Eat Life Whole - Tshirts

A few months ago, Springer and I stepped away from the kitchen, closed our computers, and headed over to a local DIY workshop to learn all about the screen printing process. We left inspired to print more by hand…just for you! Why we share “Eat Life Whole”? Almost two years before launching “Eat Life Whole,” we joked about creating a [...]

Green grass, long sunny days, fresh strawberries and warmer weather. Summer is right around the corner and I can already smell the dinners roasting on the grill. What better way to leap into summer than firing up the BBQ! It’s one of the best ways to have dinner outside with the family or spend an afternoon entertaining friends. Looking for [...]

Chinese Chicken Salad

Chinese Chicken Salad | Eat Life Whole

I love Chinese Chicken Salad, and I have to say that this cliche all-American Chinese dish sits right up there with the rest of the western classics – like the good ol’ ceasar or the hearty cobb.  What I love most about the salad is the texture It’s all about the thinly chopped, watery Iceberg lettuce, sprinkles of fried noodles, [...]

My Mother’s Day Gifts to Myself

MothersDayHeader2

Since my mom passed away a few years ago, I haven’t really “done” Mother’s Day. Certainly not with the same enthusiasm as I did when Mom was still around. I let the day come and go quietly. Even for my very-much-alive and fabulously wonderful stepmother of 34 years. Lucky for me, she has gracefully allowed the cards and calls to [...]

Are you a Stress-Eater?
Here’s a Solution.

Are You a Stress-Eater?

Are you a stress-eater? I am. I can honestly and openly admit that I eat when I am stressed. I like dark chocolate. Super dark. Sometimes 99% dark.

I am a creature of habit.  But who isn’t, right?  We find the things that we like, we settle into routines, we opt for the KNOWN path of least resistance.  We find our little ways of creating comfort (and order). Like everyone else, I have my little “things” that I do and like.  I think of the wooden spoon I [...]

Cranberry Apricot Granola Bar

This past Monday, I had one of those I-love-what-I-do moments.  The kind that makes me actually stop what it is that I’m doing and check-in.  No doubt, these last couple years have been more hard work than anything else as Steph and I have gotten this little biz of ours off the ground.  But it always seems like I have [...]
