We're eating what I call "Paleo Style" these days. It's entirely based on the Paleo diet, but with a few small modifications here and there. I completely agree with getting rid of refined sugars, processed foods, and simple carbs, I still need my wine!!! Yeah, less wine, but Mama … [Read more...]
The REAL Food Revolution
I've considered myself a "healthy eater" for many years now, possibly even my whole life. I was raised in a family where we had home cooked meals every evening, and a brown bag lunch with an apple every day. We didn't get much soda or sweets, and we ate what was on our plates. I … [Read more...]

Why Can’t I Just DO It???
I have big dreams...and I love to talk about them. I have dreams about the shape I'd like to be in post-baby and how healthy I'd like to be. I have big visions of how I'd like to write about my experiences, my ups and downs, and share them with you here. I even talk about how … [Read more...]

I'm always looking for recipes that are quick, easy, healthy, and make enough for leftovers! This stew fits all the requirements and there's a ton leftover to munch on during the week. I'm not a very good recipe follower, as I usually feel like I need to alter stuff either to my … [Read more...]
