It's Monday. We could always use a healthy kickoff to the week, especially if you maybe didn't behave as hoped over the weekend. Are you nodding along? Trainer me is making you...

The title of this post just makes me think of Freaky Friday. My nerdy love for alliteration takes over, yet again. I was thinking about naming this post Fried Freekeh, because...

Out of the problematic social phenomenons in our world, I think one of our worst is the lack of caring- or let me rephrase: the caring is there but for so long now we have been encouraged to play it cool and act blasé or indifferent. So when we're faced with actually showing feelings, we are paralyzed in fear of putting ourselves out there and actually revealing that we give a shit.

One of the early fall veggies is the carrot. I learned a lot more about this classic vegetable after speaking to the woman who I bought these awesome purple carrots from at...

I wasn't even sure I was going to do a post on the plank because the majority of people seem to be doing it nowadays and understanding that the crunch belongs in the 90's. But then I realized I still...

Up until about three years ago, I always thought fall and winter squashes other than pumpkins and butternut were for cute holiday decor, not for eating... Man was...

Not going to lie, it has been an arduous week. Things have been really busy. The busy-ness have been primarily from good things, but I certainly am...

Oh it's hump day, so why not post a treat. My momma has a bit of a sweet tooth and I usually make some form or another of a cake for her birthday every year. I started...

This is a sensation that pretty much everyone I know has felt- both men and women alike. But I would have to say that...

Okay, so this is a bit of an odd jam construction but it's way better for you and just as flavorful as those other jams dripping with cane sugar and added...

Fall=Pepper Palooza at the farmers market! This is the first season I'm really paying attention to the different varieties and there are so many that...

Stretching. You hear it's good for you, that you should do it to take care of your joints, so you don't get stiff, etc etc etc. This seemingly simplistic thing is actually far more complicated than people realize, and it...

We all know quinoa made its big splash as the hailed, gluten-free/protein dense healthy carb now about 2 years ago. But there are actually a TON of other awesome & healthy...

Classic basil pesto is also one of those things like guacamole- much simpler to make than originally thought, and seems way more intimidating than necessary. It is the...

Hello pumpkin season! I'm here to welcome you with some warm and crunchy pumpkin oat quinoa granola.

My favorite season has always been fall. I know some people are clinging onto the last days of summer, but it's officially September so I think I'm allowed to...

It's Friday! I still think of that Rebecca Black song whenever I say this now. Sad story, I know. I love the interwebs. You learn and see the strangest, funniest, and...

3 posts about figs is quite excessive, I know, I know. But the first was to learn how to cook them, then the yogurt bowl was just an easy breakfast for me, and then...

Juice cleanses, elimination diets, and overall health detoxes have been running rampant, particularly in the past few years. Everyone wants a quick fix to...
