Remember these? That’s what I knew as granola bars growing up. That’s what I put in my dance bag to have as a “healthy” snack between classes. It had oats in it, which are healthy right? Yes but what about all the other ingredients? Most protein and granola bars have soy lecithin, soy protein, corn

Healthy Fresh Mexican Salad
In honor of Cinco de Mayo I wanted to share one of my favorite Healthy Fresh Mexican Salads. Most Mexican dishes are filled with beans, cheese, and corn. All of which my stomach welcomes in as much as the priest invites a mariachi band to Sunday Mass. They don’t quite work well together. This healthy Mexican dish is
Pork and Greens
Bacon. I love it. Every time I cook it, my roommate hates me. I don’t understand how someone who eats meat cannot like anything bacon wrapped, effused, cooked with, etc but she gives me the stank eye every time the smell wafts into her bedroom. She did however give me a cute bacon flatten-er for Christmas last
Breakfast of Champions
For me breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. It’s nutrients and energy will take you through out your day, so why not start off on the right foot food? When I did my elimination diet, I struggled to find what I should eat for breakfast. I wasn’t eating any grains (byebye
I Need the Crunch
Kale Chips: The crunch without a bunch (of unhealthy things like potato chips have). Who doesn’t love snacking on some chips?

As I started to eat cleaner,

Have no fear, squash is here! That’s right, it’s squash season and spaghetti squash is a more nutritious choice for making pasta
The Dirty Dozen
Six one way, half a dozen the other? Not exactly when it comes to organic foods.. Buying organic is expensive but, for me, worth it. If you want to invest your money in something why not invest in your daily health? What you eat is is literally the fuel for your body. It affects your mood and
Crockpot 101
Many times my crockpot becomes a crappot. What ever left over veggies and meat I have, I sprinkle it with seasoning and throw it all into the crappot crockpot. So many people have been asking me for crockpot recipes. I don’t have any one specific recipe to share at the moment, but here is a
Heavenly Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Reader meet Pamela’s Products, Pamela’s Products meet Reader. Pamela is all about nutritious, whole, gluten free, treats. One of my favorite things about Pamela’s Products: you can get most of the mixes at Jewel or your local grocery store. I first met Pamela’s Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix when one of my paleo friends decided to switch up
