Decorating for Fall is so much fun! I love switching out all of my summer stuff in favor of leaves and pumpkins to get in the spirit for the season ahead. Probably the most important place to update decorations, though, is actually on your porch. It’s the first thing your guests will see when they …
There’s no secret that I love a good smoothie. Smoothies are my favorite breakfast because they’re quick, easy, tasty, and you can take them on the go.

Chicken is definitely my favorite source of protein. It’s yummy, versatile, and generally inexpensive. The one downside is that pretty much every chicken recipe that looks good to me is loaded with carbs. Or, at least, every chicken recipe that shows up randomly on the newsfeeds of my social media accounts. Regardless, in my attempt …

When most people think of a diet, they think of eating less. And while this may hold true to some diets, the low-carb diet may not follow this model. It’s not so much about counting calories, as it is watching what you eat. Believe it or not, more is better on a low carb diet. …

The 4th of July was one of my favorite holidays while growing up. Every year, my family would pack up a blanket and head to our local high school, where they would set off fireworks on the football field. We would run around and play, we’d grab snacks from the concession stand, and when it …
