April 13, 2017 celebrating the new house with rueda verdejo wines Y’ALL! We are getting SO CLOSE! Things at the new house are coming along at rapid speed, so of course I’ve been bringing my friends by every chance I get to show them the progress. A couple weeks ago I invited two of my blogger buddies over to see the updates and show them the...Read More → Shop The Post
April 8, 2017 food diary: what I eat throughout the week A question I’ve received over and over again the last several months is what I eat during the week, and whether I could share a food diary on the blog! I’ve shared my favorite recipes from time to time (like these Whole30 go-tos ), but have never really given you an inside look at my schedule and day-to-day...Read More →
February 26, 2017 what I learned from doing whole30 Sugar addiction is very real. If you read the Whole30 book , it gives you insight into what you can expect from the four weeks you do the challenge… two of which include sugar withdrawals and a carb flu. I had very real hangover symptoms for about four days: I woke up with bad headaches, a little nausea (never...Read More →
February 23, 2017 huevos rancheros with la vaquita queso fresco If you follow me on SnapChat , you likely already know how much I love to cook! In addition to making it easier to stay healthy on the reg, cooking provides me with a sense of accomplishment. It may sound silly, but as someone who works at the computer all day long it’s nice to have...Read More →
February 2, 2017 a bar cart essential: absolut lime I don’t know about y’all, but I’m always that girl who orders a drink and requests extra limes when at dinner or out with my friends. Like, multiple limes. Sometimes three or four. It’s a little absurd, but I just love the refreshing touch it adds to whatever cocktail I’m drinking! In addition to giving the...Read More → Shop The Post

Today’s post is to share a little bit of an update and a few of my favorite recipes I’ve made this month. Here’s a list of the...Read More → Shop The Post
December 21, 2016 cauliflower tacos with la vaquita queso fresco You all should know about my obsession with cauliflower by now. I whip up this cauliflower pasta at least two times a week, but in addition to that I also make cauliflower-crusted pizza , cauliflower fritters , cauliflower soup , etc. I can’t get enough! What’s so great about cauliflower is it completely takes on the flavors of whatever you cook it with, making...Read More →
October 16, 2016 paleo + gluten-free banana cinnamon muffins This recipe was adapted from this Banana Walnut Coconut Flour Muffins Recipe on Gluten-Free Homemaker! My friend Katie introduced me to the site, and I’ve been getting lots of inspiration from it when baking at home. I’d never cooked with coconut flour before, so when I first made the recipe I followed it to a T. As I’ve made it a few...Read More →
October 10, 2016 fig & thyme cocktail If you know me, you’ll know there’s nothing I enjoy more than sitting by a warm fire with a cocktail in hand. As soon as the weather dips below 65 degrees, I turn my fireplace on. I know it’s a little ridiculous, but I just LOVE it. While I’m definitely not the hostess with the...Read More → Shop The Post
October 2, 2016 a crustless quiche for sunday brunch You may remember me whipping up this crustless quiche over on SnapChat about a month ago? I baked it again while I was in Austin per my mom’s request. It is SO GOOD. Not only that, but it’s pretty healthy (aside from the cheese). Definitely bookmark this recipe for the next time you plan to make brunch at...Read More →
