Hello everyone! How is your week going so far? It has been a weird few weeks over here. We ended up getting a terrible stomach/flu sickness (or we suspect food poisoning??) that pretty much knocked us out for the end of April. So we have been catching up from that and are finally getting back into more regular rhythms. It was one of the sickest experiences I have ever had. Not fun!!

Hopefully your start to spring has been going more smoothly than that and you are getting out to enjoy the nicer weather!

Some unusual eats from the past few weeks!

Hi everyone!

How is your week going? I was loving the sunny + warmer weather we were having last week, and am bummed we are back to colder + rainier weather! Such is life here in Michigan.

Some favorite eats from the past couple of weeks!

Hello everyone!

How is your week going? I’ve been enjoying seeing the sun a little more lately! Cloudy day after cloudy day really starts to wear on me.

Over the weekend I spoke at an event with Michigan Cru on disordered eating and body image, got coffee with a friend at a favorite cafe in Ann Arbor, and did some household work/chores. We also have been watching some March Madness here and there. My championship pick (Texas) remains alive!

I’m certainly looking forward to spring with hopefully some warmer weather, time outside, and all the fresh spring produce.

Some recent eats for inspiration!

Hi everyone!

How is your week going so far? Thankfully it is almost spring!!

We missed out on all the snow in Michigan over the weekend as we were at my cousin’s wedding in Georgia. The sunny and 60-degree weather on Saturday was fantastic!

We enjoyed a long walk in the sun on Saturday morning and also enjoyed the time at the wedding. Some of the best wedding food I have had!

Let’s get to some recent eats!

Happy Wednesday!

This week I have been loving how it is getting noticeably lighter earlier in the morning. Sad that we will take a step back with this when we spring forward in a few weeks! :/

This weekend I have plans to visit a friend on Friday, potentially am going out to dinner with Alec for Indian (his favorite), and working on some projects/to-dos at home on Saturday. We are having my family over for Michigan basketball + dinner on Sunday. I’m also looking forward to getting in a couple walks and/or runs outside!

What are you up to this weekend??

Onward to some recent eats from the past couple of weeks!

Hello, everyone! I hope your week is going well so far. Last week was extremely cold here in Michigan!

Definitely warming up a bit this week. Which I’m not sure how I feel about since it will probably go back to being cold and snowy. I don’t love the temperature fluctuations and resulting ice/slush!

What do you like to do during winter to keep the season more enjoyable/interesting?? I find myself reading + cooking more, watching college basketball, getting to bed earlier… nothing too exciting but that is how I often roll!

Here to inspire you in the kitchen with some recent cold weather eats!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday. How is your week going so far?

We finally had some sun here yesterday. I can’t remember the last time I saw blueish skies when I was out running! I didn’t sleep very well the night before so was grateful for the sunshine throughout the morning that helped with giving me some much needed energy!

This past weekend I spent time with a good friend, went to another friend’s 30th birthday party, and then Sunday was usual church activities and Michigan basketball. I find that having some fun plans to look forward to throughout the month is so helpful for the winter months especially!
