Now that I’m married, I am noticing this need to not only nest but begin my own family holiday traditions. So much so that I started decorating my house with Christmas decor before Thanksgiving.

DIY Plant Based Protein Powder
I’ve been a big ol’ sloppy, greasy-haired, no-showering, energy-lacking mess this week. In fact I haven’t been feeling very well over the past couple of weeks and have been relying on smoothies to really ensure that I am getting my veggies and good-for-you stuff into my body to promote healing.

Cucumber Jalapeno Margaritas
The perfect kitchen partner is sweet, gives that sour kick, and loves to be salty. Yup, that’s right–we are talking Margaritas and man, aren’t they the best thing to join you in the kitchen? Or a glass of wine. Or scotch (I’ve been really digging on a nice glass of scotch lately). Oh heck, who…
