What I Ate Wednesday: Injured Edition
July 24, 2019 { 21 comments }While I write a lot of recent eats round up style posts, I don’t do many “this is what I ate in a single day.” I thought today was a perfect opportunity for a what I ate Wednesday post given that I’m injured and nowhere near as active as I normally am. In short, not [...]

Recent Eats Part Two: Eating with a Baby
January 25, 2019 { 21 comments }So much to share. I thought I’d get this post written much earlier today but it was one of those days where Finn wasn’t into napping and wanted as much physical contact with me as possible.

Thoughts on Asparagus + Recent Eats
December 2, 2018 { 23 comments }I came to the realization this week that I really don’t like asparagus.

What I Ate In a Day
September 19, 2018 { 10 comments }This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.

What I Ate + How I Worked Out
July 31, 2018 { 7 comments }Many have shared that they liked seeing a full day of eats from start to finish but I know some of you also like the “recent eats” round ups so I’ll try to do a mix of both. My Tuesday got off to an early start when Finn woke up to eat at 4:45 a.m. [...]

“Doctored Up ” Sweet Kale Salad Kit + Recent Eats
July 28, 2018 { 46 comments }In the last year or so I have found myself really enjoying various kale salad kits.

Behind the Eats
July 11, 2018 { 32 comments }Blogging is a weird thing sometimes. While I try to be open and vulnerable in this space, I don’t feel comfortable going to the place of “dear diary.” So often, even when I’m really struggling, I just keep going like normal here. It’s mostly a good thing because I enjoy writing and it helps me [...]

The Art of Eating with a Newborn
June 20, 2018 { 12 comments }I had to think really hard this morning about what day it was. I was really struggling to decide whether it was Tuesday or Wednesday.
