ohhh hello ALOE! 🍃
Can we talk about how amazing ALOE VERA is for a moment? Growing up, my grandma had long green prickly stalks growing near her lamps (that are now my lamps), sometimes in just water filled mason jars. She never bothered with them but they seemed to always grow. I do remember when she’d cut a…

My mom and grandma made something called okra pie (sounds even grosser) essentially, it was layered okra, white rice, can tomatoes and crisp bacon baked like a pie. I actually never really minded the okra slime, as…

Simple Snacking: Cantaloupe
1 cup of cantaloupe has about 60 energy calories and only 3 from fat. Not only is it like eating a big bowl of nothing in the fat department it’s soft, sweet and satisfying. Though honeydew is my absolute favorite melon, all members of the melon family are full of water and a great…

easy avocado 🥑
Sporting events are an easy reason to fall off your path of clean healthiness. This year instead of the stacked nachos – try this easy avocado with pita chips or rye wraps. Avocado is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (the “good” kind of fat) and full of fiber – a great choice nutrient dense…
