My husband and I are off to Hawaii in less than a week and I am already in full-on packing mode. My number one priority when traveling is to feel completely relaxed and stress free. Planning ahead to make sure I have everything I need to feel healthy and carefree on my trip is a…
Green Protein Waffles & Vitamix Giveaway!
When I’m craving something sweet in the morning, pancakes and waffles are always at the top of my list. Problem is, most pancake and waffle recipes don’t provide the most balanced meal. Especially in the morning, you want something that’s going to keep you fueled and energized throughout the day, not force you into a…
Green Strawberry Dreams Juice
I’ve been a green juice lover for a very long time, but up until this past spring, I had never made my own juice! Although “juice” isn’t often considered paleo, I have always known that certain types of juice can be extremely nourishing to the body and can work just fine within a paleo diet. I…

My Fitness Philosophy… And Why I Don’t Do Crossfit
I’ve never really considered myself a “fitness” person. Not that I haven’t maintained a relatively active lifestyle for most of my life, but I never found any one thing that I loved. I dabbled in a little bit of everything but never felt like I spent enough time doing any one thing in order to…
