Balancing Life with Love, Laughter, and a Little Bit of Moxie!
Back when I started my first round of Whole30, before I found out I was pregnant, I was a little saddened that I was unable to enjoy some of my more favorite “healthy” foods because they included non-approved ingredients. Some may think that the Whole30 is some ultra-strict, no fun diet. That is FAR […]

Each year, during Lent, I struggle so much to find recipes to satisfy my family on our meatless days.

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 […]
