A Simple Smoothie That Tastes Like A Vanilla Sugar Cookie Smoothies come in a million styles now with greens, toppings, bowls, seaweed, hot pink, neon green, frozen, oat-based, and more. 99% of the time I love all the variety and fun that comes with a good smoothie bowl. ( Like this one !!) But occasionally, I crave a simple smoothie, especially if I just want a snack instead of a whole meal. This Snickerdoodle Smoothie started the trend of putting Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter in my blender and the combo of the vanilla almond butter + vanilla protein brings out a cookie flavor. My favorite plant-based vanilla protein right now is Arbonne’s that I ordered from my friend Brett. It tastes like vanilla cake! I am a vanilla girl through and through. Call it cookie or maybe even melted ice cream. If you like vanilla, you will love this! Vanilla Cookie Smoothie The combo of almond butter and vanilla protein make this smoothie taste like a vanilla cookie. 1/2 banana (frozen) ...

How many carbs can you eat in a sitting and still “stay keto”? What constitutes a “keto meal”? I’ve gotten many questions about this topic. First of all, let’s get this out of the way: Keto is not a religion that punishes heretics with eternal damnation (or eternal reliance on exogenous sugar for energy). This post is not intended to make people feel guilty for eating five grams of carbs over the” limit.” It’s not even intended to set a hard limit in stone. It’s simply to provide people who care about this sort of thing a basic, admittedly rough, guideline for staying below the keto carb threshold within meals throughout the day. First of all… there’s a problem with establishing a universal keto carb threshold…. Why Universal Keto Carb Thresholds are Problematic Carb thresholds are a very personal thing. Not in the sense that you should only tally up your within-meal carb counts behind closed (and locked) doors, but in the sense that they are extremely context dependent: The n...

The first time I had cauliflower and mushrooms together, it was a beautiful moment. (Thank you to that incredible German cook.) It was also a game changer for how I saw cauliflower. There’s no error in calling these steaks here. When you pair cauliflower and mushrooms together, in this case a delicious adaptogen mushroom mix from friends at Four Sigmatic , what you have is a smoky-tasting, umami-rich feast. I could easily put away a few of these all by themselves, but what I love even more is the added kick that paprika and fresh chimichurri (one of my favorite sauces) give these steaks. I can’t think of a better vegetarian- and vegan-friendly dish—one that will bring even meat lovers to the table (and asking for more). Enjoy, everyone. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: For the Chimichurri: 1 cup cilantro (stems removed) 4 cloves garlic 1/3 cup+ Primal Kitchen® Greek Dressing Salt (to taste) For the Rub: 1 Tbsp. Four Sigmatic 10 ...

And in the blink of an eye, Birch in sleeping all night in his nursery. I hesitated to title this post “sleep training” because this experience was kind of the opposite of what we did with Mazen. But I think the entire process of going from newborn to baby who sleeps in their room in their crib all night is sleep training. Or sleep coaching. Or sleep learning. Whatever you want to call it! The final step of our sleep journey (at least for the short term!) is that we moved Birch from the Lotus Travel Crib in our room to his own room and big crib. Here’s how it went down! Context Where As of a few weeks ago, Birch was sleeping in his crib during the day for naps and in our room in the Lotus Travel Crib at night. I wanted him to be familiar with his crib but also wanted him close by at night since our master is on a different floor than his nursery. As far as I was concerned, he could have stayed in our room for a whole year, but I also knew the longer we waited the more we risked ...

Mal had quite the birthday this year – complete with 4 different celebrations! Woohoo! Celebration #1: Family party Mal’s birthday celebration officially kicked off the day before with a family “ Euro party ” at home. And, of course, no family party would be complete without Mal’s beloved Funfetti cake . We make it for him every year ! 🙂 Quinn was ALL about baking Funfetti cupcakes, so I picked him up early from school to get a jumpstart on them. When Mal got home from school, we headed out to the Euro Mart for sandwiches for dinner. Mal (ok, all of us) have a minor major obsession with the Euro Mart. If you’re local and have visited before, you KNOW what I mean! 😉 Back at home, we ate dinner together and then Mal opened his birthday presents. We gave him Eight Dates and a gift card to Huckberry – both of which were big hits! The party concluded with us sing “Happy Birthday” and eating Funfetti cupcakes! 🙂 Please note: The birthday sign in the background. We’ll leave tha...
