I re-posted a delicious green bowl from someone I follow on Instagram last week, but it was definitely a little more ingredient and process intensive than the women I work with have time for. Soooo.... In an effort to keep it simple and change up the morning smoothie ritual, here is a hormone balancing green bowl you can whip up and devour in less than 10 minutes! 1/2 cup almond coconut … [Read more...]
Make Ahead Quinoa Veggie Bowl
There are no excuses, ladies... and there is nothing like keeping it simple when the weeks are busy but you need to stay healthy (and if you're a mom, May is BUSY!). When schedules are full, we tend to put ourselves last, stop planning our meals, and just grab whatever is handy. If you know this is your tendency, take a little time on Sundays to make "handy" food (and the concept below is so … [Read more...]
Add Cabbage To Your Easter Recipes
Moment of truth: I don't love salad. Yes, I said it, and it felt good! The biggest reason I drink green smoothies and green juice is that I just don't love eating salad. When you order salad at a restaurant, half the time it's iceberg lettuce covered with croutons and dressing. Making a salad at each meal just seems tedious. I can easily whip up a batch of green smoothies to last 3-4 days, … [Read more...]
Homemade Macadamia Cashew Milk + A Bonus!
I'm lazy when it comes to food and drink prep. I have a LOT of things to squeeze into a day, just like most other people (especially moms!). So, am I going to make almond milk then strain it through cheese cloth to remove all of the unprocessed pieces? No. Plus, I don't love almond milk anyway. I really don't even love almonds (even though they are good for me). But what I do love are … [Read more...]
Peachy Beet Salad
Growing up I was NOT a fan of the beet (usually served all mushy and pickled at my Grandmother's-- sorry Grandmother, but GAG). I think there are a lot of people who share my beet experience. But over the past year I have had delicious beet salads served at amazing restaurants, have juiced beets for a healthy snack, ate delectable roasted yellow beets made by my friend the chef, and now, I have … [Read more...]

Veggies with Braggs Liquid Aminos
Sunday night I chopped up squash, zucchini, broccoli, orange bell pepper, garlic, (total timesaver for Monday night dinner!) and marinated it all in Braggs liquid aminos all night-- then I sautéed and served over white arborio rice... Getting hungry just thinking about it! For anyone who doesn't know about Braggs liquid aminos- it's the perfect soy sauce alternative! All Moodiness, Tawny … [Read more...]
Strawberry Macadamia Spread
I took one of my favorite Kimberly Snyder savory recipes and sweetened it up with strawberries and agave for my little munchkins. I have to be real with you-- my 2 yr. old L O V E D it. The older two picky eaters- not so much. They always know when I am trying to sneak in healthy stuff... puts them on guard! But this is really is good, super easy, and it's kind of like strawberry cream cheese … [Read more...]

Sometimes I venture out and make up my own things, but most of the time I don't have time to reinvent the wheel! So here is one I think you should put on your "to make" list! Zucchini and Rice Gratin … [Read more...]
