RECIPE: Raw Ranch Kale Chips

Our favorite ways to enjoy kale: lightly sauteed, thrown in a smoothie, salads and kale chips! The possibilities are endless when it comes to chip flavors and since we’ve been on a big…

REVIEW: January Favorites
We had a few highlights during January – a good bit of snow early in the month, took Willow to use her snowshoes for the first time AND we got our fireplace running! Which meant we were finally able to keep our house heated above 60°! Not even kidding, our house was freezing – I’m…

RECIPE: Parmesan Crusted Chickpeas
Anytime I’m able to sneak a little extra protein into Willow’s food, I do it. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about why we’re so protein obsessed and when it comes to Willow, we need to make sure she’s getting enough. Our naturopath concluded last year that Willow struggles with protein absorption, so her meals…

I recently tried a fruity energy bite from the store the other day and while I really enjoyed it, I was bummed that they added some unnecessary ingredients. I couldn’t get the idea out of my head, so I ran straight to the kitchen and began to run some trials. If you don’t like dates,…

RECIPE: Organic Hemp & Green Juice
We’ve been doing really well about drinking at least one green beverage a day – whether in smoothie form or juice. Today, I’m sharing one of my latest favorite juice combos!

REVIEW: Summer Favorites
Hello! Now that Labor Day has come and gone and kids are officially back to school tomorrow around here, it’s fall in my book! I had every intention of keeping up with monthly favorites, but this summer just got away from me. I kept track of the products I enjoyed and books I loved, so…

RECIPE: Iced Hazelnut Latte with Toffee Sauce Drizzle
Earlier this month, Vitacost alerted me that August is National Coffee Month! I was so overwhelmed with gratitude when so many of you made my Iced Tahini Mocha a few months ago, so I’m excited to share another coffee recipe with you. Last summer, I got hooked on drinking homemade iced lattes – more specifically, ones…

RECIPE: Golden Latte
Last year, I discovered this amazing line of turmeric teas by Numi Organic Tea. They’re one of the few tea companies out there who don’t use bleached tea bags or “natural” flavors – They’re always organic, non-GMO, fair trade and they use REAL fruits, flowers and spices. We’ve been buying this brand from Natural Grocers, but I know you…
