Balance Is Beauty

Hi Friends,

This is going to be a quick post, but I have a new product I just have to share with you! (More on that in a second). As I’m sure many of you have been following, tonight is very exciting yet VERY stressful night for us Canadians. Our Canadian Olympic hockey team are playing the Russians in the quarter finals, and it is do or die!!  I have so much confidence in our team, but still have butterflies in my stomach, it would mean so much to Canadians to have our Men winning the Gold medal on home ice! I know the Americans are playing as well today, so how about us Bloggies make a pact to cheer for one another in the quarter finals and then we can part ways and be each man/woman for themselves It would be amazing to have it come down to a Canada vs. USA final – so exciting and we need redemption hehehe

As I mentioned, I tried a new product that I just have to share with you all. I’ve seen Kristen from Kristen’s Raw enjoying this on quite a frequent basis, and when she loves something, it’s pretty much a guarantee that I will too! – Girls got GOOD taste!

So, to be honest with you, I’m not a coffee drinker, at all. I like the taste of it and I used to drink it occasionally, but it’s just not one of those things I have to have. I do however, love a warm cup of tea, or a warm cup of almond milk. When I saw on Kristen’s blog that she was drinking a coffee alternative, it definitely peaked my interest.   Today I found it at the health food store and I had to share it with you:

Looks like coffee, right? It’s actually a herbal coffee alternative. The ingredients are amazing and consist of: organic roasted carob, organic barley, organic chicory, dates, almonds, vanilla extract, coconut flavour, figs. The main problem with coffee,  is that it is very acidic. We want our bodies as alkaline as possible and coffee creates an acidic environment in the body. Teccino is naturally caffeine free and is non-acidic. It was SO delicious, if you are struggling trying to break a coffee addiction, I highly recommend that you try this product – there are a couple of different flavours so you can pick the one that best suits your palate

Alright friends, it’s time for me to staring practicing my game cheer! I hope you all will join me in chanting GO CANADA GO tonight!!

Hi Friends!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I actually had a pretty eventful weekend! Ange, Alex, and I have been trying to arrange a get together for quite some time, but because we are all so busy, it’s been hard! We finally figured out a date that was good for all of us, and that just happened to be on Saturday!

It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that we decided on meeting up at Fresh. This is a very popular vegan restaurant in Toronto. For those new to the city, or anyone visiting, this is a must try restaurant!

Alex, Me, Ange

Ange’s girlfriend, Laura, also joined us which was lovely! I love meeting new girls, especially ones as lovely and sweet as Laura. There will definitely be many more meet ups with the four of us in the near future

Lunch was amazing – no surprise there! I order the soup of the day, which was a curried cauliflower. On the side you get 2 huge chunks of my FAVOURITE cornbread ever. Honestly, I debated ordering a whole loaf just so I could bring some home with me

Ange and Laura both got one of Fresh’s famous bowls, which are amazing as well. Lots of fresh ingredients served over brown rice.

And Alex got the middle eastern plate, she had everyone (even the people sitting beside her!), drooling over her selection.  This girl is a trooper, she joined us after running 25Km, that morning, YES 25km – and girl looked F.I.N.E!! I only wish I could throw myself together so chic after running 25Km.

We had an amazing time together, it’s amazing to have such wonderful friends who are so passionate about the same things you are. I’m so grateful to have them in my life – and they are definitely friends for life! SORRY girls – you’re STUCK with me now

After lunch, I had to rush home as hubby and I were having a party that night. Not sure I have mentioned this before, but Frank is a HUGE UFC fan. At first, I really didn’t understand the appeal of watching grown men basically beat each other to a pulp. This is definitely not a PG rated event, but overtime the competitive side of me has come out and I do have a few favourites (never thought I’d say that!!!). However, I rarely see much of the event as usually the ladies are huddled together gabbing away It was a great night, however, I can’t say the same about the next morning. First off, I don’t know why I haven’t learned my lesson yet, but that last glass of wine SHOULD NOT have been consumed   Secondly, this is what I awoke too:

UGHH! Hangover + Filthy Kitchen = total disaster! I must say, Hubs and I are an amazing team and we got this kitchen sparkling in under an hour!

