Some nights, take-out for dinner sounds really, really good.

But if you’re mindful of what you eat (because unless you’re getting a salad it’s hard to keep take-out healthy) or if you’re limiting excessive spending (because take-out can really add up), ordering out isn’t the best option.

And let’s not forget that once you give in and order take-out on a super busy night, it’s a lot easier to slip into the habit of ordering again later that week or the next week! It’s for this reason that I try to set myself up to avoid take-out, lol.…

September 25, 2015 by Faith 13 Comments

This paleo version of Korean Barbeque Beef (Bulgogi) is super flavorful and comes together fast enough for a weeknight dinner. I can’t remember whether or not my mom consciously taught me how to cook. I think it was more a case of her cooking family dinners for us every single night (on weeknights things like fish, broccoli, and rice or beef goulash or BBQ chicken with pasta salad and greens beans, and on weekends things like roast chicken or pot roast), and me watching her in the kitchen. Of course I also learned from a variety of other sources (TV, magazines, friends, etc.), but I […]...

June 24, 2015 by Faith 41 Comments

We all know that being active is part of a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes, however, it feels like a catch-22 when you and your family are so active that you’re always on-the-go and there isn’t even time to cook a healthy meal. Which is, of course, why so many people resort to the drive thru. I have a different take on fast food....
