My smoothie bowl kicks go in spurts. I'll make them non-stop for a while, and then I won't make a single one for months. For no reason, really. The smoothie droughts are just a change of scenery in my daily food journey.
Well, you could say that right now I'm on a kick. I can't get enough big, bright, cold bowls that taste so good. It's my version of a cold soup.
So today I'm sharing a current favorite of mine - mixed berry.,,
Read MoreAhhh it's almost the weekend. Which I always associate with lingering breakfast, extra coffee and just relaxing. And it usually involves a grain-free pancake.
So in honor of the weekend that is juuuust about here. And in an effort get my mind off the craziness and changes that are happening in politics, I'm sharing these pancakes. Because blueberry pancakes make me happy, no matter what.

I love the start of the new year. More so because of all the inspiration to eat clean and move more. Now, I'm not talking about resolutions that last one month and die... I'm talking about an overall look at what we are doing in our daily lives and we either continue doing it, or we tweak it a bit to make our bodies feel better.

To ease my mind and my nerves, I walk, I work out, I do yoga... I keep my body moving and my head clear. And I'm going to write about these waffles.
Because they remind me of my favorite time: Sunday mornings.

Read MoreIt's apple season! Which means we've been picking a looot of apples. And drinking a looot of apple cider.
Chad is a simple syrup guy. Always making different kinds - ginger, peach, blueberry, lavender - you name it. And recently he made an apple cider simple syrup.
He simply cooked down apple cider with orange peels. That's it! And that's brilliant...
Concentrated apple cider goodness.
Read MoreHappy hump day!
We are halfway through the week. One day closer to the weekend. And for me, one day closer to these pancakes...
It's becoming a tradition of sorts. On Sundays, it's a long run followed by coffee and brunch. And just about every Sunday, I've been making these pancakes.
