Siggi’s Yogurt
Siggi’s Yogurt has become a daily staple in my diet. It’s this amazing yogurt that is low in sugar, but tastes ridiculously good. I stumbled across Siggi’s through Shut The Kale Up, my favorite Instagramer. While I like a good cup of yogurt as much as the next person, she seemed obsessed with hers. … Continue reading Siggi’s Yogurt
Year Round Farmers Market
Farmers’ markets in the winter are a totally different scene than in the summer. Anyone who has been to a farmers’ market over the past couple of months knows exactly what I’m talking about.

They… Continue reading healthy sweet potato fries

Vitamix Review
I had one thing on my Christmas list I gave my husband this year- A Vitamix. Anyone familiar with the cost of Vitamix understands why the list was short. These machines are a pretty penny. But anyone who has used a Vitamix before also understands why I really wanted one. Calling it a… Continue reading Vitamix Review

Bone Broth is credited with numerous benefits including aiding in recovery from a distance run, to improving the glow of your skin. I’m not sure if it’s a miracle drug, but why not give it a try??!!

Winter comfort foods are the best. When I think of my favorites, warm healthy stuffed bell peppers are right up there.
