Beef Stew with Sweet Potatoes- Whole 30 Friendly
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a stove, asking for dinner to make itself. Fortunately this wasn’t quite as difficult and time consuming as I imagined in my mind it would be.

Ingredients: 1 lb lean stew meat (can sub chicken) 2 tsp EVOO 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced & peeled 2 large red potatoes, diced & peeled 1 c chopped carrots 1 large green pepper, diced 2 tbsp minced yellow onion 1 can diced tomatoes 2 tsp oregano 1 tsp garlic salt 1 c beef stock (Whole 30 approved) Himalayan sea…

Embarking on the Whole 30 Journey… With Breakfast Hash
Hello 2017! Hello “New Year, New Me”. I vowed I wasn’t going to overhaul my life this year. I wasn’t going to make a “big change”. I like the ME that I am. I don’t need a new “me”. So, I decided that I was going to pick a few things to improve where I needed to and focus on having more fun. Living a little bit more. Take more trips. Love harder. Laugh more. Give my kids so many snuggles that by 2018 they were sick of me! And be a really good wife. You know, one that doesn’t complain about the trash not being taken out, because…

Deer Season Chili
We live about 2 hours from my in-laws. When the weather gets cold we can count on heading that way at least one weekend each month. Hunting season starts. The men trudge out at 4:30 am and we sleep snugly under fuzzy blankets until the sun comes peeking in the windows. We emerge in slippers to a pot of coffee and a batch of pancakes off the griddle and spend the day doing crafts, playing with Playdough, and preparing a yummy dinner for when they return. One of my favorites is my mother-in-laws chili. There’s something about a big pot of chili on a Sunday afternoon to fill up…

Grocery Shopping on a Budget
One of the questions I am most frequently asked regarding eating clean and meal planning is “How do you do it on a budget?” It does take some planning but it is absolutely doable. We are a family of five, our kids are 7, 4 and 2, and believe me, they eat a lot. I stick to a $100/week max budget and what I have leftover we put away for splurges or Costco trips. Below are some tips and tricks to help you stay clean, stay healthy, and stay budget-friendly each week! Building your Pantry: The key to making a list and sticking to it is having a menu to…

A Lot Can Happen In One Year (My 1 year Transformation)
On September 19th, 2014 I took a leap. I decided to take some steps to better my fitness. I decided I wanted to improve my nutrition, and overall health. I was almost 6 months postpartum with our third baby girl and I was doing ok. I was working out a little bit here and there. Trying to make it to the gym 3x/wk and eating as healthy as I could. I was also breastfeeding, in school part-time, was stressed to the max and just feeling like I didn’t have it all together. So why not add something else to my plate, right?! I joined Beachbody as a coach. I wanted…

Mommy Guilt
Mommy Guilt. We all have it… It starts when they’re teeny tiny, that first week old and thinking “Man, I just want to take a shower without this tiny earthling attached to me around the clock!” And as soon as I jump in the shower it never fails, the baby cries and the guilt sets in! Now that they’re a little older the guilt is less…guilty… I guess. But I still get that heartache when I have to leave them for an extended period of time. I was thinking that last night as I was packing my bags for our 4 day getaway this weekend to Nashville, that this will…
