This Detox Salad Will Give you All The Spa Vibes
I have this weird thing with fruit — I don’t like it in things. I love berries and stone fruit and citrus on their own always, but when it comes to tossing those same things into a bowl with yogurt or a salad and even dessert, count me out. It’s an aversion I’ve had for as long as I can remember, […]
These Superfood Popsicles are Model Approved
Recently I listened to the most inspiring podcast interview with Elle Macpherson in which she shared her approach to wellness and how she stays as beautiful as ever by taking care of both her physical and mental health. Ever since, I’ve been dying to get my hands on her Super Elixir Alkalising Greens, so I was thrilled when […]
This Healthy Mexican Bowl Will Make You Kick Your Chipotle Habit
Around Austin, when we say “Mexican food,” we typically mean “Tex Mex.” And for most, the thought of Tex Mex usually brings to mind melted cheese, soppy grease, and sugar-filled margaritas. Don’t get us wrong, there’s a time and a place for alllll that, but in the interest of our ever-evolving wellness journeys, we knew we needed a […]
Baked Salmon with Pesto and Broccolini
One of the complaints I hear most from my single friends is that they feel completely unmotivated to cook for one. And then when the mood does strike, they find themselves over-shopping, resulting in unused groceries that go to waste altogether. I’ve totally been there, and I get it. So we thought we’d whip up a […]
Healthy Chiles Rellenos
Here in Austin, it feels like we just made a beeline straight from winter temps right into bikini weather (Spring? What Spring?) Although this heat-loving south Texas girl doesn’t mind the quick transition, as I shop for my new swimsuit in March, I’m reminded that it’s time to spring clean my diet a bit. When you come from a […]
Hoisin Chicken Cabbage Tacos
photos by Ashleigh Amoroso On our first date, Adam picked me up and whisked me away to… the diviest Chinese restaurant I’d ever seen. In hindsight, it was totally out of character for a guy who loves his high-end dining, but since we worked together at the time, we were kind of keeping things on the […]
Beet Hummus
“Seriously dip almost anything in this beet hummus, put it on top of a salad, add it to a sandwich, the list goes on. If you ever find yourself reaching for a sugar filled snack or even hitting the vending machine when you need a little something in between meals, try this recipe out!” — […]
Smashed Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Chimichurri
Have I mentioned that I *might* be slightly addicted to sweet potatoes? Yes? Well, fortunately it’s a habit I’m not the slightest bit ashamed of, since sweet potatoes are chock full of vitamins A, C, and B6, plus fiber and potassium, and they are one of the most delicious foods on the entire planet. My love for […]
2 Delicious Ways to Put a Twist on Hummus
It was 80 degrees in Austin last weekend, and I threw on a bikini and jumped in the pool. Nevermind that it’s the middle of February; that one hot day was all it took to send me into total countdown-to-summer mode. Over the past few days, I’ve ordered a new swimsuit, sipped a margarita, and […]
Jam-Filled Gluten-Free Muffins
These muffins took a few tries to get just perfect because, well, gluten-free baking is not for the faint of heart. I wanted these to be worthy of Valentine’s Day breakfast, which means that they needed to taste moist and sweet and more indulgent than they actually are. And finally, after a few tries that didn’t […]
Green Kitchen Travels’ Cold Avocado Soup
Michelle Adams of The Maryn served this cold vegan soup as an appetizer during her healthy January lunch. “You can prepare this a day ahead and keep in a closed container in the fridge,” she says. “If you’re not vegan you can also try replacing the coconut milk with yogurt.” She adapted this recipe from one […]
Kale, Persimmon, & Pomegranate Salad
2016 was the year that I finally boarded the persimmon train. I know, I know: those of you who were early adopters are shaking your heads in bewilderment that I’ve made it this far in my adult life without falling in love with persimmons, but there you have it. I’d always walk right past the […]

She roasts them in the oven for about 4o minutes with vinegar and orange peel. The result? A beet with a delicious and milder […]

3 Delicious Wasa Cracker Breakfast Toasts
If I had to describe my eating habits in a nutshell, these toasts would be it. My approach is a lot less cooking and a lot more assembly, and as a result, I’m able to fill my diet with fresh, healthy ingredients, without spending tons of time and energy on it. Some might call it lazy; I call it efficient. […]
Pecan & Coconut Granola with Yogurt & Berries
Granola is one of my biggest weaknesses. I think it’s something about that sweet-salty-crunchy combo; if I know it’s in the pantry, resistance is futile. Since I’m not planning to ban granola from my life any time soon, I’ve been making lots of homemade versions that are way healthier than the processed sugar-laden ones you usually find at […]
