Or let’s rephrase that. Are you ready to eat SUPER-YUMMY food with us (that just happens to have no refined sugar) for the month of January? Yes! We were hoping you’d say that.

It is not a cleanse....

Any of this? source Beads + Alcohol can make people do crazy things. Just ask Kitty. I will not be going out to celebrate Fat Tuesday because I will be working. The thought of going out and having drunk 22 year olds slam into me in a bar, while spilling their cheap beer all over me, as I fight for parking, witness a few bar fights, and get asked to flash someone for a string of 3 cent beads doesn’t really sound like a good time to me....

comment icon 275 more comments These lettuce wraps are a big deal, because a) they taste, obviously, aaaamazing, and b) they are lettuce wraps that know how to actually keep you full. That’s right. I said ACTUALLY KEEP YOU FULL. None of this two-tablespoons-of-ground-chicken-in-a-lettuce-leaf-counting-as-a-meal business. I LOVE lettuce wraps. I also love to be full after a meal, and sometimes it is hard to find a lettuce wrap that can deliver....

comment icon 126 more comments No, ma’am, this is not a drill. What you’re getting today is my happiest TGIF summer self, high on fresh organic peaches, exploding blueberries, salted butter, some sugar, and whole wheat pastry flour because we’re so fansay like that. Ugh. I can’t even handle us right now. The making of six blueberry peach cakes might have already made it a little obvious that I do indeed 💕 love 💕 this cake – and extra real love points when I bust out the emoji hearts....

Easy Barbecue Grilled Shrimp Recipe Grilled shrimp have so much flavor, especially when they’re brushed with a mixture of honey barbecue sauce, garlic, olive oil, and finished with lemon juice for a tangy pop and fresh cilantro to round out the flavor profile. This grilled barbecue shrimp recipe is fast, easy, healthy, ready in 10 minutes, and is a perfect way to take advantage of your grill before the weather turns too chilly....

Spicy BBQ Chicken on The Grill The chicken is spicy enough but not too spicy with the perfect amount of barbecue sauce flavor. There’s just nothing like the flavor of chicken on the grill. If you like things extra spicy, I would add extra sriracha sauce to kick things up a few notches. And then give this Grilled Sriracha Lime Chicken recipe a try too since it’s got plenty of firepower and with lime too!...

Before hair (picture from this post two days ago) After picture Ahhh, much better. While I was at the salon I picked up my favorite shampoo and conditioner that I’ve raved about before. It’s called Unite and it’s sulfate-free as well as all of these things: I also picked up my favorite Leave-In/Detangler called It’s a 10 As the name suggest, it is A Miracle. A couple sprays and it will cut through the worst of tangles, no gloppy buildup, does not weigh fine hair down....

Will you be going out? Or will you be staying in and keeping your pumpkin company? Maybe passing out candy to the kiddos? Being that the “holiday” falls on a Monday, there’s a built-in opportunity to turn this weekend into one big long and drawn out party. Starting Thursday night and continuing through Monday night for some, I’m sure. It won’t be quite as crazy here as Pride Weekend, but close to it....

I hope everyone is enjoying the “holiday” and that you’re doing a little something to participate in Monday’s candyfest. Or maybe you did something to celebrate over the weekend. Skylar has a Halloween party at her school on Monday and then we have trick-or-treating in the evening. I am sure the little Princess will be wired but tired when it’s all over, but for now, she’s really excited to get into that Princess costume....

Healthy Burrito Bowl Recipe The great thing about burrito bowls, including this recipe, is that they’re highly flexible based on what you have on hand and enjoy. I also love that rice and beans fill you up without stuffing you, and you’re satisfied for hours. Between the fiber and water content in the lettuce, tomato, and corn — and without the tortilla wrap carbs in a traditional burrito — you’ve got yourself a healthier burrito option that’s ready in less than 10 minutes!...

Healthy Morning Glory Muffins I absolutely adored these healthy carrot muffins and ate five immediately out of the oven, no shame. I love baked goods with a lot of texture so between the chewy raisins and carrots, I was literally in my morning glory. Remember you can add/omit things like raisins, nuts, other dried fruit, etc. to your liking. Combined with knowing they were a healthier alternative, sweetened with applesauce, and there is only 2/3 cup sugar for the whole batch, these are muffins I want to keep on hand in the freezer to pull out for breakfast, snacks, or when I want something sweet without guilt....

Like addressing envelopes because I also ordered our Holiday Cards and they arrived. You’re thinking isn’t it a little early? Well, yes, it is. But, I will be traveling in December and without access to US Mail so getting the cards in the mail that is crucial. I got a package in the mail from Navitas Naturals: Hemp Seeds, Trail Mix, Lip Balm, and a Superfoods Recipe Booklet Back to Navitas Naturals…I love lip balm....

Copycat Girl Scout Thin Mints Thin Mints are those Girl Scout Cookies that I can eat an entire tube of in a sitting. Oh, you too? I decided to try my hand at a homemade, no-bake, vegan version of Thin Mints. They should be called Thin Mints Cheater’s Mints. No-bake and so easy. What’s the catch, you’re wondering? Ritz Crackers. I promise these homemade Thin Mints don’t taste like crackers. The crackers provide a neutral base layer, nice crunch, and are a dead-ringer in size and shape for what will become cookies....

Stopped and smelled the rosemary in front of TJ’s It grows wild here like lavender does so I don’t buy it but I do love to cook with it. Nothing beats the combo of roasted potatoes with some rosemary Or roasted potatoes with dill Lemon & Dill Roasted Potato Sticks I also noticed all the frozen potato varieties that TJ’s has Lots of options Now that the weather is cooling off, I think it’s time to think about firing up my oven and roasting some taters....
