Cereal. Americans’ breakfast of choice.  It’s crunchy, sweet, accessible, fun to eat, and incredibly tasty. There’s a flavor for everyone out there; you can find fruit tasting cereal, Oreo cereal, plain cereal, diet cereal, gluten-free cereal, you name it. I used to have a bowl of cereal every morning in high school and college; this was before I turned Paleo, of course. It was for sure my go-to breakfast item and one of the things I looked forward to the most in the AM. I loved the Vanilla-Almond Read more [...]

Who here loves chocolate? If that’s you, then you’re in luck. These Chocolate Date Granola Bars will make your taste buds sing.

They take hardly anytime at all to make and you can store each granola bar separately by covering each with plastic wrap (cover each bar all the way around, so that it keeps Read more [...]

I never really liked mayonnaise. Like, ever! I used to swamp my sandwiches and French fries with either mustard or ketchup, buy NEVER in the world would you see me using mayo. Eww. “Who likes mayo? And, why?” These two questions would always come to mind whenever I saw mayonnaise. Just the thought about how awful French fries would taste when dipped in plain ol’ mayo, weirded me out completely.  I would then immediately force myself to stop thinking those thoughts, because otherwise, I Read more [...]

All my life I’ve been using store bought deodorants. I used to always get tired of their potent smell, of how weird it felt taking a shower and trying to remove that sticky (almost rubbery) feel it left behind, of how it stung when applying it right after shaving…goodness, so many “inconveniences” deodorants would give me. Do you feel the same way about your current deodorant too? Or am I the only crazy one? In any case, if you are a bit unsure about your deodorant and all the ingredients Read more [...]

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
