In our house we are constantly trying to add quality sources of protein to our kids’ meals. All of our kids are very active, but our oldest daughter is a competitive junior olympic gymnast at one of the top training centers in the world…which means she works her body like a professional athlete for up...
Thanksgiving is already here! We pray you’ll take the time to savor the time, creating memories to last a lifetime. I thought I’d put together a list of items you might find useful and interesting this week, from food planning and recipes for the big day to catching up on good reading, watching and listening....
My philosophy on dieting and eating is to get married instead of getting divorced. When we focus on breaking up with foods we are passionately in love with, we are setting ourselves up for relapse and heart break. When we allow ourselves to fall deeply, madly in love with foods that we don’t ever have...

(For example…even though I haven’t published a blog post in weeks- actually months- I’m going to stop writing now that I’ve written a sentence and watch a movie with my husband instead.

I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 I’m so happy to guest posting today at Traditional Cooking School by GNOWFGLINS with a heart warming recipe that is actually vegan, gluten and...
Around the time when pomegranates become in season, I like to spend some time every week removing all the seeds from pomegranates so I can have a container full of them ready for anything. (Make sure to wear protective clothing when working with pomegranates. I always find pomegranate juice spots on the opposite side of...
