A health and wellness blog written by a dietitian, inspired by nutritious food, holistic skincare, and wellness routines
Wow you guys, I feel like I have really been neglecting the blog. Life has been crazy for the last few weeks; though I’m sure you know how that feels. We’ve had recent changes at work which has made for some pretty exhausting days. Not …
Our garden is literally coming out of our ears at this point. It is wildly out of control. The cherry tomatoes and squash have crawled out of our garden bed and taken over our deck. Literally, taken over! My deck is a scene straight out …
I made my first ever meatloaf this past winter. It was never really appealing to me. I mean what a terrible name! Aside from bread, I haven’t found too many enticing foods that end in the word loaf. To me it was always a big …
Good morning all! It’s the first day of fall and I’m finally ready to cave to the all pumpkin everything…and the big sweaters, and the boots, and the autumn leaves. But anyway, bring on the PSL, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and all things pumpkin. I …

Today is Sunday, around here that means Jesus and football! One of my favorite things about heading into September is the start of football season. We are still big Green Bay Packer fans even though we made the move to Illinois. Unfortunately we get hit …
It’s been a crazy couple days around here. After spending the last 10 days in vacation mode, the hubby and I are freshly back from our anniversary celebration and back to reality. Back to reality means back to routine and routine means taking care of …
We hear it time and time again. Eat your breakfast. There is no arguing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. As a dietitian, I preach this regularly. It sets us up for success for the rest of the day. Though I …
Back home, my Fig and Goat Cheese Flatbread recipe may have gotten a few looks. I grew up in a very “meat and potatoes” household. While I can’t complain about a savory pot roast with a heaping pile of creamy mashed potatoes, my palette does …
You gotta bear with me here… I am just not quite ready to submit to pumpkin spice everything. Give me one last chance at summer inspired food. Does the fact that I am still in vacation mode count?! Even though the temperatures are barely …
