Balancing Life with Love, Laughter, and a Little Bit of Moxie!
The hot summer days are finally here, bringing with them memories of carefree childhood summers. Who can forget the sweet, tangy taste of homemade lemonade, a staple of our youth? Growing up, it seemed like every kid in the neighborhood had a lemonade stand, and mine was no exception. My mom would lovingly prepare a […]

The ketogenic (or keto, for short) diet is the type of meal plan that is high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates, with a moderate amount of protein.

I often get asked if I have any recipes on the blog that are Paleo or Gluten-Free. This past year, I have ventured and dabbles in both “eating plan” worlds. I have tried and created some recipes that were good, and some that were down right amazing. When I write about recipes on this blog, […]

I love quick and easy just like the next person. This is probably why I use the crockpot as much as I do. I remember my mom using an old orange one when I was a kid. So, when I became an adult (with my own kitchen), I made sure that I had a crock […]

I woke up this morning with a hankering for waffles. The truth be told, I have not been eating very paleo lately. I know that when I eat paleo I feel so much better mentally and physically but it is very difficult to restart once you take a detour (don’t take that detour). So I […]
