Oh goodness, life is moving so fast y’all! I finished my final clinical placement, passed my licensing exam and I’m on my way to Abilene to graduate! These last few weeks have been insane and I truly believed that Paleonola helped me survive! I had the pleasure of sampling their Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie…
Don’t forget that you can win raw honey for one more week! I’m a huge fan of make-ahead breakfast. Preferably something a little fancy, and full of flavor, protein and healthy fats. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day…so even if its on the go, I want it to be good. I often make…
I know, I’ve been a little absent lately. I’ve been completing my final clinical placement of graduate school and studying for the PRAXIS Speech-Language Pathology licensure exam. And today…I PASSED! So let’s celebrate with some macaroons, why don’t we? These would be great for your Easter brunch, lunch or dinner tomorrow! They feature Tropical Traditions…
When I first cut Coffee Mate out of my life, I used full fat coconut milk or the occasional half and half in my coffee. It’s pretty good…but the minute I realized how easy homemade almond milk is to make (and then tried it), I can’t go back. I’ll splurge on half and half when…
I’m making a pact with myself. The comparison needs to stop. It’s funny, I think I struggled less with body image when I was 25 pounds heavier. Maybe there’s a fear in me that I will go back to what I was. Even just saying that now, I have to stop myself and ask, “so…
I’m a 10-day forecast away from leaving Abilene. Leaving Abilene. It feels like just a break, but I know deep down that it’s not. I have more emotions about all of this than I can say. I try not to think about any of it too much. I’m excited to start a career, but terrified to leave…
I’ve been published! For the first time a recipe of mine has been “printed.” FastPaleo is an awesome resource and recipe website and for the past few years they have put out a Top 100 recipe e-book, and my Macadamia Nut Pesto was chosen as one of the Top 100 of 2013! I’m super excited…
Okay, so truth is…I do have a microwave. But it’s never used for cooking a meal, mostly just for reheating my coffee. Or warming up some coconut butter. Eating well is so crucial to staying healthy. Making a habit of microwave meals or grabbing fast food are great ways to make yourself tired or sick, or…
I may not be loving writing comprehensive exams, but I’m loving being in my last semester of grad school and I’m loving these things… RxBars I talked a little about these on my Facebook page. I’m in love with these. They are a less sweet, more substantial (higher protein) version of the Larabar — with whole ingredients,…
This post also could have been titled: Double-dipped Coconut Fish Nuggets and Eggplant Fries I know, fish nuggets and eggplant fries don’t sound like the most delectable dinner you’ve ever had, but I promise this twist on traditional fish and chips is delicious! The best part? You can win the coconut I used as the coating for…
