We're in the midst of that time of the year when the beaches are packed, the sun is hot, and the social plans are plentiful. It may be tempting to kick back and chill during all of your free time, but there are so many ways to take advantage of the season and stay active outdoors... I say take advantage of them! Today I'm sharing what's in my summer gym bag as I've been on-the-go locally and road tripping around the northeast to places like Massachusetts and Vermont. This week my husband and I are at the Jersey shore enjoying some downtime at my family's beach house. While we've taken a few trips during my pregnancy, this one seems to be the ... [Read More]

5 Awesome Dairy Free (Non Coconut Based) Frozen Dessert Brands
Recently I heard that ice cream is Americans' favorite dessert. As an ice cream lover myself, this may be one of the only commonalities that this healthy eater has with typical American eats! Ever since the weather warmed up, ice cream has been my top pregnancy craving. And while I've been eating dairy ice cream as well, since I like to limit my dairy intake and eat predominantly plant-based, I've been experimenting with trying out all of the dairy free frozen desserts available (okay, I haven't gotten to every single one, but I've been making my way around the ice cream aisle!).

I've also noticed the wide variety of flavors and ... [Read More]
Peach Crumb Cake {vegan}
Summertime fruit is my jam. Cherries, peaches, watermelon, strawberries... you name it, I'm eating it these days! Recently I was enjoying a big ole bowl of summertime fruit when I started thinking about how peaches would be great incorporated into a crumb cake recipe. So, I did what any foodie recipe creator would do, and I started playing around experimenting with a peach crumb cake. This recipe was inspired by Ashley at Cook Nourish Bliss, whose pumpkin apple crumb cake is a favorite of mine. I've made it countless times, and it's a goodie to bring to fall get togethers and to make for brunch over the holiday season. The crumb topping is to die for! Featuring an almond + whole wheat flour cake base, I opted to make this crumb cake vegan by using coconut oil and a bit of apple sauce ... [Read More]
Highlights from My Recent Press Trip to Nantucket
A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a press trip in Nantucket, Massachusetts that was hosted by the CerconeBrownCompany PR & marketing team. Over the last several years in June, I've attended the IDEA World Fitness Convention in Anaheim, and since I was missing it this year, the CBC Summer House trip sounded like the perfect alternative for me to get my pulse on newly released products in the health, food, and lifestyle worlds. For anyone who isn't familiar with Nantucket, it's a little summer destination island off Cape Cod, Mass. I had been wanting to visit there, and it definitely was the quintessential New England island that I was envisioning! Lots of cedar-shingled houses, beachy vibes, cobblestoned streets full of cute shops and restaurants, and preppy ... [Read More]
