Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.

by Sara Sullivan RECHARGE NOW! Every day, millions of Americans complain of being tired & moody. Most of us chalk it up to having too much to do and not enough time to do it. But often the true culprit is an everyday habit: what we eat, which impacts how we cope emotionally. The food-mood...
Hey there, Lacy here! We’re going to be hosting a few guest posters over the next few weeks! Today I’d like to welcome Simone Samuels of The Wellness Warung.

This one is a little different, in that it’s pretty meat-lite, and doesn’t start with a roast at all! In fact, this menu is extremely hot-weather friendly;...

It’s snowing like CRAZY here today! But luckily, the little one and I are enjoying a little baking warm inside. I’m baking up some treats for her second birthday party this Saturday! We’re having a tea party, but here’s the catch: To accommodate the food sensitivities of some of our honored guests, I’m challenged...
