Rocky Road Donuts + Strawberry Ginger Donuts (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
I woke up to a tiny human asking if we could make donuts this morning, and after a long and stressful week, of course my answer was YES. I love that Tan values a slow morning at home playing with 16283 of his "favorite toys," playing outside, watching a show, and helping be my sous …
Gluten Free + Healthy Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Toasted Coconut + Apple Cinnamon
Last night the air was crisp, Tanner and I cleaned up our front yard and put a few Halloween decorations out, and this morning there’s a beautiful ocean breeze blowing ambiance of fall through the air and through our house. With all that nostalgia, it was time the scent of pumpkin spice filled our home as …
Functional Fitness Must-Have Gear
When it comes to functional-fitness, let’s be real, the gear is almost just as important as your WOD time or a weight-lifting PR. HYLETE performance apparel is one of my all time fav lines for fitness + lifestyle clothing, accessories and more (think backpacks, headbands, crops, shorts, tanks, crew-necks, tanks, towels, yada yada yada!) Their men …
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 …

Organic Produce Shopping
Organic… to save or not to save, that is the question. Money AND your health, that is. It’s no secret that buying organic can often be significantly more expensive than those “regular ‘ol fruits and veggies.” However, a healthy heart, body, and mind thanks to less/safer pesticides should always be at the top of your grocery list. photo, …
DONUTS, DONUTS, DONUTS…that are, ahem, healthy(er)
I live for relaxing Sunday mornings; snuggled up in bed with a book and tea…heaven. Wait, who’s life is that? Because it’s not mine…I have a two and a half year old, soooo that doesn’t happen 😉 BUT, I do live for my snuggly Sunday mornings with my little muchkin, although they don’t involve curling …
Chicken Zoodle “Chow Mein”

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 …
