This is an easy and fast stir-fry that I often make on busy nights. It has a lot of contrasting flavors and colors and we’re especially enjoying it now that our Broccoli is in season in the garden. If your family isn’t used to these types of spices, start with half and work up from there Ingredients: 3-4 [...]
I get a lot of questions about natural makeup options, and this was definitely one of the tougher things for me to find natural alternatives for. In college, I practically collected makeup, and had endless tubes and compacts of makeup that never even got half used. While there are some good natural alternatives that you [...]
I write a lot about the importance of nutrition and exercise for overall health, weight loss, and prevention of disease and certainly, the importance of these things can’t be overstated, but there are couple other important factors that we sometimes miss. I occasionally have clients who despite a close-to-perfect diet and a regular exercise regime [...]
You might have heard me mention before the benefits of running and training barefoot and you may have seen (or even own) some minimalist shoes like Vibram Five Fingers or Altras. Now, aside from the joint and health benefits, there is another reason to try out barefoot running… Over the next few months, throughout the country, [...]
This is a similar recipe to my Meatloaf Cupcakes, but with more vegetables… My kids absolutely love sweet potatoes and will eat them any way I fix them, so this is a good way to add in the extra veggies. This recipe also freezes well and re-heats well so it can be prepared ahead for [...]

I’ve compiled a list of some of the things I’d want to get (hint-hint honey) and feel free to add your favorites in the comments! Some of these are [...]
This is one of those super-easy but really impressive chicken recipes that even kids seem to enjoy because of the hidden ingredients inside. It’s also an easy recipe to adapt and make grain free. My kids ask for “Blue Chicken” often, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too! What You Need: 4 chicken breasts 8 [...]
I was recently given the opportunity to review The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Paleo by Jason Glaspey and Neely Quinn and it was definitely much more comprehensive than I expected for a “Complete Idiot’s Guide!” This 300+ page book not only has explanation of why some modern foods (grains, sugars, vegetable oils,etc) are not [...]
Chamomile is one of the most well-known herbs, and one I wouldn’t be without, especially with small children. It is widely available in tea form, but can also be made into capsules or tinctures or used in cosmetic applications. Chamomile flowers are mildly sedative, making them wonderful for improving sleep quality and relaxation. I use chamomile in [...]
