Normally every other week, I do my Favorite Friday Finds series, but I wanted to do something slightly more personal this week!

I've been following Julie of Peanut Butter Fingers for a few years now, as I loved her personality that always shone through her posts about everything from...

After having so many of you guys request the recipe and instructions for how I made my handpies I posted on my Instagram awhile back, and also the pie I made for my family's Thanksgiving- I am finally sharing it with you guys! 

This post will cover my Raspberry-Lemon Chia Hand Pies, as well as how to make the fun crust I did for my Apple Cider Caramel Pie from Food52 that I made for Thanksgiving...

The most common thing for me to experience with clients, particularly while dealing with nutrition, is that I'll hear something like, "I was really good for the past two weeks, then life happened."

When venturing out to the Pacific Northwest (PNW) for the first time, I didn't really know what to expect. The only thing I knew to expect was a lot of rain. Spoiler...

I pretty much said all of what has been on my mind in my post last week on body judgment/shaming. The universe is aligning though, because a really kicka** ladyboss fitness coach and writer that I love, Molly Galbraith, co-founder of Girls Gone Strong, shared this post on her Facebook page recently that went absolutely viral. Shared by...

Ever since getting one of the nicest Christmas gifts I've ever gotten, aka my powerhouse of a Vitamix, I have been experimenting more and more with smoothies. With smoothies, there are so many benefits, like being able to fit in a lot of greens and much-needed vitamins in one convenient drink, getting all the fiber from the produce (unlike juices), and...

I'm sorry. But you're welcome. Yet another matcha recipe. This time it's matcha crepes because YES.

I can't help myself. When I have delicious matcha from My Matcha Life sitting in eye-level in my cupboard, it just begs me to use it in any and...

My original body judgment/shaming post is still one of the most popular hits on my blog. I didn't think I needed a follow-up piece to it, because I had shared the majority of how I felt about it in that post. But more things happen, and unfortunate problems like these in our society don't just tend to disappear altogether. So, rather than assuming that things will change, I want to help CHAMPION this change. Problems don't change until we change them...

I'll get to this gluten-free gingerbread granola that will solve your penchant for gingerbread cookies in a second, but first, a little personal story.

Recently, it's been a period of self-reflection in my life. Thinking about my purpose, who I have become, what I can become more of and less of, and what is of priority to me in my life. 

Family is something that has always been of utmost importance to me. This article I read a few weeks ago gave me a rattling perspective of how precious this remaining time with my family in my life I have, so I've been thinking about it a lot lately. While I...

It's already 1 week into the New Year, and things are off to a running start! You guys will have noticed that I haven't yet posted this week, and there are a few reasons for this. Firstly...

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! Oh hey, 2016- where did you come from?! First things first, I wanted to say...

How many of us out there are used to making resolutions for the New Year? Knowing that they're made in good faith and determination, yet not having much of an action plan to carry those resolutions out? 

Hence, why I don't believe in resolutions. I DO, however, believe in action plans and your beliefs in yourselves. I made my...

How would you like to receive a tin of this gorgeously festive matcha peppermint bark for the holidays?

Edible gifts are my favorite kind to make and give. There's something about the process of creating and making something for someone that gives a present a special, personalized touch. Growing up, my family never had any "signature" holiday treats. For a lot of my friends, they'll talk about...

There's nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon come the holiday season. Put those together to get some apple-cinnamon oat pancakes on a Sunday morning, and you have yourself a winner!

I am allergic to apples. And that really sucks because I used to have an apple everyday when I was a kid, and it's in lots of tasty things like smoothies and green juices that I would like to eat. But here's the weird catch with my allergy: as long as the apples are cooked and/or pasteurized, I can have it. Apple juice from a box? No problem. Applesauce? Hurray! This is a relief because...

My first town I covered in this series of Hudson Valley weekend getaways from NYC was the adorable town of Hudson, which is fantastic for antique shopping, artisanal food, and wandering little streets. This week, I want to tell you guys about a hidden gem for a wonderfully quiet and peaceful weekend getaway: The Stewart House in Athens, NY...

Tis the season! It's been almost alarmingly warm here in NYC, with temperatures in the high 50's and even up in the 60's, but my holiday spirit is turned up full blast. Holiday spirit is currently very much needed everywhere in the world right now. The amount of...

Being in New York City can be a bit of a bubble- you sadly forget that an outside world exists sometimes. But while the city has endless things to offer, sometimes you need to get away from the hustle of it all and enjoy some nature- particularly during seasons as gorgeous as fall and winter...

It's been a bit of a frustrating few months, as my autoimmune issues seem to really like to flare up during fall. Therefore, I have been resorting back to steering clear of gluten and limiting my dairy and coffee intake. Enter this glorious Matcha Coconut Chia Pudding Whip...
