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!

Sugar Dragons, Be Gone
Yes, I will accept the final rose and yes, these raspberry cacao “truffles” are here for all the right reasons. See, this week is both Valentine’s Day and my birthday, so in honor of a week that is inevitably going to be sweet central, I’m taking on 5 days of no added sugar. Read on for my not-so-secret sugar fighting tips along with the recipes that will have you swearing off added sugar, too.

Whole30 Reflections
Okay, okay so I said my last post was the “Final Frontier” for Whole30, but I couldn’t help but bask in the glow for one last post on Day 28. Because on Day 28 I’m feeling…pretty great. Sure, it was one helluva rollercoaster (even the second time around), but I’m feeling high as a kite with the end in sight. Also….I’ve apparently turned into Dr. Seuss. I’ll spare you any more rhymes, but I do have a few more recipes up my sleeve, including green (deviled) eggs! Read on for a flurry of new recipes and some final reflections on Whole30.

Whole30 Survival Guide: Final Frontier
Eat well, move daily, laugh often, sleep lots and love your body. Repeat for life.
Is it really that simple? Maybe. At least it feels a heckuva lot simpler on Day 21 of Whole30. Scientists are still arguing whether 21 days is truly the magic number for forming a good habit, but I’m starting to believe in the magic. Meal prep is the norm, I’ve got a roster of MVF’s (most valuable foods) to save the day and the sugar dragons seem to be hibernating for the winter. Sure, I’m still looking forward to tacos in Mexico in 2 weeks, but I’m also not agonizing over my every meal. Hopefully you’re feeling those good habit vibes, but if you’re still looking for some recipes to shake up the last nine days and tips to surviving social outings, you’ve come to the right place! Read on for the dEATs.
