So Matcha Love
Spotted: pot of gold. Leprechaun: not included.
Making my own luck this morning with this COCONUT MATCHA CHIA PUDDING topped with coconut cream and a sprinkle of nature’s gold – aka bee pollen. I’m escaping the Irish invasion in Chicago today for St. Patrick’s Day, but couldn’t help but cheers the day with something green. Also celebrating a lot of luck (ie hard work) that’s recently paid off with some exciting news on the job and life front to come soon! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this Keto, Paleo and Whole30-friendly treat!

Nuts for Nuts
When life gets nuts, make nut butter. Or nut milk. Just get in kitchen and process out all those stressors. At least that’s my antidote for a case of the Sundays. This weekend I’ve been experimenting with all things nuts and let me tell you – it absolutely NUTS how easy it is to make your own nut butter or nut milks. Buckle your seat belts because I’ll be cracking (pun intended) all kinds of nut jokes as I give you the DL (that’s the down low for those not in the know) on the health benefits you’ll reap while spreading that creamy delicious pecan, pistachio or (insert favorite nut) butter.

Honey Bae
You know what makes me happier than a basket of puppies? This ORANGE CRANBERRY BREAD & ORANGE HONEY BUTTER. Okay, maybe not a as happy as a bundle of slobbery bulldogs, but close. Both of these recipes are graced with the sweetness of raw honey, which, as it turns out, has oodles of benefits beyond its tantalizing natural sweetness. Get the dEATs for my newfound favorite honey recipes and learn more about how raw, unpasteurized honey could be the next cure for the common cold (and more).

Superfood or Super Fad?
If you’re not sipping an acai and kale superfood smoothie and throwing back a double shot of matcha, followed by an ACV (apple cider vinegar, duh) chaser every morning, like, what are you doing with your life?
*insert eyeroll as big as an Instagram mega-influencer following*
With new “superfoods” and fad diets popping up on the daily, it can be near impossible to keep up with the hype. Even worse, it seems like two minutes later there’s evidence that the latest crown jewel is actually a cheap knock-off. So how are we supposed to navigate the moguls of the new food landscape? Read on for my take on “superfood” or “super hype”.
