To track or not to track, that may be the question. You've heard me encourage intuitive eating. And as part of that philosophy, you may have deduced that I’m a big fan of tracking macronutrients. So, you may be wondering, what’s the deal? Don’t these ideas contradict each other? The short answer is, not necessarily. [...]
TO DRINK OR NOT TO DRINK... That is the question. Or is it? Here we are nearly 5 months into my alcohol-free journey, smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. I figured it’d be a good time to update you, my friends, and those of you curious on my 'status.’ So let [...]
Why Bone Broth? We're coming on cold and flu season so I've done a round up of all my bone broth recipes from easy to stupid-easy, as well as a rundown of the many health benefits that can be found in Bone Broth! So, what if I told you there was a delicious food that [...]
QUICK DISCLAIMER I wrote this on Tuesday 9/4, but struggled with it for a few more days. I wanted to address what I promised Part l, but also feel like there's so much else, so much other, so much more I'd like to share. (Note to self: write more, more frequently). It just felt [...]
