Just last week, Springer and I threw on a favorite Pandora music playlist (“Classic Indie Radio” to be exact), cracked open the refrigerator, and cooked a mini feast from our latest eBook, Eat Real Essentials. The real climax of the story is, we taped the whole thing…ON VIDEO! Fun times. To be quite honest, we haven’t had a full-on Springer [...]
Roasted Carrot & Wild Rice Salad
Serendipity is a funny thing. You know what I mean? Those happy, “unplannable” coincidences that feel so natural as they unfold. As I was sitting on my front stoop earlier today enjoying a quick sunshine break, I realized that we are actually living one right now at Eat Life Whole. We are, quite unintentionally, finding ourselves and our little biz [...]
It’s Here! Eat Real Essentials
When Steph & I opened the doors to Eat Life Whole a couple years ago, we weren’t quite sure where this journey was going to take us. All we knew for certain was that we shared a common commitment to providing busy folks like ourselves with the info and inspiration that they needed to take charge of their own health [...]
Flaxseed: A Little Bowl
of Omega-3s
A few weeks ago, I attended a conference hosted by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition – the school where both Steph and I received our certification as holistic health & nutrition coaches. For two days, I got to hear from a thought-leaders, life coaches, inspirational speakers, cookbook authors, medical doctors – all of them passionate about what they do [...]

Veggie Burritos with Whole Wheat Crepes
When it comes to dinner, we are happiest making something unique and healthy, but also quick and easy. One-dish meals are always a great solution. But they aren’t always the healthiest. The first thing to come to mind are pasta bakes and other quick dishes that sometimes come up short on proteins, veggies and whole grains. Crepe burritos are a [...]
Meet Jennifer: Food Blogger, Chef & Nutrition Entrepreneur
Since opening the doors to Eat life Whole, Steph and I have had the opportunity to get to know so many wonderfully interesting folks – those special people that inspire us each day with their energy and ideas. We are drawn to their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit or simply their appreciation for good, nourishing food. And through them, we have learned [...]
New eBook. New Format. New Launch Date!
It’s time for an update! Hi everyone. Springer and I have been hard at work, putting together an amazing NEW eBook for all of you healthy, on-the-go eaters out there. What started out as a minor refresh of our seasonal hit, (the EAT REAL Challenge: Spring/Summer Edition), has turned into something much BIGGER…and shall we say quite “bad a$$”! In [...]
10 Immunity-Boosting Foods
Over the last few weeks, I have been reading a WHOLE lot about immunity-boosting foods. I developed a pretty nasty cough shortly after the holidays and was having a horrible time trying to shake it. I think back, I am honestly surprised it wasn’t worse. I had entered the perfect storm – a flu shot that had clearly compromised my [...]
