We all love pasta but my stomach does not! The carbs and sauces that usually go together in a pasta dish just don’t sit well with me. But hallelujah there is a vegetable that acts and looks JUST like pasta- the spaghetti squash! This is a true comfort dish that is warm and cheesy and amazing!

Are these as satisfying as real fries? Do they taste like real fries? Nope. But they are delicious!

And easy to make! They are great for leftovers and can be eaten warm or cold with some hummus!

Start by peeling whole carrots and chopping into “frie size” pieces.

I must have chocolate in my life. Take away wine, salty snacks, dairy- anything else. But I just need a little bit of chocolate. And I love any little snack that’s just ready to go. Protein balls are one of my favorite little snacks. These are gluten free and dairy free. I made these in my mini food processor, but you could even use a vitamix.

These take a few ingredients, but once you have these ingredients on hand, it’s easy to throw these together.

I named this recipe Repeat Muffins, because you WILL make them on repeat. We have made these almost weekly for many years. All my babies have stood on little stools and tasted the batter, while “helping” me measure and stir. They still love to help and their favorite part is adding the honey (so they can lick their little fingers) and spooning the mixture into the muffin tin. I have learned to choose one child first to crack the egg, or there is mass fighting:)

I love brunch, breakfast, breakfast for dinner..all of the above! Anything with eggs and some kind of breakfast meat! I love veggie scrambles…making a frittata takes a bit more time but also gives you delicious breakfast all week (or whatever time of day you choose to eat it- you do you!)

I’m always looking for filling meals with a carb, protein, and fat- and here it is!

I know I don’t get enough veggies every day! These stuffed sweet potatoes are delicious and you won’t even realize you’re getting a huge serving of veggies- because they taste so good!

This soup is SO delicious and easy to make if you have a high powered blender, like a vitamix.

I wanted to share a recipe that LOOKS very impressive but it so easy! A whole roasted chicken. And this recipe makes your house smell so delicious! If you’ve never cooked a whole chicken before, look for the little chicken that looks like a thanksgiving turkey but is much smaller.

Health/wellness are big words right now. I don’t want to just add to the noise. But I do have a passion for all things wellness- in mind, body, and spirit. My world has been shaken more than ever before in my life the last few years. And I’ve learned what it means to be healthy, and very unhealthy- in all three areas. I’m hoping this space becomes a place where I can share things I’ve learned- both in hard ways and in fun ways.
