As I write this, I'm recovering from the WORST food poisoning of my life, which makes the practice of eating CAREFULLY so much more relevant to me. The last few days have been...well...extremely cavity opening. But I'll leave it at that because had I followed the advice from any of these books, I wouldn't have suffered through the last few days (and if you've had food poisoning before, you know what I'm talking about!). Definitely watch the video above from my appearance on the Show Me St. Louis show or CLICK HERE.

I recommend a single serve blender like the Nutribullet or Magic Bullet. A flexible ice cube tray like this one A bendy straw (not really a tool but what the heck)   Ingredients and recipe (serves 1): 1 can organic pumpkin...

Last summer around this time, I went dairy-free. It hasn't been easy and I've definitely veered here and there but I feel much better when I limit my dairy intake. So I'm constantly creating "food projects" for myself to stay inspired to live dairy-free. Not gonna lie...I'm not a frequent cook but I do like eating yummy stuff. The simpler, the faster, THE BETTER! Check out my homemade recipe for Berry Good Popsicles using the new Unsweetened Silk Almond Coconut Blend milk that literally just arrived in grocery stores. I'm even gonna hook you up with a coupon at the end of this post (for all you coupon-istas out there). Hey, no shame in a coupon.
