Chicken and Broccoli Cauliflower Gnocchi Casserole (Paleo)

And the freezer cleanout continues! Isn’t it weird how some of my favorite recipe creations simply come up from needing to make something work with ingredients I already have? I bought some of the Trader Joe’s Cauliflower gnocchi about 9 months ago simply out of peer pressure. Everyone kept saying how awesome they were, and […]

Boss babing with the mini. . . Thea set up a little desk for herself in my office and is “working” on her computer. This lil’ lady is going to do big things one day, and I can’t wait to see it. . . . . #workfromhome #workingmom #raisingdaughters #girlboss #socialdistancing #raisingstronggirls #workworkworkworkwork #leapfrog #doingmypartco #doingourpart #womeninbusiness

New normal- I’m working remotely, Seth’s on partial unemployment, Thea’s out of daycare. Who else is working on focusing on the positives of this situation? We are spending more time together than we have in ages! . . . . #workingfromhome #workingmom #socialdistancing #doingmypartco #broomfieldcolorado #familytime #wearebroomfield

We went out today to spread cheer and happiness to everyone walking past our house to the open space at the bottom of our street. These family moments and ability to connect with our community are some of the small positives coming out of such a horrid situation. I pray they stay long after we beat this thing. . . . . #spreadinglove #community #doingmypart #doingourpartco #colorado #broomfield #parenting #coloradostrong #artforkids #chalkyourwalk #socialdistancing #wearebroomfield

Thea drew Odin today 😍. With everything going on, I’ve really missed having him around. Dogs always know exactly when you need cuddles and companionship, and Odin always made me laugh with all of his antics. It’s too quiet and clean in our house and I miss him to pieces.

Who’s been working out from home? 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I’m having a hell of a time staying motivated, so I’m really focused on getting a schedule set up to keep me on track. Last week was a week to adjust- this week is to embrace my new normal (at least for awhile). . . . . #fitmom #homeworkout #hysterectomyrecovery #hystersister #endowarrior #tattedmom #gymrat #girlswithmuscle #lifttogetlean #mondaymotivation #exercisebands #gaiam #quarentine #stayhome #workoutmotivation #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #getmoving #exerciseismedicine #adenomyosis #wellnessblogger #doingourpart #doingmypartco

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” -Anne Frank . . Do not forget to get out and breathe in the fresh air. It’s good for the soul. Whether it be your backyard, a balcony or an empty trail, I promise it will make you happy. . . . . #socialdistancing #getoutside #natureisbeautiful #mentalhealth #parenting #colorado #wearebroomfield

Tonight’s “Quarantine Cuisine”. It’s got the other half of a box of noodles I got for crafts in it. Waste not want not! We aren’t on official quarantine or lockdown out here in Colorado- but it’s important for us all to act like it and do our part.. . One of the things I realized when I started cooking seriously was that we do some silly things- one of them being throwing away homemade broth and using store bought. Tonight’s soup stock was the crockpot juices from our St. Patrick’s day corned beef. I tossed in anything that was was left in the veggie drawer from the week- mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, parsley, thyme, and the leftover slow cooked carrots, cabbage, parsnip, turnip and onion from Tuesday. Tossed in the random noodles and some chicken thighs and I can feed us for days. And- IT WAS DELICIOUS! . . This is a time where we should not waste. Where we should get creative in our kitchens. Where we can do our part by getting back to basics. . . #nomnom #quarantinecuisine #antiinflammatorydiet #cleaneating #endodiet #eattherainbow #veggies #wellnessblogger #recipeblogger #foodporn #foodie #stew #socialdistancing #cookingonabudget #healthylifestyle #cookingwithleftovers #homemadefood #budgetmeals #soupseason

Transferring from exercising at a gym to my family room without much notice has not been easy- but I am so glad I’m doing it. Not only have I been able to maintain the progress I’ve made over the past 6 weeks, it’s helped a ton with my stress levels. Basically- I’m nicer and happier, even with all of the crazy and the unknown going on all over the world. . . All you need is yourself and your body to exercise. There are SO many things you can do to stay healthy and train using just your body weight. @kyliefityoga has been posting some daily free workouts - her Lift to Get Lean program is what I’m currently on round two of. . . Be gentle with yourself. These are uncharted waters and it’s important to recognize where you are at and what you need to stay healthy mentally as well. . . . . #fitnessjourney #fitmom #hysterectomyrecovery #hystersister #endometriosis #invisibleillness #fibromyalgia #adenomyosis #strongnotskinny #gymlife #fitnessmotivation #endowarrior #chronicillness #fitnessjourney #fibrowarrior #endostrong #homegym #gymclosed #socialdistancing #wellnessblogger #wellnessjourney #fitness #gymrat #liftogetlean #girlswholift #girlswithtattoos #exercisemotivation #strongnotskinny #gaiam #spri

I was excited to still have a sense of normalcy in our lives this morning when we were able to do our yearly Saint Patrick’s day traditions. The leprechaun delivered gold coins and we had a green themed breakfast. . . Due to our need for social distancing our neighborhood is doing a fun project where the kids all color shamrocks and hang them in the window. Later today the children will be able to go count them in the windows for a fun activity. I love how this terrible time has brought such a sense of community and creativity out. . . . #saintpatricksday #socialdistancing #momlife #tradition #familytradition #stuckinside #broomfieldcolorado #parentingtips

Quarantine with actual sunshine day 1. Barbies, beer and a whole bunch of dress up.

I’m so ready for grill weather- we had a couple nice days, so I loaded up the BBQ with some amazing steak and veggie packed kebabs. There’s just something about the flavors you get from grilled food. With a marinade of of garlic, dijon mustard, coconut aminos, olive oil, salt and pepper, this was delicious! I served it on top of a bed of rice, but will be using leftovers in an egg bake and to top salads over the next few days. It would even be delicious tossed into some garlicky pasta! . . . . . #paleo #kebabs #countingmacros #macrocounting #nomnom #grilling #antiinflammatorydiet #cleaneating #endodiet #eattherainbow #veggies #wellnessblogger #recipeblogger #foodporn #foodie
