Guys! The warmer weather is finally (consistently) here, and I am ready to give my stove a much deserved break. I start to scramble around this time looking for fancy, outdoor entertaining recipes....but I have come to the conclusion that keeping it basic is where it's at! Using seasonal and local produce will ensure that I have the most nutritious, most delicious and the most economical meal. So if you're ready to brush off last years burger remnants and step outside, check

I have been OBSESSED with this combination of peppery arugula, sweet watermelon and salty feta since spring, but now that it is 1,000 degrees outside, the watermelon makes this combo such a hydrating lunch.

Looking for a grab and go breakfast that doesn't start with a drive thru window? Try overnight oats. Literally prepped the night...or several nights before and stored in the fridge. Eat it as is or microwave for a hot and wholesome way to start the day. This recipe is just in time for blueberry season and is a nutrition powerhouse packed with cancer fighting phyto-chemicals, vitamin C, vitamin E and the B-complex group responsible for helping our body covert carbohydrates int

If you are looking for a way to eat healthy and still keep a budget, look no further than your own backyard. I like to practice what I preach, so we spent the weekend at a local farm picking strawberries, cherries, snap peas and beets. We got quite a haul and beacuse nothing gives me anxiety like food waste, I jumped on my "healthy meals" Pinterest page for some inspiration. While I would never slap the wrist of someone snacking on raw berries, I do, however, encourage clien
