Easy Sweet Potato Cashew Wrap + Quinn’s Holiday Pageant

Image
Hi, guys! Another “Quinn and Mumma” day is in the books, and I have to admit it was one of my favorites to date! 🙂 It started like a lot of them with snuggles and TV on the couch followed by breakfast. This particular morning, Quinn requested oatmeal for breakfast. OATMEAL, people! Apparently, they eat it at his school, and he really likes it. Being the oatmeal fan that I am, I jumped at the chance to make it (with “brown sugar,” of course). I even added a little extra brown sugar and talked it up the best I could as a super special bowl of oatmeal. (I mean, it was the first time he was going to it eat at home, so I was pumped. New foods for picky eaters are very exciting!) I also made myself a bowl of oatmeal, so we could eat the same breakfast together. Well… Quinn sat down at the table with me, took one look at the oatmeal, and said he didn’t want it. Whomp whomp. I tried to figure out why, but he said he just changed his mind and wanted a PB&J Bar and yogurt smoothie ins

Keto Masterclass Testimonial: Newfound Confidence and Motivation

Testimonial written by: Kendal When I met my husband in 2014 he introduced me to the world of Paleo. He himself began eating Paleo a few years prior after hearing about Robb’s book in a podcast. I remember seeing a copy of  The Paleo Solution  sitting on the end table in his living room one of the first times I came over to his home. My first thought was oh great, he’s a health nut. I worried that my love for sandwiches would be end up being a deal breaker for this health conscious guy but that wasn’t the case at all. Whether it was sharing a story he’d heard on a podcast that morning or cooking us a healthy dinner in the evening, throughout the next year of dating he politely showed me what it was like to eat healthier. We got married in 2016 and though I definitely tried to stick with these healthy ways of eating I still struggled. In October of 2016 I decided to try the autoimmune protocol (AIP) to try to heal my guts health. My digestive system was always something that had g

It’s that time of year again. People are starting to think about the new year ahead, which always goes hand in hand with resolutions aimed at improving health and fitness. I have an idea: Why not make metabolic flexibility your goal for 2019? Metabolic flexibility refers to the ability to efficiently use different substrates for energy. Once you free yourself from carbohydrate dependency, you can enjoy sustained energy throughout the day. You can skip a meal or two—or even engage in longer fasts—comfortably. Add to this the ability to supercharge your fitness and sports performance, plus burn excess body fat without the deprivation of a traditional diet mentality. Sounds great, right? “But Mark,” I hear you asking, “If I’ve already been following the Primal Blueprint for a while, am I not metabolically flexible already?” Yes, you are undoubtedly better at burning fat than the average person nowadays…. BUT (and this is a big but) unless you’ve embarked on a period of dedicated v

Five Tips For Babies To Eat Real Food

Image
It’s almost time for real food! Given that it’s been 6 years since I’ve fed a baby solids, I figured a refresher from the pros would be appropriate. Registered Dietitians moms  Whitney and Alex created a program called Plant-Based Juniors, and I’m sharing all the deets in today’s post.  +++ Hello! Let us introduce ourselves. We’re Whitney and Alex, Registered Dietitians, moms and co-creators of Plant-Based Juniors . We’re also big fans of KERF and excited to chat with you about one of our favorite subjects – introducing more vegetables in infancy. VIDEOS While we’re both “predominantly plant-based” eaters ourselves, our mission is to get more plants on the table – regardless of what else you’re serving! After seeing private clients for the past decade, we believe that most of us could use a few more plants in our diet, so why not begin that habit right from the start?! As we both became moms in the last year, we know the struggles that come with deciding what (and how
