Read MoreHappy Sunday! Today I have a fun twist on an energy bite. Our family has been cutting out refined sugar this month, and oh how good I’ve been feeling on simply whole foods! But, from time to time it’s good to have a pick-me-up treat. And the good thing is that it can still be a treat WITHOUT the sugar. The trick? Dates. That’s all you need to give these the right amount of sweetness.
Read MoreI have a few thoughts regarding today's post.
First - I am obsessed with making these peanut butter bites. As in, I've been making them every Monday for the week and each morning pack FOUR in my bag for work. It's become a real problem. But on the flip side, I've been buying less RX Bars which are pricey, so maybe I am saving money?!

Read MoreI talk a lot on my blog about how a meal is so much a part of one's life. Without it, conversations would be lost. Memories forgotten. Because one dish can take you back in time. That meal may have a story.
Read MoreThe weekends go waaay too fast if you ask me. Working during the week, I've always cherished Saturdays and Sundays. But now with a little one, I cherish those days off like they are gold.
And then Sunday afternoon rolls around and I sadly have to start planning for the next day. Which for me, usually doesn't require much planning, because I'm horrible at meal prepping, and everything else I need to do to prepare for Monday I'll put off or never do.

Well, it's been HOT. And lately all that sounds good is something ice cold and fruity. So, bring on the fruit pops!
I make these popsicles tart with the lemon juice and slightly sweet with the peaches and honey. And I add in some summery basil for an herby kick. The perfect summer combination!
Read MoreHolidays are sweet, there is no doubt about that. But, the extra sugar can take a toll. On your mood, your concentration, your energy.
Which is why I sometimes just step away for a minute...
I'm about done with my November Whole30 challenge. It was over 2 years ago that I first started doing Whole30, inspired by my sister who was doing it at the time. It's been my way to re-charge as I enter the colder months. Omitting sugars, dairy and grains from my diet and focusing on whole foods. If you've done a Whole30 you know that after the month, you continue with it as a lifestyle, tweaking it to fit your own body. (Remember - we are all different and what works for one person may not work for the next!)
Read MoreI don't know about you, but I'm ready for the weekend already! So. Close.
To help get me (us) there, I have these fig-walnut squares. It's like a homemade snack bar or trail mix... without the added grains, oils, sugars and who-the-heck-knows what else.
Read MoreSomeone asked me the other day how I find the time to blog. Am I baking cookies and granola in the early mornings before work? No, I am not superwoman.
Although that does sound relaxing...
