  • Netflix Review: What the Health

    Netflix Review: What the Health

    To be honest, I have been avoiding doing this review. The first time I tried to watch ‘What the Health, I got no more than five minutes in. I was skeptical. It didn’t take me long to realize that this documentary had an agenda – and I wasn’t sure it would be, for me, worth…

  • Make it Happen Monday 

    Make it Happen Monday 

    Hey everyone! I’m a little late on today’s “Make it Happen Monday” post – what can I say! Life happens. Today was my nieces 1st Birthday (horray!) and we have company staying with us, so it’s been a busy couple of days. But for a moment, I want to take a second to talk about…

  • Edamame and Greens Salad

    Edamame and Greens Salad

    Confession time: I’m a salad fanatic. If I haven’t had my daily greens, or some sort of salad during the day, I feel a little lost. I love the crunch of a good salad, and the textures! Yes, I’ve gotten some looks while enjoying a salad as big as my head. Don’t worry about it!…

    If you are new here, welcome! If you are back for yet another Make it Happen Monday, then hello again.

  • When Anxiety is Your Normal

    When Anxiety is Your Normal

    When anxiety is your normal, you don’t really know you have anxiety. It’s just life as you know it. Growing up, I never thought I had anxiety. I thought I was just ‘uptight’. I described myself as ’emotional’. I never felt like I had control, but I constantly sought it. However, it never crossed my…

  • The Down Low on Carrageenan

    The Down Low on Carrageenan

    If you are a regular food-label-reader like me, then you may have heard of carrageenan before. It’s in nut milks, yogurts, prepackaged meals, and deli meats – just to name a few things. It is often found in dairy alternatives (sour cream, yogurt, cheese), as it is used as a thickening agent. Now that we…

    Make it Happen Monday 

    You guys know I love me a good Monday!  Today, I was thinking about how we get what we want. I realized, it’s really less about the world bending in such a way that benefits us, and more about us becoming the person we need to be to get what we want.  It’s not the…

  • How to go Keto – The Right Way

    How to go Keto – The Right Way

    Of all the diet ‘fads’ I’ve seen over the years, I’m not surprised to see that the ketogenic diet hasn’t faded away. This diet is still popular – either as a tool used in the short-term for weight loss, or for it’s more long-term for benefits such as better digestion, clearer thinking, and enhanced energy.…

  • Zesty Tahini Sauce 

    Zesty Tahini Sauce 

    Most foodies have that one current ingredient obsession that they just can’t seem to get enough of. I would describe it kind of as a phase, where we justify putting that particular ingredient in just about everything. I’ve gone through that with cilantro, avocado, chickpeas… and that’s just this year! But recently, I’ve moved on.…
