My friend Kelly (cupcakekelbel on Instagram) 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.

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! 😉

I’m always on the lookout for easy, tasty meals that are low-cal but still flavorful & filling. This one is awesome to make ahead and take to work or school for your lunch the next day. There are loads of versions of this Kale & Quinoa salad, so feel free to personalize it and make it your own. 🙂 This one is loaded with protein, iron, & calcium from the quinoa plus Vitamins C, A, and K from the kale, plus the benefits of antioxidants & vitamins from the blueberries and super healthy omega-3 fatty acids from the hemp seed…

This year is the year I’m focusing on 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 more flexibility,…

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,…

Healthy! Confident! Brave! Strong! Annnnd a I have this sweet, fat kitty who loves a freshly warmed-up lap! Bonus! Post-workout selfie with no makeup, a sweet sweaty glow, lumps bumps and curves doing what they do as I keep working hard towards my better-health goals. I’ve released 30 inches overall and a few pounds of fat that were causing me pain, through loving myself and gently moving my body. To be clear: Healthy Comes In All Shapes And Sizes.

Here’s a tasty and simple salad that’s light and quick. Just the ticket to keep you on track after a holiday feast. The dark leaf lettuce and lean turkey are pleasantly filling without the painful bloat and food coma. Dressed simply with hemp seed oil and freshly ground Kampot pepper for nutty, earthy flavor balance. So good! Romaine lettuce Shredded chunks of turkey breast About a tbsp of cold pressed organic hemp seed oil (I like the one from Nutiva) Freshly ground Kampot pepper I like to get my pepper from my pals Cris and Tom at Pepper Project, because…
