Once those temperatures start to cool down as we move into the Fall months, most people rush off to grab their first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. Warm beverages are fantastic during the colder months, but many of these warm drinks can pack a ton of sugar in one cup.
Luckily, there are loads of healthy and immune-boosting warm drinks you can enjoy instead.
Here are a few of my favorite options to rotate through the chilly months...
We blinked, and it feels like summer vanished! Now it’s time for fabulous fall recipes that if you are like me, you wait all year to enjoy. While salads tend to dominate the summer scene, cooked vegetables bring us more comfort in the fall.
One of the best ways to enjoy your veggies as the temperatures cool down is to crank up your oven and roast them. It gives them a fantastic texture and flavor that tastes more decadent than any other cooking method, in my opinion. They're just delicious! Plus, they pair well with any main dish.
If you’ve ever tried and failed at roasting veggies – perhaps they were overdone, or some pieces were still raw – you’ve got to keep reading to make the best roasted vegetables to go with every meal. Even those big holiday meals can do with a presentation of perfectly-roasted vegetables.
One of the most common requests I get from my clients is more healthy and easy recipes. These matcha green tea energy bites fit perfectly!

Tea is said to be the most popular beverage in the world. It’s been consumed for thousands of years by millions, perhaps billions, of people.
Tea has also been shown to have many health benefits. And some of these benefits are thought to be related to tea’s antioxidant properties. These properties are from its flavonoids known as “catechins.” Flavonoids are anti-inflammatory and have a range of health benefits that I talk about in this post.
What do green and black teas have in common?