  Just so you guys don’t think we are total alcoholics, there were probably about 40 people here, which is why you see SO many beer bottles

So that was my weekend in a nutshell Needless to say, this week is ALL ABOUT detoxing the body – so far this morning I have had a huge green smoothie and I plan to keep it very raw and very GREEN the rest of the week. Although the weekend was a blast, I have definitely found that lately I have been indulging far too much on the weekends. Although I totally believe in indulging, especially when for the most part I lead such a healthy lifestyle, I have just found that lately my weekends have left me feeling very lethargic, heavy, and just all around not so great! With summer just around the corner, I gotta tighten things up just a little

Anyone else do anything exciting this weekend? I’d love to hear about it!

xoxo

Love you guys!

Krissy

P.S. TWIN are you out there?? Show me some love!!!!

Hi Loves!

Wow it’s been a while! I have been SO caught up in the Olympics, it’s crazy!! Having the Olympics in a Canadian City has been so magical – I can only imagine what it is like for all of you actually living in B.C. I am SO proud to be Canadian, so proud of all the athletes and so proud to see all of the hard work and dedication that the wonderful people of Vancouver have put in to put together such an amazing 2010 Winter Games!

I love the spirit of the Olympic games. I love that no matter your race, ethnicity, or religious beliefs, that this is a time that we all join together as a nation and cheer on our dedicated athletes. You can’t help but notice that there is a special feeling in the air, everywhere you go, you feel a little bit more connected to those around you.

Personally, I have been glued to the T.V. watching both Figure Skating and Hockey. I’m not sure if I have mentioned this, but I was a figure skater for about 12 years of my life. It basically was my life growing up, so needless to say I have been glued to the T.V. Unfortunately, we haven’t had any medal hopefuls yet, but there is still the Women and Ice Dancers to come, so I have my fingers crossed Being Canadian – it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I won’t be missing one second of the Canadian Men’s Hockey – Hockey is basically a religion in Canada, I can’t even imagine how crazy our country will go if our Men’s Hockey wins Gold on home ice. I get teary just thinking about it!!

Because sports (figure skating) was such a huge part of my life, I get so emotional watching the athletes compete. You train so hard, for so many years, it is just so inspiring to see them living out their dreams. As I have watched the athletes over the past week, it has got me thinking a lot about dreams.  We all have dreams, whether it be related to sports, career, travel, relationships, etc. Some we have had since childhood, others we may have just recently discovered. Life can go by so quickly that sometimes those dreams that you had as a young child, a teenager or a young adult get buried in the back of your mind. These athletes dreams are coming true because they have worked so hard to make them happen. As I was watching the games, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealously, or maybe I should call it desire, to be making my own dreams a reality. When I reflected on this, however, I realized that maybe I haven’t been putting enough effort into truly trying to make my dreams my reality. Life is not just going to happen the way you want it to, unless you go out and fight for it. If I spent my life waiting around for my dreams to come true, I think I’d be waiting an awfully long time.  I think sometimes, when we think of dreams coming true, we think of luck, like winning the lottery. When in reality, luck doesn’t have to have anything to do with having your dreams come true.  Working hard, believing in yourself and fighting for what you want is what make dreams come true. We all have it in us to make our dreams our reality, but we have to believe in ourselves and believe that we are capable of achieving anything we want to in life.

Maybe this is just a pep-talk for myself to instead of sitting around watching others have their dreams come true, start putting together an action plan to accomplish all the dreams I have for myself and my family. But I think it’s important for all of us to really reflect on what we are doing to make our dreams come true.  I wish there was a magically fairy that came around granting wishes, but unfortunately, there’s not. The responsibility lies within ourselves, our minds and most importantly our hearts to go after and fight for what we want.

Have the Olympic Games stirred up any similar emotions in any of you? I’d love to hear some of your dreams and how you plan on making them your reality!

P.S. Don’t think I’ve forgotten about the remaining days of my Food Combining Challenge, I’ll recap my thoughts and whether or not I plan on continuing with these principles!

Krissy

Hi Friends!

