Should I Accommodate for Others' Food Allergies? How?
With food allergy rates on the rise, more spaces are becoming allergen-free zones. This can cause confusion about what you can bring to work to safely eat, as well as, what kids can take to school if their classroom is a designated allergy-free zone. Here is some information to grow your knowledge about food allergies, reading labels, and some snack options to set yourself (and those around you) up for success.
3 Common Breakfast Practices to Avoid
Avoid these common breakfast mistakes to ensure that you have a successful day and you’re fueling your body for long-term success.
Lemon Poppyseed Cupcakes
Everyone deserves a tasty treat on their birthday! Scratch that. Treats shouldn’t just be reserved for birthdays. How about a nice lemony cupcake on a Tuesday for no other reason than you just felt like it?! This recipe contains real food ingredients that make this treat behave a touch kinder in your body, so that you can enjoy without any bloat or discomfort.
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I enjoy living the gluten-free life. There are very few times that I find myself longing for a better alternative recipe because I just haven’t found the right gluten-free replacement yet. Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of those few exceptions. I’m glad that I’ve cracked the code on the chew chip version!

2 yrs, 3 months, and 1 day.
That’s how long it’s been since I walked into a grocery store. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve felt the freedom to peruse and purchase groceries for myself. Holy hell that’s a long time!
A Love Letter To My Hair
There are some things in life that we just assume will always be there. Things that we don’t think twice about. For me, one of those things is my hair. My hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, etc. I’ve thought about all of the ways that I would change them if I could but until now, I hadn’t taken pause to appreciate them and realize just how much they offer me. For me, I didn’t think about this until I began facing the prospect of losing my hair due to medical treatments. This is the very reason that I sat down one night, in an effort to process what is to come and wrote a love letter to my hair.
Burst Tomato & Arugula Tartine
Tartine. It’s a fancy (French) way of saying a slice of bread with savory or sweet toppings. Since I like to keep things classy over here, we’re calling this recipe a tartine but you’re welcome to call it bread or toast if you prefer. I won’t judge you.
This simple, seasonal recipe can be enjoyed as a light main or as a starter. It’s a stunning option for any late summer setting and is an easy way to appeal to a diverse table of dietary desires. It can easily be made with gluten-full or gluten-free bread of choice and the spread can contain dairy (goat cheese, feta, or ricotta) or you can opt for the cashew-based cheese spread recipe included. You do you!
Butternut Mac & Spicy Kale
Whether you long for the days of a simple mac and cheese, but no longer lead the dairy-full lifestyle or you’re just a fan of butternut squash, this meal will be for you.
Spicy Kale
This is a great way to add a little kick to an otherwise love or hate leafy green. Kale can be quite divisive in the food world. I find this to be a great way to consume this nutrient-rich green without any adverse textures or flavor.
