I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago speaking at a female entrepreneur event when I found a cute smoothie shop called Neckar on my morning walk. I gulped down one of the best-on-the-go smoothies I’d had in a while and it inspired me to semi re-create it at home. I used to use acai […]
There’s a reason everyone always picks out the red candies and fruit snacks; cherry is one of the most classic and crowd-favorite flavors of all time.

Move over chicken noodle, my chicken quinoa soup is even better. Nothing beats a huge pot of homemade chicken soup, and while it’s incredibly good for you, the noodles that fill the pot usually aren’t. I find quinoa to be a delightful substitution that bumps up the nutrition of your soup even more. Quinoa is a […]

However, there are times when I just want warm comfort food that’s quick and satisfies my elementary-school-girl-mac-&-cheese-cravings. 🙂 It’s been a little rainy in Bozeman, and this dish really hits the spot.
