Can I get an Amen for cauli-crust? Pre-packaged cauliflower pizza crust was one of the biggest game-changers for us in 2017. In case you're not familiar, cauliflower pizza crust is a low-carb alternative to traditional whole-wheat pizza crust. Although our homemade cauliflower pizza crust definitely takes the cake, this pre-made crust from Trader Joe's is nice to have in a pinch. When it ...

Leftover Salmon Cakes
I have to admit. I think I would be really great on chopped. OK, maybe not the timed part (those of you who know me can attest), which I guess is most of the challenge. But as far as using ingredients given to you and being creative with food, that is where i thrive. Perhaps thrive is not the word as sometimes I fail miserably, but that is where I have the most fun. Anyone can go into a grocery ...
Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles (Whole30 + Paleo)
This recipe was inspired by the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles that my grandmother, Nana, makes for family gatherings. They're usually one of my favorite things on the table -- buttery, salty, sweet, and so bacon-y that you forget there are green beans in there. It sure is delicious, but no one ever said it was good for you. This year for Thanksgiving, I decided to try whipping up a ...
Sheet Pan Salmon + Asparagus
I don’t know about y’all, but it seems like 2018 has been a busy, busy year so far. Between work, weddings, and whatever else fills my daily schedule I have just felt like I have been go-go-go. Planning healthy meals, unfortunately, has taken the back burner on my list of priorities. When I get busy, I eat poorly, but when I eat poorly, I have less energy to keep up with my busy schedule. I know ...
Beet, Ginger, + Apple Martini
A gorgeous, healthful martini made with fresh beet, apple, and ginger juice. Make this at home with a blender and a strainer! No fancy juicer required. Most beautiful martini award goes to this beet, ginger, and apple martini! Not only is this martini gorgeous, I actually felt great drinking it. It tasted similar to a beet juice you might snag at your local juice bar with some vodka tossed in. ...
Grapefruit + Avocado Salad
I have such fond memories of this salad. My grandmother has been making this salad as a side for our family Christmas every year since I can remember. As a kid I don’t think I appreciated the culmination of textures and citrus flavors that excite your tastebuds, but as a young adult and into my twenties I have looked forward every year to this Grapefruit + Avocado Salad. The pairing of the tangy ...
Roasted Beet, Fennel + Citrus Salad
Citrus, beets and fennel - you might think the individual ingredients are too individually bold to work well together, but in reality, when paired together, they balance each other out so well! The acid from the citrus helps to balance out the sweetness of the beets. I love this recipe from The Splendid Table that also incorporates fennel. Fennel helps to brighten the beet flavor. Roasting ...
Infused Water Three Ways
Need a detox post-Super Bowl party? We've got you covered with three variations on infused water! We've partnered with TEN Spring Water to bring you some fresh ideas to reach your daily H2O intake. The first is a delicious citrus infusion. I opted to infuse my water with grapefruit, lemon, and lime, but you can choose any or all of the above. Highly recommend the grapefruit though. It's ...
Coconut Chicken Tender Salad (Whole30 + Paleo)
This coconut chicken tender salad is an easy week-night dinner that packs up well for lunch the following day. It's such a refreshing and filling meal, and one you can feel great about eating! Side bonus: if you have kids who are picky eaters, you can eat the chicken tenders and berries over greens, and they can eat the meal sans greens! I love coconut-crusted tenders and coconut shrimp at ...
Apricot Energy Balls
I am loving the clean eating fad! I feel great when I’m eating whole, unprocessed food; however, it’s not always convenient to eat this way on the road (or in the friendly skies). As a flight attendant, I love foods that travel well and I can take with me! I do a lot of meal prep before a trip and typically I only eat foods that I have brought with me. This saves calories and money, and generally, ...
