Healthy Brunch Recipes for Easter

Healthy Easter Brunch Recipes

Who needs a few brunch recipes for this easter weekend? Special savory egg dishes, sweet waffles, or how about a french-inspired side salad for your friends and family? Easter is here and boy does it remind me to embrace more TRADITION in my life. Going back to my “little girl days” back in Seattle, I remember wearing a new dress for [...]

Veggie Burritos with Whole Wheat Crepes

Burritos

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 [...]

Eat Life Whole | Update from Springer & Steph

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

ImmunityHeader

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 [...]

Kitchen Essentials: 10 Things to Do With Your Zester

ZesterHeader2

For the last month, I have been battling a persistent cough. Nothing so terrible that it actually motivates me to get myself to the doctor. But just bad enough to leave me feeling off my game. My hope was that I would be able to get to the other side with a bit of good rest and lots and lots [...]

Homemade Heartier Bagels

BagelHeader3

I don’t know why, but bagels seem to be a comfort food that one never grows out of. Whether it’s a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast or a bagel sandwich for lunch, there is always something comforting about biting into the soft, donut shaped bread. The downside of this childhood favorite? Bagels are usually made with refined white flour [...]

Raw Kale Salad with Brussels Sprouts & Celery

Around the age of 7, I started telling people that I was going to be a lawyer when I grew up.  I don’t really know why.  I don’t think that I knew any lawyers at the time. Maybe because the answer was so simple, tight – requiring no further explanation.  And it always got a positive response from the grown-up [...]

Green Goddess Dressing

I tend to be a bit of a rule breaker.  Always have been.  And that started carrying over into how I cook long ago.  I think of recipes as more of a friendly suggestion.  They offer a helpful starting point and then I take it from there.  The only real exceptions are baked goods and salad dressings. When I mention [...]

Healthy Breakfast, Happy Day

OatmealHeader

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” I cannot tell you how many times I have heard that statement, but just how true it really is. With breakfast being essential for our bodies and brains to function well, what we choose to eat every morning is most important for the outcome of our days. One way I make [...]

Dark Chocolate Maca Fruit Bites

Eat Life Whole | Dark Chocolate Maca Fruit Bites

Ah, it’s love week – the week where red roses and heart-shaped chocolates come out to greet you at the grocery store. Well, if you are living anything close to the lives of Springer and myself (enthusiastically busy with exciting projects, deadlines, and family events), then you might be thinking that some genuine TLC (tender lovin’ care) may be the [...]