I’ve had some great questions come my way and am so happy to see so much interest in exploring food combining principles. However, I just want to be sure to make one thing clear, food combining DOES NOT need to be an all or nothing thing. Adopting some principles, such as just eating fruit on an empty stomach, is a great way to start and a great way to assist your digestion.There is no need to panic if you eat a starch+protein or a starch+a nut together one meal, especially in the beginning, just be aware of how you feel after. All of our digestion is different, some are better able to handle it better than others! Through the research I have done, I have learned that if you are going to miscombine, it’s best to do it later on in the day/evening as this leaves more time for you body to work on digesting it.  I can basically guarantee you that I will not be sticking to these principles 100% of the time, the thought of never having almond butter smeared on toast is enough to bring me to tears   I know I feel better when I follow food combining principles, but sometimes satisfying your cravings is worth having some mild digestive symptoms I just want to make sure you guys don’t think I am promoting a super strict, restrictive way of eating. I in NO way, ever want to encourage that. I just want to share tips that have helped me and encourage you to take what you like and leave what you don’t

Today has been a pretty good day, I found myself to be hungrier more often today, however, my hunger may have been mistaken for boredom

Again, I started my morning with hot water + lemon + cayenne and shortly after (about an hour) I had this stunning green juice.

Romaine lettuce + kale + 2 celery stalks + green apple + 1/2 lemon. 

Soooo delicious – I love the tartness of the green apple. Although this tasted wonderful, it didn’t do much to silence the grumbles in my tummy, so about an hour and a half later, I blended up a nutrient/calorie packed smoothie.

1 banana, 1/2 avocado, 1tbsp EFA oil, 1/2 c water, 1/2 c almond milk, 2-3 c spinach, splash of agave.

Just as a reminder, because you may be confused as to why this is a properly combine smoothie – banana, although a fruit, does combine safely with an avocado (it is one of the “exception” rules).

This held me over for just over 3 hrs, so I knew I was safe to switch categories. I was craving protein, big time, so I decided to whip up yet another smoothie/shake.

1 scoop sun warrior protein powder, 1/2c water, 1/2 c almond milk, 1 tbsp coconut butter, 1/2 tbsp raw carob powder.

And because I had, had liquids all day, was really needing something to chew on (twss) LOL. So had a piece of raw bread on the side.

This smoothie combination was SO tasty, it tasted just like chocolate milk, SO satisfying. I’m not sure that the raw bread really combined with the smoothie, but I didn’t notice any effects from it, so it was fine for me   

I munched on a plate of raw veggies before dinner, and dinner then decided on a huge bowl of steamed veggies over organic mixed greens for dinner.

Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, red onion, and zucchini with 1/2 tbsp flax oil, braggs, 1tsp agave, and hot sauce as a delicious dressing. On the side I had two slice of Ezikiel toast with raw honey + coconut butter. This meal is the reason why I will never be fully raw. I just loveee steamed veggies and I loveeee toast. I was totally craving dessert but wasn’t sure what would combine well with this meal. Banana’s combine well with a starch and avocado’s and bananas are a good match, so basically I just threw these in the blender and whipped up a DELICOUS pudding for dessert.

1/2 banana, 1/4 avocado, splash of almond milk, stevia, 1/2 tbsp raw carob powder

Again, I’m not certain this was a perfectly combined meal – if anyone out there is an expert, please feel free to let me know. All I know is this pudding was out of this world – it may not look pretty, but it tasted heavenly!! 

Not sure if I’ll have another snack tonight, American Idol is on and I’ll be tuning in, chances are snacking will happen, but I’ll let you know tomorrow

Happy Hump Day! We are more than halfway there!!!

Krissy

Hi Loves!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far! We are almost at hump day – which means only a few more days until Valentines Day! Frank and I were invited to a Valentines Party on Saturday night, which we are looking forward to. Hubby likes to remind me that it is Valentines Day everyday in our house He does have a point – but I still love the idea of Valentines Day – what can I say, I’m a girl

As some of you may know, I have set some goals for myself this week – and honestly, two days in, I cannot believe the results I am already feeling. I have always had somewhat of a sensitive stomach but for the past month or so I have really been battling with bad stomach pains, bloating, and gas (TMI – sorry!). My diet was still really healthy and I was struggling to figure out why my stomach was basically in constant discomfort. I had not been sticking to the food combining principles and I decided that I would take this week to see if I stuck to the principles if I would be provided some stomach relief.

