Did you have a good weekend? We had initially planned to go to Calaway Park, but it ended up raining all weekend so we decided to stay home and organize the house! Sounds much better than going to a theme park, right? *rolls eyes* It’s amazing how much stuff a person can accumulate over the…
Happy Monday, all! How was your long weekend? Ours was fabulous. Very long, relaxing, and chocolate filled, just as I suspected. The Easter bunny stopped by Sunday morning, delivering far more chocolate than I know what to do with. I was impressed to find little treat bags tied with bright green bows. The bunny sure…
This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad I find that I am a lot more excited to prepare a big salad everyday when I have a fun and exciting homemade dressing to depend on.

On top of using arnica gel and epsom salt baths, I’ve been adding flax oil [omega-3] in absolutely everything to help with my overall inflammation. Any additional…

I have a confession to make… I hate veggies. Wait, no… that’s a little too drastic. I just hate boring veggies. I’m not one to be seen snacking on a carrot unless it’s loaded with hummus. You’ll never have to worry about me stealing a slice of your cucumber. Wait, is that salt & pepper…

Problem is I get bored with salad dressings very quickly so I’m always trying to switch things up to keep it exciting. Creamy honey dijon, creamy…
