Happy JULY! I love this month because I love summer and swimming and sunshine. Since we've living in Utah, we've made it a tradition to go to the Hot Air Balloon Festival here in Provo every 4th of July. It's one of my favorite things! Something about hot air balloons is just magical. I can't [...]
I personally have quite the sweet tooth. I love treating myself to a yummy something, but I don't love the after effects that, say, a cupcake or ice cream leaves me with. While I do still indulge in those kinds of treats once in a while, I have had to find other, better options for [...]

I am not Mexican nor have I ever been to Mexico (Ensenada doesn't count), so who knows how authentic this meal (or any of my [...]
As I mentioned in my previous post, my doctor put me on an Elimination Diet. The purpose is to heal my gut, because everything starts in the gut. Healthy gut = healthy everything else. So it's a great place to start for jumpstarting my fertility. I didn't magically get pregnant right away, but I do feel [...]
I'm currently on an elimination diet in an attempt to heal my gut, and ON this elimination diet I'm not supposed to eat beef or pork (and I basically always make something with chicken, beef, or pork....so there goes 2/3 of my recipes...haha). While I was grocery shopping last week I was browsing (because I [...]
