Every so often, you just have to have Mac and Cheese. If that Mac and Cheese could also be pretty darn good for you AND super Yummy, well, how do you say no? Thi recipe started as a Pasta Carbonara recipe. One day, I had the revelation that it could easily be converted to it’s cheesier cousin. And so it began…
Read MoreI LOVE the Human Body with all of its mysteries and intricacies. New products and science are always coming down the pipe and it's hard to know what to read, where to spend your dollars, and when to focus your energy. I thought it would be helpful to show you just FIVE things I'm loving each month. Maybe a recipe, or a book, or an exercise or stretch..... Maybe a product, or a podcast, or a restaurant or venue. I'm giving you ONE THING in each of the areas of our Four Cornerstones or Health, plus a bonus. I hope you'll try them in your life and find a benefit for you!
Read More. January is a perfect time to focus on nourishment because the seasonal foods available this time of year are perfectly placed to support better digestion and detoxification.
These goals and this mindset are best achieved inside your own home where you prepare the meals and come together with family and friends to enjoy it. That sounds a lot harder than it has to be. Meals don’t have to be elaborate or time consuming to be delicious! Here are my best Seasoning Hacks to get you in and out of the kitchen pronto with food your family will be talking about for days!!
Read MoreThis recipe is easy to make and easy to double or triple. When you make it, do a big batch and freeze half of the formed burger balls for another night. We show you how to make this part of a great week of meals HERE... 1.5 lbs ground meat ( I like 1 lb grass fed ground beef and 1/2 lb ground pork from our free range pig)
Read MoreOur life is really busy with two kids and running the gym! Saturdays, I work in the morning. So, I only do a little prep on Saturday as I don't want it to take away from family time. Most meal prep for us is done on Sundays. I like to wake up before everyone else and have some alone time to do the majority of it. The rest I do throughout the day. So here goes... See How to make it happen during the week HERE!

Read MoreThis is a yummy addition to the meal rotation! Make the filling on the weekend and then it's a snap to finish it off for dinner.
Read MoreThis recipe can be done in the Crock pot or you could do it in a cast iron skillet with a lid (place it in the oven for 4 hours at 280*). The herbs and the heavy cream lend flavor and moisture to meats that might otherwise be dry, like pork chops or chicken breasts.
Read MoreThis is not a traditional Ropas Viejas. Hell, I can’t even pronounce that right. So, who am I to claim I’m making it right? I can verify that it is delicious and that it can be made in an InstantPot, a Crock Pot, or (my favorite) a Dutch Oven and I’ll explain how to do it for each.
Read MoreYucca Fries…. it’s where it’s at!! If you want to wow your family and friends, replace your usual potato standby with these. The yucca is just so so so yummy and crisp. You can use this sriracha sauce for a quick dip or take a little more time to make some Awesome Sauce.
Read MoreAwesome Sauce is something we put on EVERYTHING- Chicken, Yucca Fries, Steak Lettuce Wraps…. Really, it’s good on everything.
Read MoreThis is a new FAVORITE!! I made this last week when I was invited to a Middle Eastern Feast. I had no idea what to bring, like not a clue. So I reviewed a few recipes and this is the resulting recipe. It is so delicious and the warm flavors would pair so good with a winter squash soup or the Stuffed Acorn Squash.
Read More"What do I need to do?" She asked. "Vegan, Paleo, Keto? I can do whatever for a while. Should I juice? I mean, really. Whatever I need to do... I'll have a cheat day, right? We did Whole 30 last year but I got bored with it and fell off the rails. Can I have pasta on my cheat day?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Read MoreAs much as I like adventure, I also love repetition. Right now, every Wednesday is pizza night. I use the Fat Head Pizza Crust ( the almond flour recipe). I always top it with homemade pesto, mushrooms, onions, roasted garlic and sliced tomatoes. Then I use whatever meat is leftover- grilled chicken, brisket, pulled pork. The key to Fathead Pizza Crust success?? A Pizza Stone and execution!!
Read MoreEveryone likes a satisfying and sweet treat sometimes. I like recipes that allow me to say YES when my kids ask, too. These peanut butter cups have a ton of good stuff going on!
Read MoreI hide all sorts of good, healthy stuff in these! So I don’t care how many my kids eat… or if it is ALL they eat. This snack is a great balance of fats, proteins, and carbs to avoid blood sugar crashes and they taste like chocolate… how can you go wrong there???
Read MoreThis has, by far, been the most popular recipe I have ever put out there. It uses no additional sweetener of any kind and no grain flour. Everyone who tastes it wants me to make them one…. but I prefer to empower you!
