happy, healthy & hot

If you do nothing else this week…

buy some pre-washed organic baby spinach.  It has such a mild taste so it’s super versatile. Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse.  It’s loaded with important minerals, including manganese, magnesium, iron and copper.  Copper is so important for your skin.  It’s also rich in vitamins A and K as well as many B vitamins.  And it’s […]

Creamy clam chower…

without the cream. Definitely a challenge.  But one I was up for.   Love clam chowder, but most recipes include dairy and flour, two things I try to avoid. So I played around and came up with my own happy, healthy and hot version that’s loaded with clams and still nice and creamy thanks to a […]

Rosé all day…

is probably not such a great idea. I’d rather just hang out on this inflatable bottle of rosé and replenish my vitamin D stores! But I do enjoy a nice glass of wine.  Usually a dry red. Problem is, most wines sold in the US are loaded with additives.  Which can lead to headaches and […]

Mustard glazed salmon and veggies…

tastes just as amazing as it sounds. And it was one of those meals where I literally threw everything on a baking sheet, dumped a magical sauce on top, and threw it in the oven. Boom.  Dinner is served.  And as a bonus, the ingredients support gorgeous, glowing skin and a hot body. Here’s what […]

In honor of Presidents Day…

I whipped up this cherry mocha shake. I cannot tell a lie…this was totally inspired by a treat I saw at Starbucks while I was charging my phone before heading to the airport.  There were signs everywhere for the Cherry Mocha Frappucino. It sounded appealing, but I knew it would be loaded with sugar.  So […]

matcha + vanilla + collagen =

a skin loving shake that tastes delicious. I’ve talked about matcha before…it has such amazing health benefits, but I don’t love the grassy flavor. I’ve learned to enjoy it as a latte, and recently posted a recipe:  Magical Matcha And since I’m always looking for ways to work more magic into my life, I came […]

This spicy Southwest chicken soup…

is a hit every time I make it. It’s super quick to make and totally delicious.  And loaded with ingredients that are amazing for you.  Total win-win! I made some last week while listening to “Finesse” by Bruno Mars and Cardi B on repeat…crazy about that song.  Also loving the new one from Camilla Cabello…”Never […]

Valentine's Day treats…

are always fun. And it’s perfectly acceptable to treat yourself! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite happy, healthy and hot Valentine’s Day treats.  What makes these extra special is that these are all from companies that I really love.. And in most cases, I have some type of personal connection.  Love doing business with […]

Super Bowl Snacks

It’s no secret who I’m rooting for.  I’m not even really a football fan…just an Eagles fan. This will be the first year since 2004 that I pay any attention to the game.  I’m usually just in it for the commercials and half time show.  And yes, totally looking forward to JT’s performance. But no […]
