This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. Ok my friends, Chicken Salsa Verde is by far the easiest recipe to date! With only 4 ingredients, this slow cooker chicken is easy and simple Mexican comfort food. This recipe was developed while my husband and I were on Whole30. I was looking for a dinner that would make us feel like we were splurging but was made with clean, healthy ingredients. The first round of Whole30 is a challenge. Eating clean, unprocessed food for 30 days straight is fantastic but does require a lot planning and preparation. When working, raising a family, and caring for a household, it’s tough…

Sticky Fingers Bakeries Original Scone Mix is the base I use to create my simple and semi-homemade lemon scones. I love to entertain, and I love providing tasty options for my family and guests to munch on. Sticky Fingers Bakeries Scone…

The five healthy ingredients are quick and easy to work with, making this recipe an appetizer that hits all the marks.

If you are anything like me, you have several deliveries being made to your home during the holiday season. The employees making these deliveries are helping our holiday season be simplified and more enjoyable. One simple way to give back is to take care of your delivery persons by placing out some drinks and single serve snacks for them to grab n go during their busy days. Last year I used a couple of small boxes to place the items in and left a note written in sharpie. This year I tried to make the offering a little more festive for them. I created a sign to tape on the…

Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. Using all clean ingredients, this dairy-free, healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe has become a household favorite. This is nothing like the national favorite you’ll find at your local Starbucks which contains 380 calories, 14 grams of fat, 52 carbs, and 50 grams of sugar. My homemade version cuts those values down to 175 calories, 8 grams of fat, 5 carbs, and 2 grams of sugar. Being a clean and healthy recipe, this Pumpkin Spice Latte contains no dairy, no soy, and no gluten. Using 100% real pumpkin puree adds fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Also, should you choose to omit…

Whether hosting or a guest, here are some tips on how to stay organized during the days and weeks leading up to Thanksgiving day. First let me start by saying, it has taken me YEARS to get this organized. There were many Thanksgivings where I felt like I had epic failures.

Whole30 Quick and Easy Avgolemono Soup
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. This Whole30 quick and easy, creamy, lemony, chicken soup is only 7 ingredients. It’s a one pot meal that’s a lifesaver for busy nights when you crave something indulgent and hearty but prefer a dish that’s light and healthy too. With the cooler weather arriving, I have really been craving something warm and velvety. Being in week two of my first Whole30, not being able to run out and grab a container of one of my favorite soups, Avgolemono, posed a bit of a challenge. Traditionally, this soup contains white rice which is a no-no under the Whole30 guidelines of no…
