Millennial Avocado Toast

We’ve all read the article claiming millennials “can’t afford to buy homes because they’re too busy buying avocado toast.” And as a millennial, I say, actually, we can’t buy homes because they’re expensive AF and we don’t get paid enough to keep up with the price of living in today’s society. Anyway – this post …

Fall Dip

Pink ladies, grannies, McIntosh, OH MY! So many choices, so little time 😉 Apples and fall go together like peanut butter and jelly. Except I’m not a PB&J fan (blame it on the sweet and salty), so apples and peanut butter go together like wine and cheese. I love this snack because the prep takes …

Summer Dream Overnight Oats

I was sitting here trying to come up with a name for these oats…strawberries & cream, peaches & cream, berries & cream, summer cream…then I realized that sounded too dirty, but I liked the word summer since it’s using summer fruits, so summer dream stuck, and here we gooo… Melody [@melody.tiu] via Instagram challenged me …

Sippin’ on Springtime

In San Diego this weekend our temps are set to break records being in the high 80s. Todays is absolutely STUNNING, and with my garden blooming, the sun shining, and an ocean breeze swaying through the doors, I was compelled to whip up this it’s-five-o-clock-somewhere afternoon cocktail. I’ve never met a combo that screams a summer afternoon with …

(which is one of my favorite cookbooks). JACKSON HOLE CHICKEN Ingredients: 1 package organic, boneless chicken cutlets (or chicken breast cut into …

Weekly Fitness Tracker: Final Week of LYB Series & Rumps and Stumps, Week 2

Hiiii pretties! So sorry for the slight hiatus the past two weeks and my weekly fitness trackers being MIA. I had a family emergency & was out of town with lots of life on my plate that came first. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my fitness journey thus far, it’s that it is …

Protein Sources

A big question for those not taking protein supplements/powders, or vegetarians/vegans participating in the Ten Day Trim is “What other sources of protein do you recommend instead of ___ or ____?” I’ve always known the “obvious” protein choices; beans, nut butters, raw nuts, eggs, chicken, quinoa…but for vegans, that list is still pretty limited. I learned …

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe…Organic Pouches who are the Best in Show…

I recently posted a picture on my fitness Instagram where I shared my love for the organic pouches hitting the baby (errrr busy/traveling/running out the door mama) market by storm. I don’t know why it took me nearly ten months to figure out I can order these in bulk off Amazon, but thank God I …
