  • Beet Carrot Cake

    So last week I made a delicious beet carrot cake. Don’t let yourself be turned away by the beet. The cake is delicious and kid, even picky kid, approved. A bit time intensive with the shredding of veggies, but SO worth it. Originally, my stepmom made a version of this cake for my dad’s birthday,…

  • Ringing in 35

    Hello all, Life has been so busy the past month, and I just have not taken the time to sit down and make a post. I’m sorry for that. I know this being a real life account of someone who is creating a lifestyle, thats not overly helpful. I turned 35 last week, and I…

    What’s a Nutritarian?

    My week update: Left picture is a before photo at my high point, the right was this past weekend. I am weighing in at 163 even as of this morning, which is 5 pounds since last Monday, and probably almost 30 since November. Again, I didn’t weigh back then, but I knew I was at…

  • Salad, salad, and more salad!

    Salad, salad, and more salad!

    I thought I would touch on how I make a salad every day. It sounds exhausting to say that I make one daily, but its actually about as equally easy as making a smoothie. Don’t think you need to make a recipe for a salad, back to school, keep it simple, silly. Though none of…

  • Did you know?

    Did you know Dr. Fuhrman has new guidelines for making smoothies? I just found this out and am giving it a try. See the link below. Clean & Green: New guidelines for crafting a smoothie | DrFuhrman.com To summarize, however, he says not to mix bananas with other certain fruits as it damages the nutritional…

    Happy Friday – Eve!

    Evening fine folks! My Wednesdays are busy, so I probably won’t be posting on Wednesdays, and my Tuesdays will be busy soon, so it will likely be Mondays and Thursdays, with a gap in between. My daughter does ballet on Tuesdays, and my son has Trail Life, which is a boys’ outdoor group, focusing on…

  • Kid Full day

    Kid Full day

    Today didn’t go the way I planned it. We have been dealing with digestive issues with my son for a little over a year now. He ended up having the school call me to come pick him up today, so off I went. I let my boss know first thing that it may happen, since…

  • Inauguration Day – 2025

    Inauguration Day – 2025

    I want to preface this post by saying a lot of my prep has to do with my kids and changing up the way they are eating as well as mine. I also have done this before, and I knew some tricks and processes for myself to eat. If I needed to figure out my…

    Weekend Update – I was busy!

    Happy Sunday night! I don’t have to work tomorrow, so I am stoked about an extra prep day. My husband has some travel coming up, so I am trying to do as much as I can to stock up my freezer with things for the kids, soups, etc. Today, I tested a few recipes to…

  • Fail at Wake Up

    Fail at Wake Up

    This morning started out with a fail. Last night, before I went to my ballet class, I made a Quinoa Breakfast pudding. It’s in the Eat to Live cookbook, and I am trying to cook my way through all the recipes, or at least most of them. There are a few where I don’t know…
