One week ago, at just about this exact moment, I arrived home after an incredible 4 days in Washington, DC on Beautycounter's Advocacy Trip.

This is a tricky one! I mean, why would we ever be scared to succeed? Why would we be afraid of the very thing we want? Or what we're working so hard to achieve?

As I walk through the clothing sections of stores over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed swimsuits and skin-bearing clothing hitting the shelves. This sight gave me a reminder that swimsuit, shorts, and tank top season is almost here! I know for myself, and many people, I start to take a second look at my daily diet and exercise routine to make sure I am hitting my personal goals so that I will feel confident and happy in my warm weather outfits.

A few years back, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon a boxed version of Gingerbread at Trader Joe's. It’s one recipe that I wanted to recreate and make gluten-free. I love grain-free loaves seasoned with fall spices.

Angie's Paleo Friendly Banana Bread

Moist and fluffy carrot crush paleo muffins, these grain-free and gluten-free healthier carrot cake muffins are the perfect morning snack to Break-The-Fast. They are paleo and SIBO friendly as well. I always want my grain-free creations to taste as close to the 'real' thing like when you bake with grains as they are also super fluffy and moist always. Grains aren't really my thing. I do eat some but if I can recreate a recipe that can eliminate them I do! I used a combination of almond flour and coconut flour to stay as close as possible to the consistency that I love.

A Little Heat Paleo Meatloaf

Homemade Low Fodmap/Gluten Free Caesar Salad Dressing

Is there anything better than a delicious bakery muffin? I wanted to create a low-carb blueberry muffin that tasted just as good as my bakery style muffins I used to eat when I was younger. Do I dare say, they are just as yummy.
