Roasted Salad Towers
I’m all for chowing down on a fresh salad at any time of the day, but when the temperature drops and no amount of hot showers can warm me up, I’d rather drown myself in a warm bowl of veggies and an afternoon nap than chill out with a bowl of fresh veggies.
Paleo Cranberry Flax Stuffing with a Grain-free Bread Recipe
Christmas is a week away (as if you need a reminder) and you need a new stuffing recipe. Yes, you do. If you’re like most of the folks out there, including myself, you’ve done the same thing year after year, relied on the same recipes for the holidays… it’s time to spice things up!
3 Ingredient Chocolate Turtles
My Dad’s love for the caramel filled, pecan bottom, chocolate covered treat, otherwise known as the Nestlé Turtle, runs deep. Not as deep as his love for jujubes, but pretty close. It’s tradition that Dad get a box of Turtles every single Christmas. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Even…
Saturday Scenes: Family is Everything
Spending this last week and a half with my family has easily been the best Christmas present I’ve received this year. Heck, maybe even the best ever. Even better than the year Santa brought me a Dear Diary. Even better than my tamagotchi. Common, you had one too, right? The elves worked some magic that year,…
Goat Cheese Stuffed Turkey and Quinoa Balls
Christmas is just around the corner and my mind has been filled with appetizer ideas for the big day. Preparing the appetizer table has to be one of my favorite parts about entertaining. I like coming up with unique recipes that will entice people to try new things but be healthy enough for them to…
Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)
I have a weak spot for DIY chocolate bars. Given the popularity of the no bake homemade Twix bars I made for Halloween, I’d say that you all do too! The no bake version was made with a no bake cookie base, sunflower butter and medjool date caramel and allergen-free chocolate, but wasn’t safe for…
Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
I know what you’re thinking… ‘Brussels sprouts? Why would you waste a perfectly good post on Brussels sprouts?’ That’s a fair question. I don’t really like them either. That is unless they’re prepared using the recipe below or added to a grain-free veggie bowl like I did here. Maybe it’s all the roasted garlic, the…
Hot Apple Cider with Superfood Power!
I’m a Rocky Mountains girl through and through. The peaks draw me in with their magic, captivate me with their beauty and pull on my heart strings. I feel more at home in the shadow of a mountain than I do anywhere else in the world. When it came to decide where Mom, Dad, Christina…
Win $100 in Mika Yoga Wear
Thank you everyone for participating in this giveaway! A random winner has been selected, Julie DiCesare. Congratulations! While you can practice yoga in just about anything, wearing clothing that feels good; that bends and stretches with your body, keeps you cool and comfortable, just makes sense. What doesn’t make sense? Spending an arm and a…
Grain-free Christmas: Butter Tarts and Cinnamon Stars
< I love hearing Kevin talk about his childhood in Germany, especially the memories he has of Christmas. The traditions his family created during the holidays are so different from my own. The Christmas markets that one could visit for hours, visits from Christkind, children being kept from seeing the Christmas tree until the very…
