If you follow me on Instagram Stories or are in my private Facebook Group (request to join and I'll accept you!), you know I've been pretty open about our F-Factor journey and what Austin and I have done to lose weight and make healthier choices. Our goal this year was to shed a few extra pounds and actually stick with this as a lifestyle. A lot of you have requested "grab and go" snacks that would support a low-carb/high fiber diet, so I wanted to share what we keep on hand. ...
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Anyone else been getting 10x more use out of their kitchen lately? Same. Aus and I both have been working really hard this year on cleaning up our diets and trying to strike more of that "balance" they say is possible. For the most part it's been going well, but I have to admit, this quarantine situation has me craving all the delicious baked goods and junk food. Honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's this craving that led me to start experimenting with cookie recipes and you guys, I think I landed on a serious winner! ...
What I’m Making for Thanksgiving — Green Bean Casserole Recipe
I love a good green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. Next to stuffing, it might be my favorite holiday side. Austin would disagree though -- he's more of a Mac and Cheese guy all the way. But he did say this was the best green bean casserole he ever had. He hasn't stopped talking about it since I made this recipe for Friendsgiving last week. ...
Our Starbucks Summer Drink Order
We appreciate a good cup of coffee around here and now that iced coffee season is upon us (as if it ever went anywhere), we are making more trips to our nearby Starbucks.
Between Austin, Victoria and myself, one of us usually makes a coffee run two or three times a week. I'm a creature of habit and typically stick with my Iced Chai, but I love to see what everyone else orders. And if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll try something new. ...
Trader Joe’s Healthy Breakfast Scramble
TRADER JOE'S CHICKEN SAUSAGE EGG SCRAMBLE
Yields 2 Servings
We get all of these ingredients at Trader Joe's, however, you can find many of them at your local grocery store. There's really no "right" way to make this. It's totally up to personal taste on how much veggies you want to include. ...
Pink Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
I've been on such a smoothie kick lately. Not sure if it's a pregnancy craving or if it's my body wanting clean foods, but I drink 3 or 4 a week. And now that our kitchen is almost done, I'm jumping on every opportunity to use it. ...
My Recipe for Easy Bone Broth Soup
Although Bone Broth has been around for ages, Austin and I just discovered this tasty and healthy soup while in London. And we loved it!
Bone Broth is a versatile option that many chefs use as a base for soups, gravies, sauces and more. We personally like to use it as a base for soup. And after trying it in London, we came home and created a similar recipe that we hope you all enjoy as much as we do! ...
Building the Perfect Charcuterie Board
Each year, Austin and I enjoy throwing a little holiday party with our closest friends. This year has been a bit tricky since we just moved and have zero furniture (more on that later) but we are going to try and do a small NYE party. We figured why not embrace the empty house. We will rent some chairs and tables and spend the evening ringing in the new year with our friends. ...
A Toast to the Host
Whether it’s a dinner party or a weekend at a friend’s cabin, the holiday season is filled with all kinds of fun invitations. Some of our fondest memories of holiday seasons past involve these types of cozy winter gatherings with friends and family. But no matter where you’re headed this season, one thing’s for sure: you should definitely show up bearing some sort of gift. But what to bring? This depends on the host and his or her preferences, but I always suggest going with a classic bottle of wine and something unique to help them stock their bar cart. I love customizing hostess gifts so that they fit the personality and interests of the host and Chloe Wine Collection has yet to disappoint. ...
