I don’t how it’s possible, but I have two friends in my life who just don’t like red meat. It doesn’t sound appetizing to them. And they even know the difference between crappy, processed, chemical-filled, cancer-causing CAFO beef and healthy, happy, CLA-filled, cancer-fighting grass-fed beef. But still, hamburgers are not at the top of their […]
You guys, breakfast will never be the same. This quinoa porridge has revolutionized my morning meals. No joke. It’s that amazing. Quinoa is one of those ingredients that never ceases to amaze me. This gluten-free seed (not grain) is super high in protein (to keep you full & focused until lunchtime), is ridiculously easy to […]
Did you know that it is illegal to chew gum in Singapore? True story. Just a bit of trivia for you on this fine day. Did you also know that pomegranates are one of my favorite wintertime fruits? Just in case you weren’t aware, get yourself filled in on how to open one, then go […]
When I first laid eyes on this recipe over at Little Bit Crunchy, Little Bit Rock & Roll, I bookmarked it right away. I was practically drooling on my keyboard at that point. Once I started meal planning, I actually planned to make this dish one week and, consequently, bought all the necessary ingredients from […]
That Brussels sprouts have been epitomized as that ‘nasty health food my parents forced me to eat before leaving the dinner table’ could possibly be the biggest injustice in the world of food right now. (Well, that is if you don’t count CAFOs and HFCS and GMOs and all those other acronyms that stand synonymous […]
This recipe is the fruit of my second week of successful meal planning. I love trying new recipes! In this particular case, I found a yummy looking recipe online and modified it to fit the ingredients I like or had on hand. But then there was burdock - which I had never heard of before […]
So this past month has been a rather full one! Full of exciting changes, unseasonably warm sunny weather in Nashville (which I am definitely NOT complaining about!), and goals met, broken, or exceeded. I wanted to implement this ‘month-in-review’ post series for a couple reasons. First, it gives me a great place to share with […]
I just about get giddy when I see pomegranates make their debut in the grocery store. And when they are on sale - watch out. I don’t mind finding ways to incorporate those beautiful ruby red jewels into any and all meals. Or just eat them straight up like candy! Of course, if you’re not […]
This is a guest post by chiropractic student - and good friend of mine - James Beuerlein. He’s redonkulously smart, speaks seven languages (3 of them fluently), and knows how to deliver a baby in the back of a cab (you know, just in case. But thankfully his mad vehicle delivery skills haven’t been needed […]
You may or may not know about the SOPA/PIPA bills that are floating around Washington right now. If you’re like I am, you let the latest political buzz make a little noise without really taking much interest at first. But after a while, certain bills make me sit up and take notice. This is one […]
This is getting down to the basics, people. These two food rules apply to every single person in the world. I don’t care if you call yourself gluten-free, vegetarian, paleo, GAPS, vegan (which isn’t actually healthy - more on that later), locavore, primal, or omnivore. These are the two MOST IMPORTANT food rules. It all […]
