Welp, here it is, my Whole30 Experience. I’ve put together a slideshow of my Whole30 Instagram photos I took in the name of “accountability.” They serve a scientific evidentiary purpose! From May 16 to June 15, I ate no dairy, sugar, gluten, grains, alcohol, or legumes. Overall, I enjoyed the Whole30 experience. I felt that … More My Whole30 Experience
In January, I decided that 2017 would be the year of personal challenges. Each challenge would last about a month, and I’d see if I grew from that experience.

Just like everyone else in the Midwest (and everyone else in the U.S.), I’ve probably had a variation of this soup in every single chain restaurant (i.e. TGIFridays, Max & Erma’s, Chilis, Big Boy, etc). And the kicker is that I can’t think of … More Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. It’s also the meal I look forward to eating least. Mostly that’s because eating too soon after I wake up makes me feel nauseated. Because I’d much rather sleep on weekday mornings, cold or room temperature breakfasts are my go to choice. I typically save the bacon and … More Salted Maple Coconut Granola.
