Fudgy Nut + Seed Brownies
It’s hard to write about your friend’s work and try to hide the fact that you’re friends. So I’m not going to hide it…Laura Wright is my friend, and she wrote a really special book (The First Mess Cookbook). And I’m about to brag about her and the book because I love it so much. […]
Not Being Good At Everything + Spring Leek Soup From The New Love & Lemons Cookbook
A really good friend of mine has a website that’s fully made and all ready to go. It’s got an awesome name and concept. She has incredible posts written. She’s secured all the social handles to go along with it. But it’s been over a year since we first talked about it, and she still hasn’t hit the […]
Open Adoption & What That Means On This Mother’s Day
As D and I started the adoption process, I was on board for everything that was about to happen… A baby that might not look like us? Totally cool. The uncertainty of knowing when that baby might come? No rush. Doing lots of paperwork? I love filling out forms! But then the whole “open adoption” topic came up, and […]
3-Ingredient Face Mask From Skin Cleanse
No, that’s not a bowl of guacamole. I mean, you could eat it like guacamole if you wanted to. Throw a chip in there and go wild. But it’s actually a face mask. A face mask that you can eat? Yes. How cool is that? Really cool. And it’s all because of Adina Grigore’s new book, […]
YumUniverse’s Dark Chocolate, Sweet Potato & Black Bean Brownies + A Book Giveaway!
I’m a huge fan of YumUniverse and Heather Crosby. She’s smart. She’s a cooking whiz. She’s cool (she’s the guest on this week’s podcast, so tune in Thursday and you’ll see what I mean). Heather is all about whole foods and feeding your body the good stuff. She knows that changing your diet can be […]
Letting Go Of Numbers and Counting On You.
A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine posted an Instagram about a new product she’s launching. She was so excited to tell the world about the new creative project she’s been working so hard on. And that post got around 40 likes. She called me and told me she was having reservations about the […]
Why It’s Ok Not To “Meditate” & A Veggie Caesar Salad
I’ve got a lot on my brain right now. I’m adopting a baby for one (!!) and have some major stuff about to launch with OPP (excited for you to see). Mostly awesome things, but lots of ideas constant swirling and sometimes it can get the best of me. And if I have to hear […]
Dealing With Healing + Black Eyed Peas, Fennel, and Dill Salad
About a month ago, I expressed some concern about my weight to my doctor. I haven’t weighed myself since my (long ago) Weight Watchers days and I’ll always be a curvy girl…but I knew that with how well I eat + my daily workouts, that something was up. And I really wasn’t feeling like me. […]
Babes In Plantland: Monica Royer of Monica + Andy
So I don’t have kids (yet?). But when I think about having them, I don’t dream about how I’ll decorate the nursery or even what school they’ll go to…I wonder what they’ll eat. Can I have a plant-based kid? Will they be down with green juice too? And then a couple of weekends ago, I […]
One Ingredient, Five Ways: Lemons
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – one of my dreams in life is to have a lemon tree in my backyard. To be able to wake up and pluck a little yellow dude to start the day would be so awesome. Before I changed my diet, I bought lemons maybe once […]
