Sometimes an idea for a recipe or a flavor combination will pop in my head and I just HAVE to try it. Yesterday, the idea of grilled chicken breast with a maple-mustard glaze popped in, quickly followed by the taste for a BLT… and I knew I had to try it. So good! I am quite sure that there are other versions of this out there, but here’s my super-simple recipe. Enjoy! Maple Mustard Chicken (*P, *GF) Organic chicken breast cutlets (thin sliced- mine were about 1/2 inch at the thickest) Heirloom tomato Maple bacon (you can sub turkey bacon…

My sister-in-law Kelly shared this AH-MAH-ZING salad with me to pass along to you. And let me tell you, it’s a beauty! Super hearty and filling without making you feel heavy. You could totally make a meal out of this on it’s own, or serve alongside a lean meat, fish, or pasta dish. It takes a bit of time to prep because you are roasting the veggies, but hey, that glass of Chardonnay isn’t going to drink itself. *For vegetarians and vegans, just leave out the bacon altogether. Adapted from: Kim’s Cravings (2 servings; approximately 780 calories per serving with…

My friend Mikey swears by this recipe for a go-to, super easy breakfast fix. It’s the Coco-Nutty Grain Free Porridge from the book Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. It looks super simple and I have pretty much all of the ingredients on hand in my pantry at any given time, so I’m stoked to give this a try for a weekday breakfast that’s hearty enough to get me through a busy morning without making me late. I think I can push myself past the word “porridge” to give it a try! 😉

This year is the year I’m focusing on a healthy transformation in my life. I’m looking to create something BIG though. Something deep. I want to go wayyyyyy beyond “lose ___ pounds blah blah blah” and instead pave a way for people of all body types -including my own- to be empowered, to feel loved, to discover their strength & true beauty. I’m not trying to be skinny again. I’m not trying to look like a supermodel or a Victoria’s Secret ad. I actually love my body as it is, but I really want to FEEL better in it. Have…

Monday Mantra: I am Worthy and Deserving of Good Things If you have ever struggled with feeling unworthy of having good things happen to you, or if you feel uneasy enjoying good things in your life, let today be the day that you begin to change your story. It does not make you selfish. It does not mean you are greedy. It simply means that as a human being, you are a magnificent miracle. You are alive. And no matter who may have made you feel “less than” in your past, YOU ARE AMAZING. You DO matter. And above all…

If you’re anything like me, the day before a big trip feels almost overwhelming with energy… Last minute checklists, frantic shopping for that one thing (what am I missing? Where’s my list?)… Prepping your home/pets/office for your time away… It can be a little nutso, and instead of being in-the-moment you might become frazzled. Total buzz-kill! I’m intentionally carving out these next few hours to daydream about the awesome adventures awaiting me. I’m purposefully realigning the energy in me and around me to feel more blissful, less chaotic. Whatever doesn’t get done can wait until I get back, because baby,…
