Bai5 Raspberry Smoothie + Giveaway!

I am super excited to bring this post to you today, not only do I have a tasty smoothie to share with you, but thanks to Bai5, I also have a giveaway! The people at Bai5 reached out to me a month or so ago to see if I was familiar with their product and if I’d be interested in sampling several of their flavors, before creating a recipe, and hosting a giveaway for my readers…

Pumpkin Cranberry Granola with Soy Nuts + Giveaway!

Today I’m teaming up with The Soyfoods Council and Healthy Aperture to bring you a #SoyInspired Thanksgiving! I am so thrilled to be a part of a #SoyInspired Thanksgiving for multiple reasons, but among those reasons is that it gave me the nudge to do some much-overdue research on soy and it’s potential nutritional value…

Gluten Free Zucchini Chocolate Chunk Muffins

It’s Friday and I am SO very glad! We have entered into our “birthday season” between Josh’s and my family, and this weekend we will be celebrating my mom’s birthday. I can only imagine there will be both laughter and tears, and while the weekend will look different from the past, I’m so very grateful to have such a wonderful family, who will make the very most of the day and our time together…

Raw Lemon Poppy Seed Bites + New House

I’m sure food-blogger coaches or growth strategists would say I’m suppose to talk about these Raw Lemon Poppy Seed Bites, preferably in the first paragraph of my text…using key-words to help the recipe pull up better in search engines. No doubt, I should tell you about their cookie dough texture and how the natural sweetness from the honey contrasts perfectly the slight tartness from the lemon zest…

Blueberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Happy Tuesday! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad this particular Monday is over! We had a power outage due to storms that lasted over an hour and a half, then it was practically a monsoon the rest of the day. BUT, thankfully we {and our loved ones} survived the storms, and for that, I am truly grateful!…

Raw Carrot Cake Bites with Goat Cheese Icing

Okay, the truth is it’s 11:30 at night and I’m truly way too tired to be writing this, BUT regardless of the long day it’s been, these little Raw Carrot Cake Bites are so yummy, I simply have to get the recipe out!

If you’ve been a reader since the beginning {which wasn’t too long ago!} or you happened to read my About page, then you may know that I’m a full time Interior Designer working in high-end Residential Design in Nashville…

Chocolate Granola with Coconut Palm Sugar

Tonight we had the privilege of watching a free screening of the new movie About Time. I have to say that while I am a huge sucker for a chick-flick, I didn’t have high expectations for this one. And maybe that’s a little harsh to say, I was definitely looking forward to the movie (especially being that it was free) I just hadn’t heard much about it. And really, now that I’ve seen it, chick-flick puts this movie in a box that it doesn’t quite deserve, maybe indie drama would be better suited. Regardless, I am happy to say that I loved it. I laughed, I cried. It brought out so many emotions in me about family, love and life…

Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Breakfast Bars

I love Fall. I love the crisp Autumn mornings, love the smell of drying leaves, love wearing layers and scarves, love the idea of a bonfire with roasted marshmallows and s’mores, love to hike in the mountains and marvel at the changing colors, I could go on and on. And I guess I already have. But needless to say, Fall, much like many others, is my favorite time of the year. Which is why we chose this time of the year to visit Vermont…

Crunchy Granola with Flax and Sunflower Seeds

Oats, pecans, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, honey, and coconut oil, all baked to golden perfection? Yes please!

I am one of those people who eat the same thing every day for breakfast and never get tired of it. At least not for a very long time. Not to say that I don’t make small changes daily, but overall, it’s the same thing, everyday. And for me, that breakfast is greek yogurt, mixed berries, whole oats, bran flakes, flaxseed (sometimes Hemp or Chia seeds) and cinnamon…

Healthy Peanut Butter Cups

I do my best to eat healthy as much as possible. It just so happens that I love vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, etc – things which fortunately are good for me. Whether I have grown to like these things because they are good for me or if they are just what my taste buds crave, I’m not really sure. However, while I don’t care for fried food, greasy burgers or processed junk, I do love…and I mean LOVE sweets…

Beet Veggie Burger

Josh and I went to the Nashville Farmers Market this past Saturday to see what they had to offer in the way of local, all natural produce. We typically get all our groceries from Trader Joe’s, but want to make a better effort to support small farms in our community. We were a bit disappointed to find that there was little available in the way of organically (meaning no pesticides, food additives, genetically modified organisms, etc) grown fruits and vegetables. I realize that to farm this way is more difficult and time-consuming, which then results in typically more expensive goods – all things which present challenges for farmers to make the commitment to farm organically and sustainably. Still I couldn’t help but be surprised by the lack of organically grown options. In fact, more than one vendor/farmer was somewhat put-off when I asked how they grew their vegetables and whether or not they used pesticides…