Here’s what Day 1 (Monday) looked like:

I started off the morning with 2 cups of hot water with lemon juice (half a lemon squeezed in) and a dash of cayenne pepper (feel free to add some honey to this if you want a bit of sweetness). This is perfect to consume first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It is great for detoxifying your system, especially your liver.

Around 1000 – 1100 I had about 12 ounces of green juice  I never want to fall off the juicing wagon AGAIN! There is nothing that makes your body feel better than drowning it in fresh, live enzymes – you can honestly feel your cells screaming with excitement when you drink this down

A couple of hours later I whipped up a green smoothie

Sorry for the horrific picture – but this contained 1 large banana, 1/2 avocado, 1/2c water, 1/2c almond milk, 1 tsp spirulina, 2-3 c spinach + ice.

And soon after this I had a yummy larabar

So to touch on the food combining principles, the smoothie was a well combined because banana’s and avocados can be safely combined. They are two of the “exceptions” when it comes to food combining. I waited about an hour to have the larabar and although nuts and avocados do not combine well – I didn’t have a problem with it.

Dinner consisted of a HUGE salad with two pieces of raw bread (topped with coconut butter + raw honey)

I had 3 1/2 hrs of school that evening so I had dessert about three hours later which were 3 dates and a handful of almonds – totally hit the spot!

When I got home from school around 1030 I had a gluten free brown rice wrap topped with honey and coconut butter (do you see a theme with the coco butter and honey – I honestly can’t get enough of this)

Guys – seriously, I am SO addicted to these darn things! I almost didn’t buy them again this week because when they are in my freezer it’s like they are calling my name.

After day 1 I was honestly in shock.  It was like I had a new stomach – zero bloating, zero gas, zero cramping. I was excited to see what Day 2 would bring . . .

Today was very similar to yesterday but I’ll show you exactly what I ate. I started my morning off again with hot water and lemon juice with cayenne. I had an appt at 1000 this morning so before I left I quickly whipped up a juice to go.

 3 celery stalks, 2 carrots, 1 red apple, 1 lemon, 3 kale leaves. Sooo tasty, and I honestly cannot say enough about my Breville Juicer. I was running SO late and I literally juiced and cleaned up my juicer in about 6 minutes, it really is an efficient, easy to clean juicer.

When I returned home from my appt (around 100pm) my stomach was talking to me so I decided to whip up a new smoothie concoction.

1/2 banana, 1/2c frozen cherries, 1 scoop sunwarrior protein powder, 1/2c water, 1/2c almond milk, 1tsp coconut butter, 1 tsp spirulina, 2-3c spinach. This was not the most well combined meal because of the protein powder, but I really wanted to see how my stomach would react because I was thinking that it was possibly the protein powder that was not sitting well in my stomach. I surprised to find that I had no problems with this. I don’t foresee ever being able to give up my protein smoothies so I was really glad to find out that my system can handle this combination.

A couple of hours later I threw together a veggie platter with some carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and cherry tomatoes to tie me over until dinner.

Dinner was another huge salad with two pieces of raw bread (topped with coconut butter and raw honey – SURPRISE!)

The salad had just a little less than half an avocado, lots of veggies and a combination of flax oil, agave, and apple cider vinegar for the dressing.

As I type up this post I am snacking on another Gluten Free Brown Rice wrap (it’s like crack to me!) and half a cup of gluten free cereal. I am SO happy to report my stomach feels great again today – I honestly feel like a different person.

One point I want to be sure to make clear is that as long as you leave about 3-4 hours between eating you can switch food categories. For example if I had a large salad (neutral) with a larabar (dried fruit+nut) for lunch and then 3-4 hrs later was hungry I could potentially have something from the starch, or flesh category and still be following food combining principles. If after lunch, I became hungry an hour or two later I could safely eat from the dried fruit + nut category (as this was the category I ate from at lunch) or of course raw vegetables which are neutral and can be eaten with anything. I hope this makes sense – please feel free to email me if you are interested but confused

I think the main thing is to be organized and not put yourself in a situation where you are really hungry and don’t have appropriate options available. I am lucky in that I work a lot from home which makes planning meals very easy. If you don’t have that kind of flexibility I would definitely recommend planning your meals ahead and packing a lunch for work/school if you aren’t able to come home to make it. That way you are always prepared and don’t have to worry that you won’t find appropriate options.

