I’m more of a spring or fall girl, but there’s just something so sweet about summer. And when I say sweet, I’m referring to the plethora of fruit varieties, of course. I’ve been sharing a seasonal produce guide with the start of each new season for the past year, and summer is the finale to my series….

June Favorites
June has been filled with quite the variety of experiences for us—some planned, some spontaneous. It’s been a particularly memorable month, as we’ve checked multiple items off our bucket list. Our mindset has basically been…it’s easy to say you’ll do it later, but why not just take the plunge and commit? Aside from the bucket…
The One Where We Went to Goat Yoga
If you’ve never heard of or attended goat yoga before, you’re in for a visual treat. Matt booked two spots at Blissful Goat Yoga in San Marcos as an early birthday present for me yesterday. I mentioned a few months ago how I would love to go to a class like this, so when he…
Never Stop Exploring Your Backyard
Living vicariously through others and their thrilling adventures is only fun for so long—or you know, not at all sometimes.

One-pan chicken fajitas use a colorful combo of bell peppers and onion as well as a homemade spice blend for a delicious and fresh meal. When it comes to Mexican/Southwest-inspired food, we tend to only eat three types in our house: tacos, burrito bowls, and the occasional quesadillas. I’m pretty sure I could eat Mexican…
Kale Chips
Baked kale chips are a healthier alternative to potato chips that only need a bit of olive oil to get that satisfying crispy texture. If you want to be healthy AF, kale is a great place to start. It’s got an impressive nutrient profile, with lots of good-for-you vitamins (K, A, and C) and minerals…
Coconut Crusted Chicken Tenders
Make chicken tenders with a shredded coconut breading for a sweet, gold brown dinner that’s baked and not fried. Chicken tenders and nuggets are one of the finer foods in life. They’re incredibly simple but somehow always hit the spot (especially with the right dipping sauce). I like to mess around with different types of…
On-the-Go Snacks to Throw in Your Bag
Snacking has never been my strong suit. That’s actually why I post so much about healthy snacks…because anytime I discover a useful strategy, I feel the need to share it. Despite feeling particularly inspired with snack food lately—especially since I’ve started creating DIY snack boxes and viewing snacks as small meals—I’ve been finding myself getting hangry while…
Vietnamese Cold Brew Coffee
For a sweet and refreshing treat, make this Vietnamese-style coffee using cold brew and sweetened condensed milk. Whether you want to start your day on a sweet note or are craving a caffeinated dessert, you need Vietnamese iced coffee in your life. The first time I tried this drink, I was on an incredible journey…
