We are finally back home and getting back into our normal routine — I spent a wild Friday night plotting & planning a bunch of easy and somewhat healthy meals to eat the next week!

I have such a sweet tooth and always like to have baked goods lingering in our cabinet shelves to grab in the morning to eat with my coffee (before my green smoothie, of course!). I made these super easy vanilla baked donuts a few weeks back and we ate them pretty quickly as they don’t […]

Chips are the guilty pleasure of our household and always have been. One year it was even our resolution to STOP BUYING CHIPS! So, when I recently discovered Simply 7 Snacks I was pretty excited as they make me feel a little less guilty about our chip addiction. Simply7 offers a ton of different varieties; […]

Austin thinks I make too much butternut squash — but its kind of hard for me to resist this time of year. It’s so easy and satisfying. This soup could take as little as 30 minutes to make, but I like to let it simmer as long for as much time as I have. It’s an […]

 Starting the new year I typically have a few major goals I’d like to achieve — like buying a house, and streamlining my businesses — along with several more attainable resolutions.One of the most important of these smaller goals is to make the most out of my mornings with Piper (i.e. less screen time). I’ve become […]

Austin and I have been on one proper date since Piper’s birth 6 months ago – my sister watched her and we went out to dinner a few minutes from our house for my birthday. I wore a dress, got a cocktail and it was fun but I was glued to my phone the whole […]

There’s nothing like eating a burger & fries while scrolling through your Instagram feed and seeing a ton of beautifully styled, delicious, healthy recipes! Time for a wake up call now that 2016 is officially here — most of us are inspired to eat more healthy and make better choices when it comes to fitness […]

  Kicking off 2016 with a cold (hopefully not the flu!) was not something I had planned! Piper had her first cold and finally beat it and now I’m doing everything in my power to make sure she doesn’t catch what I have. I loaded up on a ton of citrus and tea at the […]

This year I’m all about embracing the holidays as early as possible — whether that means unpacking my Christmas decor or enjoying pumpkin pie before Thanksgiving. Since going dairy (and soy) free I’ve been a little worried about the holiday season and missing all of my favorite treats… there’s always next year but in the meantime […]

  Lisa is the author of the new cookbook, Go Clean, Sexy You and she’s a local Annapolitan! Her book is full of healthy recipes that are easy to follow and taste great.  She also includes shopping lists which make going to the grocery store hassle-free. This book is a fantastic resource for anyone that wants to live a healthy […]

  I’m a snacker by nature –most days I find myself reaching for a morning & afternoon snack, much like a pre-schooler. Since I’ve been on my dairy & soy free journey (and most recently gluten too) because of Piper’s allergy my options have been limited and consist of a rotation of hummus & carrots, […]

Sweet treats are my thing — they always have been and especially were when I was pregnant (I ate ice cream every single night for 9 months — you’d think Piper would like dairy after all that!). Since I began my dairy & soy free diet I’ve really missed my donuts and had been wanting […]
