With Easter quickly approaching I wanted to share a fun and simple recipe for my take on deviled eggs…Superfood Easter Eggs! This is a great side or appetizer to offer at your Easter dinner.

Need a Simple Way to Know What to Eat?

I have found the simplest way to know how much of what things to eat and it’s by using a plate diagram. This is Dr. Josh Axe’s diagram from his website and I think it is genius. I love how simple this is and I would measure the plate at 9 inches in diameter. (An…

Superfood Salad Dressing

I am always in search of delicious salad dressings because I love and live on salads. I stumbled upon this one by accident and I am slightly obsessed.

Why I Want You to Drink Green Tea
