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 ...

Baba Ganoush
I started making baba ganoush when I did my first Whole30. At the time, I was obsessed with hummus and had no idea how I would go an entire 30 days without my favorite dip. It was a serious problem. I did a little research and found that baba ganoush was a similar style dip, but instead of chickpeas, it is made with roasted eggplant. At that time there were not as many “Whole30” approved ...
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, ...

I know what you're thinking...."Make my own ketchup? Is she nuts?! Who has time for that!" Follow me here for a moment. I am not a ketchup lover.

I'm now making regular batches of this goodness and ...

Oven-Roasted Green Beans Two Ways
When it comes the the holidays, sides are just as important as the main dish, right? I think so, too. That's why when I was working up a healthier alternative to green bean casserole for my Thanksgiving menu, I crafted up two recipes. And since I couldn't decide which was better - why not do both? I knew I wanted to incorporate almonds, so I grabbed a bag of Trader Joe's pre-cut green beans ...
Wild Rice with Pecans + Craisins
Fall reminds me of warm, hearty dishes shared around the table with family. Sounds cheesy, (I know) but this recipe encapsulates all those fall feelings. Serve it up as a side for a casual dinner with a friend or serve at your Thanksgiving table! This recipe is super versatile, and the best news of all? It only requires three ingredients! ...
“Cream” of Mushroom Soup
It's starting to finally feel a little like fall in Atlanta and that means it’s officially soup season! There is nothing like a savory, hot, creamy cup of soup, but sometimes it can leave you feeling heavy and lethargic. I thought I'd look for an alternate solution. While I am not lactose intolerant, since I did Whole30 I still like to play around with lacto free recipes! Y’all, this one is to die ...
