If I had a dollar for every time someone told me about their sweet tooth – well, you know. Hey, I’m all for treats in moderation, but it’s far too easy to get carried away and sabotage yourself when it comes to your goals. And while there’s something to be said for learning the art…

On Struggling
Hey. I have a question for you. Do you feel like you’re struggling right now? I was reminded recently that it’s okay to struggle. It’s okay not to have it all together. It’s okay to learn and grow and become. If you’re struggling, that means you’re fighting. If you’re struggling, that means you’re trying. It’s…
Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin
I’ll be real with you: The first time I tried making this pork tenderloin recipe, it threw me for a loop. Not because the recipe itself is complicated, but because I have an apparent knack for making simple things more difficult. What can I say. It’s how I roll. I made a post on Instagram…
Turkey Butternut Squash Chili
When the weather starts cooling down outside, I love making myself a good bowl of chili. It’s a quintessential fall dish. There’s probably a thousand and one ways to make it – I don’t think we’d have cook-offs and contests if there weren’t. So, I guess that makes this recipe number one thousand and two–and…
Pumpkin Coffee Concoction
I’m not necessarily a die hard Pumpkin Spice Latte girl, but I certainly enjoy the flavors of fall, especially with my coffee. And lately, I’ve been knocking back this lighter pumpkin coffee concoction. All you need is pumpkin spice flavored coffee with half a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and you’ve got a delicious,…
On Old Habits
Y’all know I like to keep things positive, but I also like to keep it real. And things are about to get really real. I recently made a post on Instagram (check out my account here or at the bottom of the blog!) with a series of pictures of things most would consider “junk food”….
On Easiness
I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote I saw from Bob Goff: “What’s simple isn’t always easy, what’s easy doesn’t always last.” This whole healthy living thing–it’s not complicated. It’s actually quite simple. Eat well. Exercise. Take care of yourself. While there’s nuances and details and science behind those statements, the bottom line is,…
Asian Chicken Meatballs
Meatballs are a great option for a quick, healthy meal. They’re easy to throw together, a great source of protein, and making one huge batch can turn into multiple meals. While they can be served in a variety of ways, I love making mine with an Asian twist. Here’s all you need: The original recipe…
Proats
Oatmeal is such a great breakfast option. On its own, it’s incredibly filling, a healthy source of carbs (*gasp*), and full of whole grains and fiber. I also enjoy that it comes in a variety of flavors, like these. What can I say? I like having options. And variety is the pumpkin spice of life….
Balsamic Chicken Pizza
For starters, let me be clear: I have nothing against pizza. I won’t ever say you can’t have it ever. That’s crazy talk. I’m all for it, in moderation. But sometimes, I find I also enjoy a healthier version that’s flavorful, satisfying, and helps keep me on track toward my goals. This Balsamic Chicken Pizza…
