These paleo pumpkin protein balls are the perfect fall treat that’s also gluten-free, grain-free, does not require any baking and serves as a protein-rich mid-day snack or a healthy treat! I figured it was about time for me to accept that fall is here. Whether I like it or not, it’s getting darker sooner, the leaves are starting to fall, and I’ve seen a freakishly large amount of birds hightailing it to Cancun. Smart birds. The one thing I do...

Paleo Chicken Fingers
These paleo chicken fingers are just like the ones you remember as a child, just gluten-free, grain-free and not shaped like little dinosaurs. A Little Taste of Nostalgia If there’s one thing you could always get me to the dinner table for, its chicken fingers. I remember as a kid eating those little dinosaur shaped delights with mom’s “secret sauce” (which was really just ketchup and mayo mixed together, but I was none the wiser). Not only are they incredibly...

Tips and Tricks for Dealing with Airplane Anxiety
There’s one thing that can send most people with and without anxiety into a panic, it’s airplane anxiety. The thought of being cooped up in a tiny little space with complete strangers for hours can seem overwhelming. Even more so, you can feel like your putting your safety, even your life, in the hands of complete strangers. No problem right? I used to have nightmares about even stepping foot on an airplane. The thought terrified me. Then in the summer...

The Struggle with Self Worth and Tips to Power Through
It can be difficult sometimes in this day and age of glamorous celebrities and social media to maintain a positive sense of self worth. Complete strangers who seem to have it all, the perfect job, a house that always seems to be clean no matter what, well-behaved children, you name it. I’ve found myself lately reflecting on this exact subject, as I’m currently taking a break from Instagram for this exact reason: trying to keep up with the Jones. Why...
