This means I'm constantly on the lookout for things that can put it to use. Enter attempting to make fruit … Continue reading Guest Post: Erica tries…to make Larabars.

Whole30 has been in popular media a lot lately (Co-creator Melissa Hartwig was on Dr. Oz this past month and Christian author Jen Hatmaker is currently completely a round and sharing her experience on social media) so I figured this would be a … Continue reading Whole30 Success: Jamie’s Story
Happy Sunday! I've got this week's meal plan ready to go. There aren't too many recipes because we are keeping things SUPER simple this week with some basic meat + veggie type meals.

I think a little reset will do me … Continue reading I’m doing a mini Whole30…here’s why.

One of my favorite places to shop has always been Aldi. Not only do they have a variety of healthy options, their prices can't be beat.
