This fun recipe is a great way to indulge in your nacho cravings, without heaps of unnecessary salt and fat. Cauliflower, a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate, is one of those magical vegetables redefining how we think about “junk food.” I LOVE making buffalo cauliflower bites to get in my veggies... Is there anything this vegetable can’t do? This recipe starts by roasting cauliflower in the oven, to get them golden brown. I recommend spreading out the cauliflower florets as much as possible, so they can toast up nicely. The cumin, sea salt, chili powder, and garlic powder give an extra boost to an already delicious dish. And don’t forget the oil. It is the key to getting your v

These days, Halloween is a much more family-friendly event, filled with creative and playful costumes, pumpkins on doorsteps, haunted houses, and plenty of festive treats. And I don’t know about you, but I usually associate this holiday with heaps of sugar. Chocolate bars, toffees, candies, you name it. It’s enough sugar to make my teeth hurt just thinking about it — and to get your kids really bouncing off the walls! Thank goodness it only comes around once a year… What I love about this jack-o’-lantern stuffed peppers recipe is that it’s a festive twist on a savory dish that lets my family enjoy the holiday with a little less sugar. They’re a fun Halloween treat to prepare for your kids an

Hey y'all -- I've been in Dallas for over ONE MONTH! I wanted to share how things are going with the trip so far. (If you are just hearing from me now, I quit my full-time marketing job in August to pursue online coaching and travel the U.S.). First off - I LOVE this city. It's clean, vibrant and full of active young professionals. There are different neighborhoods (much like Philadelphia). There is a trendy area (Uptown), Hipster area (Deep Ellum), Arts area (Arts District) and a ton of other areas. The best part about setting my own hours while running my business, is that I've had time to check out some awesome events in the Big D. Here are some of the things I've checked out thus far: St

Have you tried on your skinny jeans yet this season? If they are a little more snug than you expected them to be…I’m with you girlfriend! I realized pretty quickly that I enjoyed one too many loaded Coronas, Taco Tuesdays and ice cream cones over the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I had a BLAST – but I don’t want my fun to be the reason I have to buy a bigger jean size. Can you relate? If your jeans are tight and you’re finding yourself only wearing lulu leggings or sweaters to cover up a muffin top, then it’s time to do something about it BEFORE we get too far into the holiday season. It’s time to say adios to that summer fun weight and ROCK THOSE SKINNY JEANS THIS FALL! If this sounds like yo
