Healthy Homemade Spanish Rice
Meet my new favorite side dish: Spanish rice. You many be thinking... It's just rice, right? But cooked up with bone broth, smothered in butter or coconut oil, seasoned with savory flavors, and finished with fermented fish sauce - my picky kids devour this stuff, while I sit by, thrilled they are eating my secret superfood. See, homemade stock (unlike the kind you buy in the store) is packed with nutritional goodness, … [Read more...] about Healthy Homemade Spanish Rice
Natural Remedies for Keratosis Pilaris
I get reader questions nearly every week looking for natural remedies for keratosis pilaris. If you don't have keratosis pilaris (KP), then chances are good that someone you know does: apparently, this skin condition affects about 50% of the world population. Keratosis pilaris usually manifests as red, brown or flesh-colored goose flesh bumps usually on the upper arms but it can also appear on the back, face or legs. Here’s … [Read more...] about Natural Remedies for Keratosis Pilaris

Pina Colada Ice Cream
I don’t mind admitting we sometimes have ice cream for breakfast at my house and feel not a drop of guilt. Just look at these ingredients (sans the optional rum, y’all!). Pina Colada ice cream is a wonderful, nutrient-dense treat. I love the cool, smooth cream coupled with the chewy, golden chunks of pineapple. It doesn’t get much better than this. Delicious. Nutritious. The bomb on a sunny afternoon! This ice cream is … [Read more...] about Pina Colada Ice Cream
My Secret to Exercise Motivation
Once upon a time, my life was all about me. Every day, I organized my schedule around some kind of exercise - a hike, a surf, a yoga or spinning class. Sometimes I did more than one of these things or tried something random and new - like sea kayaking or Krav Maga. I always considered myself an active person with lots of energy. Then one day, I looked up and found I had become a working mom with two lovely children, a busy … [Read more...] about My Secret to Exercise Motivation

The 20 Minute Workout for People Too Busy to Exercise
Hey! Do you find yourself way too busy to fit enough exercise into your day or week? I can relate. So I had my friend and pilates instructor/personal trainer whip me up this super simple 20 minute routine that you can do anywhere - at home, at the office - even at the beach. Only got 10 minutes? Do 5 reps of each exercise instead of 10. Now I have absolutely no excuses for not exercising. And you don't either. The 20 … [Read more...] about The 20 Minute Workout for People Too Busy to Exercise

Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Crust
Shepherd's pie is the ultimate home-cooked comfort food - savory lamb or beef and veggies in a rich gravy, topped with buttery mash. I like to make mine with cauliflower crust, simply because I prefer it to potatoes, but you could easily swap it out for classic mashed potatoes or get all-kinds-of-crazy with parsnips, yams or other root veggies. Another great thing about shepherd's pie is it makes a great hiding place for … [Read more...] about Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Crust

Alternatives To Toxic Nail Polish
I know, I know. There are more important topics to discuss in the world, but today we are going to talk about nail polish. I've been hearing my crunchy friends criticize the health risks of toxic nail polish, and frankly I've covered my ears and hummed a happy tune. I've converted to homemade lotion; I do my best to be green; and I source local, organic, sustainable food. With all these health and eco-conscious things … [Read more...] about Alternatives To Toxic Nail Polish
