I’ve stared buying a rotisserie chicken once a week. Could I make one? Yes. I could. But I have two kids, a business to run, a house to clean, food to prep and I just want a damn pre-made chicken, okay?! Also, I’ve been blogging for ten years. TEN YEARS. I blogged when no one knew what it was and people thought I was fucking nuts. Now, I have to write at least 300 words for my post to have good SEO, and good SEO means Google will share my recipes and posts when people search for them. Are you annoyed by all this text when you just want the damn keto rotisserie chicken salad recipe? SO AM I. So if you haven’t seen it yet, I have a “jump to recipe” button above. Feel free to use it to be taken directly to the recipe. Because I know you…

This gluten-free Greek quinoa is delicious, easy to make, healthy and perfect for meal prep! I have been very, very into quinoa lately. Which is interesting, because it’s not really something I ever eat. I always have some in my pantry, but I make it maybe once or twice a year. But these last few weeks I’ve just been really wanting some damn quinoa. And you know the thing about cravings? It’s often your body’s way of telling you what it needs. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re really craving a chocolate cake or you crave sweets all day long, that’s a good indication you have some sort of gut dysfunction or gut dysbiosis (high levels of bad bacteria, low levels of good bacteria). But if you’re craving salt, fish, greens, nuts, even dark chocolate – it’s a good indication that your body needs something in that particular food. So…

I know that I’m saving money by not eating out. And it f*cking rules. It makes my life SO much easier. This week I made a bunch of veggies and proteins and then I’ve ended up throwing them in a bowl each…

What can I say? This gluten-free veggie shakshuka was everything I’d hoped it would be: freaking delicious, beautiful, full of delicious veggies and healthy protein and topped with fresh herbs and cheese. Name a better breakfast. You CAN’T. Seriously you guys, this was so good. I love waking up and making a healthy, delicious and filling breakfast. I feel like this is a breakfast I would make if I were living in the Italian or French countryside, growing my own veggies and raising chickens.

But like, doesn’t it just seems like that kind of breakfast??

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I recently found a lump in my breast. If you’re new, you may be wondering what the hell I’m talking about. So let’s back up real quick. After nursing my kids, my boobs were wrecked. Like, seriously sad grandma boobs. I knew I couldn’t live with them forever because but I also didn’t want breast implant due to the serious complications that accompany them. You can read why I got the breast fat transfer, the process and who I chose here. You can see how it looked a month after surgery here. And five months after surgery here. Now, it’s been nearly a year. 11 months. Whatever I’m a few weeks short but close enough. Finding a lump. A few weeks ago we found a lump in my right breast. I say we because to be perfectly honest, my…
