Summer is here – school is out, and in our neck of the “woods,” and the kids are spending every waking minute outside, begging for just one more trip down the block, one more second of evening light. Littlest asked me to buy popsicles this week to share with the neighbor kiddos. It reminded me I need to get moving making yummy ones myself; (summer fruit makes these raspberry avocado pops a great way to add nutritional value to a favorite summer treat!) even if I’m not adding sugar in my diet – currently on my third round of Whole 30 – I am making healthy pops to share. And these will be first on my must-make list when I splurge! These pops are creamy and have a tiny hint of bitterness from the coffee. I recommend saving them for the grown-ups – summer nights are late enough with the kiddos in my house without adding the caffeine kick! I love that these are packed with ingredients that are not just delicious, but beneficial for the body, too. Coconut oil, maca, and cacao nibs all add nutritional boost, and I feel like I’m splurging without guilt when […]

My Favorite Morning Drink | Bone Broth Recipe

I’m usually HUNGRY when I wake up. I might sometimes crave a sweet breakfast, and often we cook a hearty skillet. But my favorite thing when I first wake is a hot cuppa-something. I love my morning coffee, but sometimes I feel like the “buzz” is. Lately, I’ve been more often reaching first for a mug of bone broth. It sounds funky if it’s unfamiliar to you, but basically, it’s like having a steaming mug of grandma’s chicken soup, hearty and warm, and the perfect thing to get my body moving in the morning. Delicious and Nutritious Beef Bone Broth Fall is in the air and the time to make delicious broth is upon us. Fall is my favorite season with the changing of the leaves, the cooler temperatures and the sipping of a steaming hot cup of delicious broth! After you taste your first sip of the rich deep broth flavor, I promise you there is no turning back! With just a few simple ingredients you too can make bone broth to enjoy in hand during the cooler months (and you can freeze it for future use!). Bone broth is known to contain many beneficial amino acids […]

Raspberry Avocado Popsicles

At least one baby ago, my friend Jordyn shared this recipe with me. That was before she moved as far west as she could go, and I moved as far east as I could go, in the continental US. And just now, I’m having sweet, aching longings for our summery Saturday market mornings at the St. Pete farmer’s market, where one could wander for hours, leading up to a cold treat of fruity, surprising combinations in flavor at our favorite popsicle cart. More than that, I’m missing my dear foodie friend. So today, I’m sharing this recipe she created for raspberry avocado popsicles, so we can all have popsicle JOY. Enjoy! I know some people might not think avocado sounds yummy in a popsicle. I’m weird, because I do… but if you don’t, I promise, this avocado is “invisible,” both in appearance and flavor. It adds a hint of sweetness and the tiniest bit of needed creamy texture, and a whollop of nutritional benefits… so give it a try! I know I’m not the only one excited for autumn, but sad to see summer days go away. Here’s your way to stretch out the summer a bit […]
