Our family LOVES sweets, so I am continuously on a mission to give decadent family recipes a makeover and create treats that taste great but that are better for us. This oatmeal cookie recipe started with no flour and no butter/coconut oil, but left a very dry cookie, which wasn’t what I was going for!…

Eat. Sweat. Repeat. 3 Ways to Fuel up for Fitness!
Although I usually like to think of eating as more of an art, there are moments when it is a true science. Take fitness for example. Many women I know try to restrict the food they eat to accomplish weight loss goals, and completely sabotage their health (and weight loss) along the way. The way…
Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema
