Vegan Sour cream & Chive Bacon Kale Chips
Oh.my.kale. Kale is one of those foods that many people shy away from because it’s green, looks like seaweed, and tastes funny on it’s own. Or, wait, that’s why I used to shy away from it. But nonetheless, there have to be others that feel that way, right? I was a kale hater until I…
Corn-free Nachos with Tasty Toppings + Mojito Drops Dessert
I may or may not be on a major Mexican kick right now. I can’t seem to get guacamole + fresh salsa in my tummy fast enough. In school, we learned quickly that when we didn’t know the answer to a question like, “list 5 foods that have Vitamin E”, or “List 3 foods that…
Strawberry Cinnamon Shortcake Sandwiches
I swear this totally constitutes as a breakfast item. Before I started the blog I wasn’t fully aware of my love for breakfast. Now that I have a recipe page that documents my daily eats, it’s clear to see that early morning eating is the way to my heart. Shortcakecut to my heart? These little…
Sleepy Raspberry Lemon Poppy Seed Smoothie
I wish I could say that I’ve played an instrumental role in the building of our fence, but I’d be lying. Although I did cook up some mean deer sausages for Kevin last night, so that has to count for something. …. right? I can’t believe how much they’ve gotten done in just 4 days….
I am Fit
I was blown away with the amount of feedback all of you left on Saturday’s positive affirmations project post. Some included: Chelsea: I believe in myself everyday and on days I don’t it’s only because I know I’m not pushing myself to be my best. When that happens I get up and do something about…
Pumpkin Pesto Pasta + Grapefruit Cranberry Fizz
We had quite the productive weekend! Kevin has been working with our neighbors on our many ongoing backyard projects. By the end of the week we should have a fence, full deck [with stairs!], grass, trees, and a fire pit! Before: Progress: Stopping for a much needed Corona. I couldn’t be more excited to finally…
Positive Affirmations
It wasn’t until recently that I noticed how often I spoke down to myself. From thinking I wasn’t good enough, that I couldn’t accomplish the task at hand, or that someone was better than me. I told myself these things without a second thought. Negativity and self sabotage had become such a huge part of…
Healthier (and cheaper) Iced Cappuccino
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, then you know that I don’t necessarily support the amount of coffee our society drinks. At over 400 billion cups consumed per year, coffee is the most popular drink in the world. Sadly, it shouldn’t be like this. In large amounts, coffee… reduces fertility. More than one…
Supplements: Essential vs. Nice-to-have
A bunch of you have asked what my supplement regime is, so I thought it’d be fun to talk about supplements as a whole and delve into the ones I use and why. As much as I’d love to believe that money grows on trees, it doesn’t. So when it comes to having a conversation…
Dinner in 10: Jalapeno Chicken Quesadilla
How is it June already? Are you enjoying the same nice weather that we’ve been having these last couple of days? I am so happy I ended up extending my vacation by a couple of days in hopes of getting caught up on things. I’ve been busy cleaning the house, putting away laundry [it never…
