We choose to nourish our body with real, Paleo food. We nourish our bodies by engaging in regular physical activity. Let’s not forget one really important thing- nourishing our spirits and our hearts, by ‘doing unto others’. Let’s keep in mind that not all of us can access fresh food or safe places to […]
Read More ›I know, carrots aren’t exactly the most exotic or exiting things to snack on, but just hear me out (can I still use that phrase if I’m writing?). Given that things are particularly busy (it’s crunch time in terms of last minute holiday things!), and given that cooking and food prep can often take a […]
Read More ›Just kidding… I had to throw it in there. After all, it is National Cover it in Chocolate Day. Yikes. To think of what people are going to come up with…you may have think you’ve seen it all once you’ve witnessed chocolate covered bacon, glanced at a package of chocolate covered kale chips, or checked […]
Read More ›Don’t get me wrong; in an ideal world, we’d all be going to our local farmer’s markets regularly and making cooking a daily part of our family’s routine. However, given the busy nature of everyone’s schedules these days, and even more so during the holidays, sometimes it makes sense to order out. And while I’m […]

Read More ›Eating, drinking and celebrating are only a part of the holidays…what about decorating? Taking the focus away from baking (or buying) treats and eating them and redirecting it to other festive activities can prove quite an effective tool for keeping spirits in the Christmas mood! Christmas trees, wreaths, door swag, mistletoe, pinecones and poinsettia plants […]
Read More ›While you might have a goal of losing ten pounds, fifteen pounds, or more, that in and of itself is not exactly a fun goal. Inherently, it conveys the words ‘diet’, ‘restriction’ and ‘deprivation’, none of which are exactly enticing at any time of year, let alone during the holidays. So rather than have the […]
Read More ›Feeling tempted by that peppermint mocha? Allured by the eggnog latte? I get it. I recall happy childhood memories of making eggnog during the holidays, whipping the eggs with a hand blender, suitable for a little girl to use, then topping it off with a dusting of freshly ground nutmeg. And who doesn’t like the […]
Read More ›Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you think you’re hungry, you’re actually just thirsty?
