happy, healthy & hot

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!

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 […]

[…]

Since you are consuming the entire leaf, rather than just steeping in hot water, matcha is much higher in antioxidants than traditional green tea (which is already a […]

Egg roll in a bowl…

is my latest bowl obsession. I’m all about bowls…here’s a post I wrote awhile back: Build a better bowl But egg roll in a bowl is new to me.  I can’t take credit for the idea.  I heard about it from Sara at The Bettered Blondie.  I’ve been following her on Instagram recently…she’s adorable and […]
