Healthy Lettuce Wraps

My neighbor and I decided it’s time to detox away our shenanigans, so this entire week we’re following (and being guinea-pig testers) of a new healthy eating 5-day plan by Seashells and Sit Ups. Today, Monday, was day one, and the dinner menu was healthy lettuce wraps. I was just expecting them to be okay since I …

Gratitude to YOU, my Readers, AND the HUFFINGTON POST FEATURE

When I first started Seashells & Sit Ups, I thought no one would read my blog, no one would follow me on Instagram (and I kept it all super secret so they couldn’t; it was like my second life I did for me – to be happy and feel free from judgement, gossip, and criticism)… I …

Modern Mama Mother’s Day Gift Guide

  Being a modern mama in my late 20s, my friends consider me a fun mom, and I’d like to agree. It doesn’t mean Tanner and I just folic all over without a care in the world, as much as I wish that were true. Being a “cool” mama, means you have your sh&^ together and hustle to …

Organic Produce Shopping

Organic… to save or not to save, that is the question. Money AND your health, that is.

Roasted Chickpeas

Anything has me at food love at first sight/sound if I see + hear it involves roasted + spicy. Swoon. Like these spicy roasted garbanzo beans pictured above by my dear friend at Oh Darling, Let’s Be Healthy…I meannnn…yes, please! “A half cup of garbanzo beans provides 143 calories and 27 grams of carbs, your …

Garlic Artichoke Two-Bean Hummus

So, I’ve basically been living under a rookie culinary rock the past….lifetime…because I’ve never made my own hummus. I KNOW, shameful for a food + lifestyle blogger. don’t.judge.me. The only thing that’s ever held me back from making hummus myself is honestly the food processor. I’m still scarred from making a massive batch of cauliflower …

Healthy Cinnamon Apple Crisp with Toasted Coconut and Cinnamon Drizzle

When you’re craving an apple crisp and want to challenge yourself to go totally rogue and make it from scratch, with no clue if it’s going to work or not, you take a risk of either creating magic, or a total baking fail. Good thing for you and I both, it wasn’t a fail, and is, …

#WineWednesday Prep Anyone?!

DID SOMEONE SAY WINE? Or that #WineWednesday is tomorrow?! Because I definitely heard that! If you’re sitting here reading this and don’t know that every Wednesday is unofficially #WineWednesday, are you okay? Like are you happy in life? Can I help get you some hook-ups and cheers with you to make everything all better and celebrate …
