Easy Slow Cooker Oats
Ok, so I was this years old when I discovered Slow Cooker Oats! I literally had no idea that was even a thing. But once you know better you start doing better, am I right? With the months cooling down while the schedules are ramping up, you know I am all for things EASY. So when looking for easy breakfast ideas I came across a few variations of overnight oats. One thing led to another and boom! I was down a rabbit-hole of Slow Cooker Oat combinations. Slow Cooker Oats is really no different than regular oatmeal or even overnight oats. The beauty however lies in the fact that you…

Spaghetti but Make it Fashion
If you don’t know anything about me by now, know this. I LOVE an easy throw together meal. And if that meal can be one of those comforting meals, then we are really hitting on all cylinders. Now while a pasta dish is essentially mandatory at least once a week in my household. I have to admit I have made this particular one 2-3 times in one week before. It really is that easy and delicious. So think “spaghetti” but make it fashion. This dish is both nutritious and can be made with simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand. I also love that this sauce can really…

Leaving Low Carb Behind
Well friends, this whole low carb lifestyle is not for me. I actually knew that it wasnt for me within the very first few days of starting. But because I know starting/trying new things can be somewhat difficult I thought that I should actually give myself a full 2 weeks before coming to the conclusion that this wasnt it. Dont get me wrong, there are some benefits I suppose to keeping a low carb diet. Heck I personally know several people that live + THRIVE, like thrive thrive on a low carb diet. Im just not one of those people. And in this season in my life I have no…

It’s Picnic Season Baby!
(This page contains Affiliate Link. For more information see my disclosures, here) Depending on where you are located the amount of getting out in these streets now a days can really vary. One thing is for sure regardless of where you live, 2020 continues to prove that we as individuals have to rethink + restructure what we once knew. This means we have to get more creative in how we can enjoy the warmer, sunnier weather of summer. Let me be the 1st to say WELCOME to Picnic Season, where my two favorite past times have a chance meeting. Eating + being in nature! Picnics, as simple as they sound is…

Nutrition Dense Smoothie
Over the last few weeks we have talked meditation, getting movement in our body and even cleansing our spaces (externally + internally). As a person that wears many hats, mom, wife, business owner, I know all too well how easy nutrition can get lost in the mix of things especially as survival mode kicks in. At the start of the year I made a conscious decision that no matter what was going on that I would put my body first. Now did I think that I would need to keep that promise during Covid or Social Injustice, no not at all. However now more than ever I realize the importance of taking care…

Plan a Virtual Happy Hour Today
The weekend is upon us + I am in the mood to socialize! Dont worry, I am not out here in these streets, Covid cases are definately on the rise here in Charlotte + the state is still in Phase 2 for at least another 3 weeks. For the last few weeks my girl friends and I have been getting together for “check-in” Virtual Happy Hours and it has been a HUGE saving grace for me mentally. Virtual Happy Hour? Yes Please! It has been everything that I never knew I needed. Now while I’m sure we all understand by the now the importance of social distancing to #flattenthecurve and…

Somebody Say Doughnut?
As we close this week of posting of the consistency challenge, I want to be honest about 2 things + how I have been spending my time lately. So these days you can find me either cooking up snacks in the kitchen or purchasing new plants for my home. I like to think of it as me beautifying both the inside of my body while beautifying my home 🤷🏾♀️. Either way we are eating good and the air quality is sublime! If you follow my socials then you know that I was completely INFLUENCED by this amazing Plant Based chef Brianna when she made some delicious looking Vegan Doughnuts on…

Easy Quick Batter Blueberry Bread
One thing that I really enjoy that I dont make time to do enough is bake. During this quarantine Ive made it all. Cookies, breads, cakes and snacks galore. My go to recipe that I could probably make every single week is banana bread. Its sweet, hearty and great for breakfast or a snack. I recently started getting fresh produce from Farm Fresh Carolinas and in this weeks pickup there were fresh blueberrys. Now while the initial thought was these would be awesome in some pancakes, because there were so many I figured I could do something else with them. So I do want to preface this by saying I…
