Our grain-free cooking boxes that I created in collaboration with @little.sous came and the kids are SO excited!!

We created 3 themed hands-on cooking kits – I Loaf You, Pizza Party, and One Smart Cookie. All free of gluten, grains, and dairy!

Each comes with illustrated, child-friendly recipes, kitchen experiments to keep their minds curious and imaginative, a coloring poster to dig more into the foods you’re making, and a special child-safe kitchen tool!

I’m so excited to see you and your little ones using these this summer!

My students and I have been having the BEST time hanging out in my courses and cooking the most amazing gluten-free and dairy-free foods during this first part of the year, but there’s even MORE fun to come! Here’s a peek at some of the brand new recipes I developed exclusively for course members!

We also hang out live and do a cooking demo and q&a each month, trade tips and tricks on our private Facebook group, and I host giveaways and specials from my favorite brands and products!

Dairy-Free Copycat Dole Whip Recipe!

I am so excited to share my brand new recipe for Dairy Free Pineapple🍍Whip!

This creamy and refreshing treat is hands down one of Ryan’s favorite recipes, so much so that he calls it heaven in a bowl! The recipe was inspired by the classic Dole Whip you can find at Disney theme parks and following our recent trip to Disneyland, I’m sharing how you can enjoy it at home! Pineapple Dole Whip is like a mixture of soft-serve ice cream and sorbet. This paleo and Whole30 compliant treat contains only 6 simple whole ingredients and no added refined sugars! It’s a refreshing treat for a hot summer day that will definitely help you stay cool.

Im pretty dang proud of this body today.

I don’t always love my body. For starters I have an autoimmune disease that often makes me feel like it betrays me. In addition to that, I have a decade of being a ballerina as a teenager that left lots of unwanted body image baggage behind. Then add to it that it’s fairly normal for me to lose 30-45 pounds within a matter of weeks from my disease, and gain back even more from certain medications (looking at you Prednisone). It can be a roller coaster mentally.

This may not be popular opinion on social media, but I also don’t particularly love the way 4 pregnancies left my body looking. I do have the utmost respect and gratefulness for what it did and created.

Today though, I’m proud of it. I went back to my first Orange Theory class since I first saw signs of a flare up back in 2019 a few months before I was hospitalized. I had been a pretty avid OTFer with Ryan for about 1.5 years before that, but I pulled back from heavy exercise to give my body a chance to rest and heal.

After 3 weeks in the hospital, I couldn’t get up a flight of stairs in November ’19 without assistance. Then I worked my way up to walking a few miles by February ’20, and onto the Peloton bike by April for 20-minute rides. For the rest of the year, I was able to get through 45 minute rides, and just a month or 2 ago, started doing the bike bootcamp classes.

I was nervous getting back to OTF after so long away. I thought I’d puke or pass out or that my body wouldn’t be healed enough for it yet. I never felt better physically or mentally than when I was doing it consistently so I was excited to get back.

I got through it, and even ran on the treadmill again. It felt great. And I’m so proud of all my body has endured these last 2 years, and the healing it has accomplished. Our bodies were meant to heal. It’s just doing it’s job, and it’s done a pretty good one!

Did you know there’s actually 3 different red, white, and blue popsicles out there?! Bomb Pops, Firecracker Pops, and Rocket Pops. I always remember getting Bomb Pops from the ice cream truck and I wanted to create my own recipe for Homemade Bomb Firecracker Popsicles! Which one was your favorite?

Heres the recipe and a fun activity when you make homemade popsicles – write a word of encouragement for your kids on the top of the stick and when they’re done licking it all off, they can read it and their day will be a little bit brighter 🥰💫

2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
