It’s official, I’m addicted to kelp noodles. Since buying my first pack on Upaya Naturals, I’ve come up with a couple of tasty ways to enjoy these low calorie, thyroid supporting noodles. I’ve made countless batches of 150 calorie (and 15 minute) ginger chicken kelp noodle soup, tried toasting them in the oven for a…
Yesterday I told you about all the cleansing foods I’ve been craving this week. I compared the bodies’ natural detox patterns to trees shedding their leaves in the fall, and we enjoyed a bowl of glorious green soup. But I kinda left a small detail out of the story and it’s time I let it…
I’ve been craving greens, fish, and fresh fruit like no one’s business this week! I’ve had my fair share of 15 minute salmon cakes, BBQ kale chips, and various fruit salads. Right around this time every year, our bodies go into a natural detox cycle (similar to what we experience in the spring). We gravitate…
Saturday was the day of running around like a crazy person. I slept in by accident, tripped over my gym bag, stubbing my toe in the process, lost my toothbrush (how does that even happen?) and spilled a carton of almond milk on the carpet. By the time I got to the gym at 11am…
Have you ever looked in your freezer and realized that you’ve created quite the collection of random meat, gluten-free flours, frozen fruit, and nuts/seeds? That’s the story of my life right now. Everywhere I turn there are unopened bags of products that I’d purchased months before with the intention of using, or under the assumption…

I’m proud to introduce you to my new best friend, The kelp noodle. Just like the package says – healthful, delicious, easy to prepare, and fun to eat! You just can’t go wrong with this noodle! For those of you who have no clue what kelp is, let me break it down for you. Kelp…
When I shared my Fall training plan with you, I’d mentioned that I was hoping to switch up my diet to support a quicker race pace. I knew in order to do this, it would come down to two things: Shed fat Build lean muscle mass In a healthy way. No protein bars, no calorie…
I’m a huge fan of roasted vegetables. They’re easy, versatile, flavorful and make for amazing leftovers. You can blend them with chickpeas to make hummus, add them to a salad, eat them plain, or stick them in between 2 slices of gluten-free bread for a quick sandwich. They must have known I was coming, because…
Hubba, hubba, dairy-free recipes! But before we get to that… How is it already Sunday? And, the last weekend in September? Weekends have Life is just flying by. I spent most of the day yesterday running around the city. I took pictures throughout my travels to make the day a bit more enjoyable. After heading…