Hope you guys found this helpful! I am going to continue to post my meals this week, as it is really helping me to document how my stomach is reacting to different foods. I hope I continue to feel as great as I have this first two days! I’ll keep y’all posted

If any of you have any further information on food combining (I am by NO means an expert), I would love to hear any advice you may have to offer!

Hi Friends!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, I’m so sad it’s Sunday already – why must the weekends always fly by! My weekend has been pretty relaxed, although I must confess I over indulged in some wine last night, which left me feeling pretty sluggish today. Hubs and I spent most of the morning relaxing by the TV and then we did some grocery shopping to prepare us for the week ahead!

Speaking of over-indulging, I have realized that over the last month or so, my diet has really been less than stellar. I mean in the grand scheme of things, I am not eating “junk” food or poor quality food, I am just not eating as well as I know I can.  I have been having quite a few unpleasant symptoms lately, my tummy has really been suffering, and I believe it has a lot to do with the food and combinations of food I am eating. I know my body does best when I say true to food combining rules. For those of you unfamiliar with food combining, there are four different categories of foods that should not be combined together. The four groups are, starches (breads, potatoes, avocados and young coconuts), flesh (which includes fish and dairy), nuts and dried fruits, and fruit. The reasoning behind not combining these food groups together, is that they take different times to digest in the body. Fruit, for example, is the quickest to digest, depending on the fruit it takes between 20-30 minutes to leave the stomach. Therefore, fruit is best eaten alone on an empty stomach. Vegetables are considered neutral and can be combined with any of the food groups.

There are also a few exceptions to rules (aren’t there always!). Banana’s, because they are a starchier fruit, can be combined safely with starches, nuts and dried fruit as well as avocados.  Avocado’s are also unique in that, technically they are a fruit but combine as a starch. They can also be combined with dried fruit but not with nuts.  Sound complicated? Although it can be overwhelming in the beginning, once you start incorporating the “rules” into your eating habits, it is really simple and so effective. For people, like myself, who have really sensitive stomachs, I really recommend trying this to see if it helps. This style of eating habits, definitely isn’t for everyone. If you are someone who likes a lot of variety on their plate (like my hubby!), this may be too restrictive for you. I really enjoy eating simply, so this works really well for me. These are just the basics, so if you have further questions, please feel free to email me and I’d be happy to try and answer any questions you may have!

Basically, what I have decided to do this week, is use my blog as kind of a food dairy for me, to help keep me accountable for the goals I have set for myself. I am by no means “dieting” or trying to lose weight, my goals are too address the tummy issues I have been having and hopefully get rid of the constant stomach aches and pains I have been suffering from.

My Goals:

1) Consume 16-32 ounces of green juice every morning.

2) Consume fruit and/or green smoothie following juice.

3) Eat raw until dinner (salads, nuts/seeds, dried fruit, smoothies, avocados, etc.).

4) Follow light – heavy style of eating (eating your heaviest meal at dinner).

5) Stay true to Food Combining Principles!! (most important).

6) Minimize snacking (especially late night – which has been out of control lately).

7) Decrease aerobic exercise and focus on daily outdoor walks and yoga.

Each day I will blog about my experiences, and am hoping to have your support in cheering me on (especially with avoiding the late night snacking!! ). At the end of the week I hope to find that my tummy troubles have diminished or at least been really minimized. I will summarize all of my findings at the end of the week, and decide whether or not to continue on this path.

I am looking forward to a week of nourishing, fresh foods and am hoping to have some great results!

Have any of you tried food combining? Was it something that you found effective, or too restrictive? I’d love to hear your experiences!

See you tomorrow, with my first-day recap!!!

Hi Loves!

A whole week, since my last post, has gone by! I can’t believe how quickly time is flying. Although I am anxious for the cold weather to disappear and the warmer weather to be upon us, I wouldn’t mind time slowing just a little (I guess it’s true what they say – as you get older, time seems to go quicker!!).

I’ve been pretty busy in the kitchen this week, with a little cookin and lots of uncookin! I whipped up another batch of my new addiction, Kristen’s Raw Savoury Hemp and Onion Bread. As well as a batch of my own Raw Bread. Once dehydrated, these last quite a while in the fridge, so it’s great to have them on hand.

I also tried out a new recipe from Sarma Melngailis’s, Living Raw Food, her Coconut-Lime Cookies.

