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...
balance {selective neglect}
I recently heard the best explanation of the term “balance” ever…. “selective neglect”. (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’ll come back when the time is right.) 9 days...
Sweet Carrot, Lemon and Ginger Soup
Jesus answered, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (Why we start each post with a verse.) I’m always trying to figure out ways to get more bone broth in my family…especially in my picky kids! I recently made this simple carrot...

Perfect Egg Salad with Homemade Mayo and Lacto-Fermented Pickles {Gluten Free and Grain Free Option}
You’re either an egg salad person or you’re not. For me, egg salad sandwiches were one of the meals that I could actually handle eating during the first trimester of my current pregnancy. It helped me quiet the guilt of feeling like I wasn’t getting any of the essential nutrient dense foods I should eat...
Perfect Thai Coconut Soup ~ Tom (Kha) Gai or Goong
I am sort of obsessed with good Thai Coconut Soup. There is a local Thai restaurant that is amazing, and I order this every time I go there. I typically advice people to never order soup at a restaurant because it is typically made with a “soup base” which is some sort of MSG or...
