  • A Cruelty-Free Day of Thanks

    A Cruelty-Free Day of Thanks

    Let me start by saying that this post contains ZERO judgment or graphic animal cruelty videos. We are all at different states of awareness and rather than taking an extremist route by showing you heartbreaking clips or breaking down the cruelty (how it’s done), I’m going to share heartwarming stories, videos, and celebrate the brave…

  • Simple Breakfast Potatoes

    Simple Breakfast Potatoes

    Breakfast.  My favorite meal of the day and honestly, I could eat breakfast-y foods all day long – there’s a sense of comfort that comes along with them. For the last few weeks, I’ve been obsessed with these breakfast potatoes – they’re savory, full of flavor, and satisfying. They’re also super versatile! I’m sharing a…

  • Pumpkin Tapioca Pudding

    Pumpkin Tapioca Pudding

    Are you tired of pumpkin recipes? Not yet? Good! Because I have an insanely easy recipe for you today. I almost didn’t share it because it is so easy and tapioca pudding isn’t anything new, but my family enjoys this so much that I decided to type up a little post for it. I meant…

  • REVIEW: October Favorites 

    Happy November, friends!! Between Josh’s ever changing schedule (including a handful of overnight shifts) and someone using my personal info to book hotels in Japan, I’d say we had an interesting last month! Haha!! I had to hurry and change both my email address and phone number which is not fun to do…notifying everyone and…

  • Savory Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

    This time time of year is my absolute favorite – cooler weather, all the wonderful varieties of squash, and lots of soup! I used to always start my day with a smoothie, but these days I’ve traded it in for a bowl of hot soup. Not only is it comforting, but it’s also a great…

  • Baked Cinnamon Mini Donuts {AIP, Vegan}

    Baked Cinnamon Mini Donuts {AIP, Vegan}

    Just when I thought gluten-free baking had its tricky moments, I dove head first into the grain-free, nut-free baking world and it is 100 times harder than I thought! So many failed attempts with either gummy textures or mushy. Upon researching, I learned that AIP baked goods, more often than not, produce a different texture…

  • Etsy News!

    Etsy News!

    Hello, friends! I’ve received quite a few emails regarding my Etsy shop – I chose to close it during my healing process, but I’m happy to report that after two months, it’s reopen with some new and improved items. I have reformulated all of my body butters to include raw, organic cacao butter for an…

  • REVIEW: September Favorites 

    REVIEW: September Favorites 

    Happy (almost) October, my beautiful friends! I hope you’re having a lovely fall so far. We had a pretty warm September – filled with lots of playing outside (mostly digging in the dirt) and when we weren’t outside, we spent time coloring and doing puzzles. Willow’s latest obsession is puzzles and not just the big,…

  • What I Eat in a Day {AIP}

    What I Eat in a Day {AIP}

    Since starting the AIP diet, everyone keeps asking me, “what the heck do you actually eat???” I’ve had to eliminate SO many of my staples – everything from black pepper, baking powder, and curry to bell peppers and tomatoes…and the obvious nuts and grains. My diet over these last two weeks have consisted of A…

    RECIPE: Sunshine Smoothie Bowl

    Hello, friends! Before I dive into this recipe, I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all of the supportive comments on my previous post – means so much to me. I was shocked at how well it was received and even more shocked to learn how many others are in the same boat.…