They almost look like macaroons, but contain macadamia nuts as the base with some coconut and lime. I loved them! If you are a fan of lime, you’ll like these! I highly recommend Sarma’s “un”cook book. At first glance some of the recipes can be intimidating but when you actually go over the ingredients they aren’t as intimidating as they look. I have tons more bookmarked to try, but so far everything I have tried, I have loved!

Now, you all know how much I love my Green Smoothies. Well I have come up with a new smoothie that I have really been enjoying, especially on the colder days when I am looking for something a bit warmer!

Apple-Celery Cinnamon Smoothie

1 stalk of celery (leafs and all!)

1 apple

1 tsp raw honey or agave

Cinnamon (I like a lot, but just add enough to satisfy your tastes)

1/2 cup water + 1/2 cup almond milk (or all water or all almond milk depending on your taste)

Blend it all up and enjoy! I topped mine with some dehydrated buckwheat and coconut, for a little crunch, but feel free to add some granola or nuts, or just sip it (or spoon it plain)– it will taste great with or without toppings! As you can see I really enjoying eating my smoothies with a spoon. I find they feel more like a meal this way and they last a little longer this way (I have been known to chug a smoothie in record time – sometimes they just taste so darn good, I can’t help myself!).

Another recipe I have been wanting to try forever is Ange’s In a Jiffy Spelt Burgers. I must admit on those nights when I just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen, frozen veggie burgers are almost always my go to meal. The ingredient list on my favourite frozen veggie burger is not too shabby, but I always prefer to have control over the ingredients I am eating, so homemade is definitely my first choice. Ange wasn’t kidding when she raved about her homemade veggie burgers. I can honestly say, I will try not to never buy frozen veggie burgers again. Her recipe was so simple and honestly took no time at all. The results = out of this world!!! I love the addition of the pumpkin and sunflower seeds – it adds the perfect crunch! These pictures do not do the burgers justice – check out Ange’s site for some better photography

The recipe made 8 burgers and I froze some of them so that when I am strapped for time I will have a quick and easy go to meal! I served mine atop a fresh green salad (sorry no pic), but it would also be great between ezikiel bread or in a wrap. I even had one cold as a quick snack and it was delicious! Next time I am going to try making them with gluten-free flour, as I try to be as gluten free as possible – I’ll let you know if they turn out as good! Thanks Ange for such a great recipe – no more store bought frozen burgers for this girl!!

Hubby was super sweet and took me to my favourite restaurant in the city last night, Fresh. For anyone living in or visiting the city of Toronto, this is definitely a must try restaurant, I promise you won’t be disappointed. I decided on a warm bowl of their curried yam-apple soup (again I’m sorry I didn’t bring my camera – I am slapping my hand for you!!). Honestly, if it wasn’t so socially inappropriate to lick the bowl clean, I would have done it with this bowl of soup. It was SO amazing. What’s more amazing, was the fact that a light bulb went off in my head on the way home (some would say this rarely happens – and I can’t say I disagree). Why not try and recreate this recipe RAW! Generally speaking, my confidence when creating a recipe all on my own is not very high, especially when it comes to raw. I normally like to follow a recipe step by step, but this time I decided to step out of my comfort zone and just go for it! I looked online for some inspiration and just kind of winged it, here’s what I came up with:

Raw Sweet Potato-Apple Curry Soup (serves 2-3)

2 cups cubed sweet potato

1/2 apple, cubed

1/8 cup chopped onion or leek

1 clove garlic

2 cups water

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp coriander

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tbsp raw honey/agave

1 tbsp coconut oil/butter (I used butter)

1/2 tsp tumeric (for colour!)

1/2 tbsp tamari/nama shoyu/braggs

sea salt to taste.

Throw all the ingredients in the blender and blend away! If you don’t have a powerful blender, like a vita mix or blend tec, I would suggest lightly steaming the sweet potato so you don’t damage your blender. I can’t believe how similar this tasted to the soup I had yesterday. I love being able to turn cooked comfort food, into raw comfort food. I will definitely be trying to do this more often – hopefully my first success wasn’t just a fluke!

Let me know if you decide to try any of this recipes, I would love to hear what you think!

Happy Friday Everyone! I’ll be back this weekend

xoxo
