What reminds you most of summer? To me it’s the smell of burgers on the barbecue filling the air, sweaty sticky children staying up way past their bedtime and long hot days playing in the sun, followed by crisp cold sheets and the very best night’s sleep. We reached the mid 80’s here in Utah…

It’s here! The post we’ve all long anticipated! Our Clean Eats Kitchen pantry reveal! I am so excited to share this space with you!

BEST Ever Instant Pot Sunday Roast and Veggies
When I think of Sunday’s growing up, I can smell my mothers pot roast filling up the house. Without fail, every Sunday we had pot roast and homemade popcorn with a movie. To this day it’s still my favorite meal she prepares for our family. I request it anytime she is cooking and she knows…
Healthy Habits + Our Morning Routine
I get asked all the time about how I’ve created healthy habits for my family, especially my children. To be honest, it’s a constant work in progress. One we strive to perfect daily. I’d like to say they do exactly as I tell them without ever pitching a fit, but the truth is they don’t….

Quick Cauliflower Ham Fried Rice
Whoever decided to toss cauliflower in the food processor and “rice” it… thank you. You’re genius. I eat a diet low in grains and over the past three years have completely swapped rice out for cauliflower. It’s close in texture and has similar characteristics soaking up all the flavors its mingled with. Plus its low…
