At some point several years ago, probably due to a mix of laziness and a love for all things savory, I started throwing together light appetizer spreads for small groups of guests. Eventually, as I became more proficient at these types of spreads, they got more elaborate and eventually took over as dinner. Now, I […]
The shift in my kitchen pantry and fridge from conventional products to more nutrient dense, “real” foods took some time. This did not happen overnight, I want to make sure I reiterate to you guys over and over again, because unless your personality can handle it, the “balls to the wall” approach when trying to […]
After my exciting 1 minute encounter with Gwyneth on Saturday, I was feeling wild and dangerous, so I went bikini shopping. As you know last year, I hid myself under several flattering one-piece suits, and while I still love both the pink and green suits I chose, truth be told, life under a one-piece is […]
I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to Girlie Gifts. Gifts that us women wouldn’t usually buy ourselves, but items we definitely wouldn’t mind having in our lives. I pin various items that I would personally love, or things I know my girlfriends would appreciate and enjoy. Most items are not “necessities” and some may […]

It’s been almost 6 months since I last wrote about the treatment of my Hashimoto’s, and almost a year since my initial diagnosis. Because I’ve been asked lots of questions, and because I’m just pretty darn excited, I wanted to give you all an update on my health and what I’m currently doing to manage […]
That old familiar saying about only 2 certainties in life being death and taxes, should be amended to include 3 certainties – death, taxes, and cooking, because we all must eat. And unless you plan to eat take-out for the remainder of your life, someone’s gotta do it, so why not try to at least […]
I’m not too sad about seeing 2014 come to a close. As I sit here with a hacking cough, the second cold I’ve caught in December, I look forward to starting all over in 2015, with a new found respect for what it means to be healthy, and a new mission to try and make […]
