Sickness, Wellness and Back Again

It’s been such a long time since I’ve blogged. I think we need to do a little recap of events that have led me to where I’m at these days. So come with me, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and let us see how we got to where we are. Well, once upon…

Easy No-Cook Pumpkin Cream Sauce

Is it Fall yet? IS IT?! I think it IS! I love all things Fall. Cool weather, hoodies, football season, soups and of course, PUMPKIN. I think this recipe will put you in the mood. It’s comforting, warm, creamy, delicious and has PUMPKIN! Can’t truly be Fall unless we’re cooking up and eatin’ up some…

Life-Changing Crock-pot Beans

Beans are amazing. They are literally powerhouses of super nutrition! Studies show that those who ate beans at least twice per week cut their chances of getting colon cancer by 50%!!! Now if when I say “beans” you instantly think of a can opening then your in for a surprise. Or shock, should I say….

A Cure: My PERSONAL Experience

What a gift today is! First of all, it’s my 4 year wedding anniversary! It’s also (what would have been) my Grandma’s birthday. Yes, we planned that on purpose. THIS though…we did not plan.  THIS news is HUGE!! Will you take my hand and take a trip down memory lane with me? I’m telling you…

From So Cali to So Dako?

Yup. We’re moving! Was anyone REALLY surprised?? Where or where do I begin?? I’ve sat down and thought about this blog over and over and it wasn’t until today that I felt like I was ready to share. Share my feelings. With all of you. So how was South Dakota?? In one word? Amazing. More…

The Trick To Perfect Tofu!

I’m really excited about today’s blog, friends! It’s THIS type of blog that I wish I could have read 6 months ago when we became Vegan! It could have turned so many epic fails into legendary meals… BUT!! It didn’t. I think it was necessary for me to do all the trial and errors so…

Easy Almond Cheese and Garden Goodness

Almond cheese? Yeah, you heard that right. Think about it. You probably love almond butter and you probably love almond milk so why would the phenomenon of almond cheese surprise you? Even after all that, I was skeptical too. Could it really be that good? Could it even TASTE or LOOK like cheese? And what…

Tosca Tells My Story!

Isn’t that a fun name to say? Tosca!It’s pronounced, “Taws-cuh” but I prefer to pronounce it, “Toes-cuh” and then throw my arm in the air and stomp my foot. It’s fun! You should try it! Whose Tosca?  Tosca Reno was a 40 year old frumpy housewife who transformed herself into a best-selling author, fitness model…

No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Balls!

It’s May and Spring is in full effect, friends! Time to blow the dust off the BBQ and start tending to the garden. I love Spring! Lately though I’ve been obsessed with the cooking you do indoors. Only because I’m striving to replace all of our “packaged” foods/treats with ones that I’ve made or a whole foods…

Italian Polenta Casserole

I love casseroles! Don’t you? Casseroles from the oven are almost as magical as the meals that come from the slow cooker. They’re especially nice when it’s close to payday and you have lots of odd and end ingredients in your fridge and pantry that need using up. You know what I’m talking about. With…

Chocolate Chip, Peanut butter, Banana "Ice Cream"

I think we decided to skip right over spring and go straight for summer, friends. This is a HEAT WAVE that we’re having! 90 degrees in April is just silly. Sure it’s nice now but what will it be like in August?Huh? Huh?We’ve really been enjoying the warmer weather though. It means we can take…

Juicing To Infinity and Beyond!

I feel fantastic!! Yup, that’s right. We all do. I can totally see how Joe and Phil (From the film Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead) must have felt too. They fasted for 60 days! Which, in my mind, seems TOTALLY unrealistic. For starters, they weren’t mothers of small children and were able to “take time…
