Six weeks ago, I followed a Paleo diet; four weeks ago, I ate according to the Mediterranean diet; and last week, I finished a vegan-inspired diet. All of this was for a diet experiment, in which I followed three popular diets that have always intrigued me—not to fully understand each diet, but to get a…
How to Tell If Fruit Is Ripe
Since yesterday was technically the first day of my vegan diet experiment, I dedicated quite a few hours to prepping food for the week. When I went to the store to get the supplies, I made fruit one of my main priorities. Buying more than I usually do, it was especially obvious that I had…
Water Challenge + A Few of My Favorite Things
So I’ve decided I need to drink more water. I’m not always great with working out consistently, and I’m not the best at eating healthy all the time. But adding more water to my day seems like an easy way to be nice to my body. They say you should drink about eight glasses of…
What I Learned on the Mediterranean Diet
Over the past week, I’ve been, more or less, following a Mediterranean-themed diet as part of a diet experiment I’m doing for cooking inspiration. I finished seven days of Paleo a couple weeks ago, and I just completed the portion of my food adventure that involved eating mostly Mediterranean-esque foods for a week. If you…
Mediterranean Chicken & Veggie Kabobs
As promised on Wednesday in my favorite Mediterranean-inspired dishes, I’m sharing the killer kabob marinade recipe I made earlier this week. Now that we have a grill, I can make way more fun things, such as food on a stick (though I guess you can make it in an oven; it’s just less awesome). I’m…
What I Learned from the Paleo Diet
Now that the first week of my diet experiment is over, I’m excited to talk about my experience on the Paleo diet! Although one week on a specific diet isn’t exactly enough to show you its potential, I got what I wanted out of it – I tried new recipes that were very different for…
My Favorite Paleo-Inspired Dishes
As I’m entering the fourth day of my Paleo diet experiment, I feel like I’ve gotten the hang of which ingredients to avoid and which to emphasize (candy is Paleo, right?). Even though I plan to share an entire post on my experience next week, here are a few thoughts so far: I must be…
Two-Ingredient Pancakes
Today is the second day of my diet experiment, and while I’ve only been Paleo for 24 hours, I’m over it. Haha. Apparently I don’t know how to eat without bread, tortillas, chips, crackers, etc. Cutting out dairy, like milk and yogurt, was easier than I thought, but giving up grain has made me sad,…
Why I’m Going Paleo, Mediterranean, and Vegan
I’ve never been one to follow a strict diet – my goal is to just eat as healthy as possible while still enjoying the finer things (I’m lookin’ at you, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies). But just because I don’t follow a specific diet plan of sorts doesn’t mean I’m not intrigued by diet trends. I…
My Favorite Things + Linwoods Flaxseed Review
Happy Wednesdsay! Hope you’re all recovering from a calm/crazy/whatever St. Patrick’s Day! Before I get into my weekly favorites, I have something exciting to share: the winner of my Fitbit Zip giveaway! So without further ado, [drum roll please]… Congrats to Leanne (who I’ve already been in contact with, fyi), and thank you to all…
PROBAR Review + Giveaway
Disclaimer: I was sent PROBAR BITE and BASE bars for free to review. All opinions are my own. Protein bars are one of my all-time favorite snacks, which is why I am always looking for new brands to try out. Sometimes I’m convinced my stomach is a bottomless pit because I always feel hungry, but…
5 Healthier Substitutes for Butter when Baking
So I’m quite fond of baking and then devouring testing the results. However, making baked goods like cookies, cupcakes, muffins, and breads all the time isn’t exactly ideal for achieving a toned physique. To avoid the onset of lots of pounds, I like to swap some of the bad in recipes for better alternatives. Butter…
30 Kitchen Hacks to Make Your Life Easier
Everyone has their own tips and tricks when it comes to preparing or storing food. I’ve seen several posts on this and am always amazed at how innovative people can be. It makes you wonder how people came up with all these ideas in the first place. I figured I’d share a bunch of kitchen…
This One Time I Put Butter in My Coffee
Has anyone ever heard of Bulletproof Coffee? Well it’s apparently a thing these days. Technically, the concoction should consist of the following: 1-2 Tbs of unsalted grass-fed butter 1-2 Tbs of Brain Oxtane or XCT oil 1-2 Cups of brewed low-toxin coffee This mixture is supposed to be a healthy, energizing breakfast replacement. The grass-fed…
Two-Week Healthy Eating Challenge
In my 2014 highlights post, I mentioned that two of my most popular posts from last year were my detox meal plans. So I take that as…people out there must find healthy eating meal ideas helpful. One of my 2015 resolutions was to continue my never-ending goal to eat clean. After considering both of these…
