my allergy testing and was preparing for additional tests/shots with my Naturopath. In an attempt to begin ridding myself of low energy, control my blood sugar, decrease my fuzzy brain and get rid of my bad skin while I went through additional testing, I set…

This week has been crazy busy with training, consults, a flood of new work at the office, and a bunch of appointments with my coach, doctor, and Chiropractor. A busy week means literally no extra time to spend in the kitchen making fancy lunches. I had just 15 minutes a night to dedicate to packing…

I’ve been having crazy dreams lately, and no, not about food… although this next recipe did come to me in a daydream! I’ve been waking up with a peaceful mind, clear head, and focused intentions.

Vegan Creamy Honey Dijon Salad + Omega Croutons

Since starting my cleanse I’ve become obsessed with salads. Thankfully, it’s a great obsession to have coming from a girl that really could use more veg in her life.

Cleanse Breaking Coconut Rum Balls

Okay so… rum is not part of my cleanse plan. And I know we’re so far away from Christmas that even the mention of rum balls may be depressing for some of you [sorry]. But with 12 inches of snowfall on Saturday, my mind + body was totally seasonally confused. It all started when I’d…

Peach Pancake Cobbler

Kevin and I love our breakfasts. When we first started dating I would soak flax, oats, millet, and quinoa in a pot overnight and cook them up in the morning with some apple juice and maple syrup. A couple of months later we were addicted to cinnamon buns. Then, it shifted to porridge. Then, french…

Hi guys! Technically I’m not “here” right now. I scheduled this post before I left just because well, I couldn’t go an entire week without sharing this recipe with you. At this very moment I’ve probably just woken up to the sound of Tibetan chimes and am preparing for a quick jog around the lake…

Journey To Health: 6 Years To Find Myself

My birthday is coming up in exactly 40 days, not like I’m counting or anything. I’m turning the big 25 [it’s big to me] and I couldn’t be more excited, scared, mortified, or anxious. Since I was little, I’ve treated my birthday as others treat the New Year. I set goals for the upcoming year,…
