People ask me this question ALL THE TIME, so I figured, why not devote an entire blog post to it!

Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken, 2 Ways
/
Back in February, I got my first ever slow cooker and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances (shhh...don't tell my Vitamix!)
Today I want to share a couple of super simple slow cooker recipes that have quickly become my weekly staples. Make a batch or two to last all week!
(If you're a beginner in the kitchen, hate cooking, or don't have time to cook, these recipes are perfect for you!)
Read MorePumpkin Pie Pudding
/
This will hit the spot if you're looking for a small snack or dessert. Its smooth consistency reminds me of pumpkin pie filling (sans the cream, eggs, and sugar). The pumpkin is packed with beta carotene and fiber, while the sunflower seed butter (or almond butter) adds healthy fat and protein.
The prep is easy. All you need is a few basic pantry ingredients, a bowl and a spoon. The fanciest kitchen equipment you'll need are measuring spoons and a can opener!

On Sunday night, my boyfriend and I got back from a fun weekend getaway to Seattle.
I love trying local cuisine (without making a million modifications) and wanted to be flexible with my food choices since at home I adhere to a very cleanse-friendly lifestyle where I choose not to eat gluten, dairy, sugar, and soy.
So what happened when I ate whatever I wanted?

Read MoreEasy Oven-Baked Burgers
/
These burgers are SO ridiculously good (and EASY) that they make a regular appearance in my weekly food prep sessions. The seasoning (which I am obsessed with and got from Mark's Daily Apple) is so spot on that the burgers taste amazing as is, even without any toppings.
Cooking them in the oven means that you can get your multi-tasking on AND check things off your to-do list while they're cooking.

A couple of weeks ago, I hosted a dinner party for 6 of my friends. I love having people over (though I don't do it nearly as enough as I'd like to) and had a blast cooking for everyone. Admittedly, I got a bit carried away because there were so many recipes I wanted to make!
In today's post, I want to tell you about the 8 gluten-free recipes that I made. Some were new ones I wanted to try out and others were old favorites. I would definitely make them again!
I encourage you to give these a try...they're simple and delicious!
