Have you noticed ALL the smoothie bowls around the net? They are hard to miss- so beautiful and colorful….they’re definitely eye-catching! Why don’t I have one on my blog? I started eating smoothie bowls when I lived in Hawaii about 5 years ago! There was this little place called Lanikai Juice, about a mile and a…
Double Chocolate Almond Muffins {Gluten-Free}
Disclosure: I was asked to participate in the “#CrunchOn ” campaign as a member of the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network. I was compensated for my time and also received free samples for recipe testing. If I had to name one of the staple foods in my diet it would be nuts. Without hesitation. Almonds in particular…
No-Bake Apricot Coconut Energy Balls {Gluten Free, Vegan}
Hi friends. Goodness, what a crazy past week. It all started Wednesday in the middle of the night when my 3 year old woke me up with a case of the stomach bug. By Friday he was doing great and my husband and I settled in to watch our Homeland marathon Friday night (we’re currently…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls {Gluten Free}
This year was a first for me, I asked the hubby not to get me my annual box of Valentine’s chocolates! I know. Crazy. I just told him I’d rather have a Stitch Fix gift card than flowers or candy so he was happy to oblige. However, the wonderful women from Recipe Redux made me make…

Healthy Snacking with Nourish Snacks + Giveaway
My family snacks. A lot. And I am ok with that because I believe healthy snacking bridges the gap between meals and prevents from overeating. However, I get bored of having the same things in the house all the time so I am always looking for new healthy snacks to try. Joy Bauer, RD and…
Easy Popcorn Trail Mix
I am still recovering from the weekend- Halloween…trick-or-treating with 4 young children = so much fun! I loved seeing their excitement. We went to our neighborhood downtown where the local businesses hosted an early trick-or-treat event around 4:00pm. Then home and a quick stop for a bite to eat at our neighbors’ annual Halloween party…
Homemade Pita Chips
Oh. My. Gosh. I can’t believe I took the whole week off blogging, but I was so inspired and excited when I returned from the International Food Blogger Conference on Sunday that I didn’t know what to do with myself first. The conference left me recharged for blogging which was great because I totally needed a pick-me-up. I started brainstorming…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dough Balls {Vegan, Gluten-Free}
Here we are in our first full week of school (last week was short due to the Holiday). The kids are both doing so well, but our schedule has officially picked up with the addition of after school activities like gymnastics, church class and soccer twice-a-week for both kids. The kids come home starving as…
