Coconut Oil Fried Chicken Recipe
Food was one of the first things that I transitioned to healthier when I started changing my lifestyle. I really didn’t know much about healthy eating as my parents never taught me and we live in the deep South where fried foods and casseroles rule! As I’ve grown in my cooking, I’ve found new ways to incorporate old favorites. Fried chicken is definitely a BIG part of that. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be to make my comfort foods into healthier versions of themselves. I also like to share that progress is better than perfection and this isn’t something I’ve just up and changed overnight. My…

Grapefruit + avocado + Dijon mustard dressing = yum!
Oh yea, meet my new main food love! This salad creation is one that I owe all to my friend, Stephinee. I am lucky to have a few good friends in my life and she is definitely one of them! Along with just being great, she always gets me on a food level. I was at her home a few weeks ago for a salad-in-the-jar party and she wiped up this combo. Y’all, I actually said “what is THAT?!” Because it didn’t look appealing but she convinced me to try it and everything made sense. The combo of the grapefruit, avocado, greens and dijion lemon dressing was just perfect. I’m…

I have started looking into other alternatives because lets face it, as a mom of three and one on the way, I need all the energy I can get! I saw that Vital Proteins had a Matcha Collagen and I had to try it. I am so thankful that I did because…

THE BIG GAME is always really fun – not because I necessarily even know what teams are playing, haha. I enjoy it for the halftime show (Hey J.T.) and the food! Dips and apps are some of my favorite things to indulge in and today is the day my wildest food dreams come true. It makes it even better that I am pregnant and finally able to enjoy food again. We are choosing not going to a…

Healthy Gummies for the Entire Family
I’m pulling out all the stops during winter break and that means finding things to do that include the kids and keep our immune systems boosted. I cannot tell you how many cold, stomach virus and flu posts I’ve seen but thankfully only one person in our house has gotten sick all winter. Last year, when Nolan was in public school, he brought home everything known to man and it traveled through our household with a vengeance. I feel like we were all sick every week and it was so frustrating! This year, I’ve spent more focused time on the supplements we incorporate into our daily routine and ways to…
