Most of the recipes you’ll find on my blog are “reimagined” Paleo or Whole30 versions of my favorite dishes. This week’s project – enchiladas. I’ve always been a fan of enchiladas, particularly if they’re the extra saucy variety. And although one may consider an enchilada a fairy simple & healthy dish – just meat, tortilla & sauce…
It’s National Women’s Health week so it was only fitting that I woke up on Monday feeling like a million bucks. Don’t you love it when that happens? I know exactly what it takes for me to wake up feeling well rested but I don’t always take the steps to achieve that end result. One…
BBQ sauce & summer go hand in hand and this recipe is another great way to utilize leftovers from my Crispy Crockpot Jalapeno Pork Carnitas. I love BBQ sauce just as much as the next guy but the more I experimented with my diet the more I realized the sensitivity I have to sugar, and…
Cindo De Mayo has come & gone, but it’s never too late for nachos. We decided to bypass the crowds on Friday, instead opting for Cajun at one of our favorite restaurants here in Northern Colorado. And although I did order a margarita on Cinco De Mayo, the lack of some hearty Mexican food on…
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Street tacos? Me too! The one thing I miss about living in Nebraska is our favorite taco joint. When Will was living in Lincoln during law school, we found this hole in the wall Mexican joint that sold the…
The more comfortable I’ve gotten with my clean eating lifestyle, the more I’ve started to incorporate other natural products into my daily routines. For me, food is my anchor.

I feel like a Basic B, for lack of a better word, when taking a picture of my Acai bowl in our local juice shop as it’s usually filled with other girl’s in Birkenstocks & Iphones doing the exact same thing. Sometimes at 30 years old, I think I’m too old to be “one of…
Eating healthy while traveling can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. I hate to admit it due to its negative connotations, but I’m a millenial (gasp!) and it is no secret that our generation likes to indulge. What can I say? I definitely fall into that indulgent stereotype that has been slapped onto our age group. It’s very…
Who out there has done the “eat chicken, steamed veggie & brown rice diet”- I am sure that is not the official name but anyone that has dieted in the last 20 years knows what I’m talking about. It’s definitely a healthy option that consists of protein, veggies & grain- but how boring! Am I right?…
Warning: These almonds may lead to addiction because Holy Crap! They. Are. Good. Let’s talk snacks. I have always been a compulsive snacker and in an upcoming post I’m working on I’ll explain how I began to understand that I was reaching for snacks out of habit vs hunger. In my journey to food freedom, I have…
