Pumpkin Pie Candied Walnuts
I had such an incredibly inspiring, motivational, rewarding and fun weekend! I was surrounded by people that lift others up and want to see others succeed. I attended a nutritional and leadership summit in Minneapolis over the weekend and my brain is bursting with such powerful information. I of course geeked out (hard!) when listening to…

Pan-Seared Cajun Chicken

Vanilla Chia and Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
The other day on the radio there was a trivia question about the most obnoxious photos posted on social media and the top two were couples cuddling and images that showcase or “show off” ones fit body. This actually really peeved me. Why is it obnoxious to see photos of a couple that is obviously…
Strawberry Blueberry Jam
I want to eat this jam by the spoonful, it is that good! This will be in my fridge at all times! Fall is just around the corner and I can’t wait to develop some fall inspired recipes. I have some ideas of what I want to make but if any of you have any…
