My Dad’s Famous Pumpkin Bread
In high school, my dad was jokingly called “Super Dad” by everyone on my soccer team. Besides being a full-time real estate attorney, he made breakfast every morning, packed our lunches, made dinner and attended every soccer game we had (My mom is also amazing and incredibly talented…but she admits she’d rather starve than cook so this post will be centered around my Dad haha!). In particular, my dad would make his infamous pumpkin bread every game for all the girls on the team and everyone went crazy over it.

The 5 Cookbooks We Reach For Over & Over
I consider myself a pretty lucky lady because my husband, Blake, loves to cook and therefore does the majority of cooking in our household!

I’ll plan on doing one more wrap up of this round after the full 30 days, but this check in will go over how I’m feeling, favorite recipes we’ve tried, and other tricks and tips that have helped me so far. How I Feel Overall, I feel awesome! This is the best I have felt on any of my rounds (this is my fourth) which I’m honestly surprised about. This season of life has been busy and…

All About Whole30
Today’s post is all about Whole30 – what it is, why I love it, what you can eat while on it and more! I plan on doing a brief recap either weekly or bi-weekly about my experience this round, so check back soon for more updates. (Edit: You can find my posts on my experience after I finished this current round here and here). What is Whole30? First of all…what the heck is Whole30? That was my question when I first started hearing about it a few years ago. I was feeling sluggish, tired, and bloated and was searching online for a solution.
