Simple Living & Holistic Wellness

Wellness Living

I think I might have just invented the phrase, “Wellness Living.” But I feel like it describes what we are constantly striving for in our house. Holistic wellness means that I’m striving for the whole us to be well – our bodies, hearts, and minds. And what I’ve found is that much of that comes from trying to live as simply as possible in today’s overly busy world.

I want this page to inspire you, give you ideas, and show you how slowing down, even just a bit, can yield tremendous results in terms of overall wellness.

Simple Living

The world and the pace at which it feels like it’s constantly moving – is just more than I want to burden myself or my family with.

It’s intense and fast and constantly trying to keep up with the looks on somebody else’s facebook feed. I know that this constant busy-ness does not make me happy. Any it definitely makes me anxious and tough to live with. I don’t want to put that on anyone.

So, I go about things differently. You can too. Join me.

Clean Eating

My relationship with food is…how shall we say? It’s complicated. I know how much better I feel, look, and think when I’m eating clean. But, boy do I love some “dirty eating.” So, when I make a clean eating recipe – it had better be delicious!

Clean eating to me means eating the most nutrient dense foods possible. I typically avoid gluten and dairy – although they aren’t completely off my list 100%. I’m giving you my favorite recipes here to enjoy.

There’s not quite anything like a hearty winter salad filled with soul warming ingredients including kale, quinoa, and cranberries. Top it off with the best tangy citrus dressing and you’ve got a little slice of heaven for lunch or dinner. This salad is delicious, healthy, and easy to fix. It’s also low-carb, paleo, and gluten free. And I love that you can easily add ingredients like apples, goat cheese, butternut squash, beets. #wintersalad #kalesalad #quinoasalad
