• Okra Eggplant Stew

    Okra & Eggplant Stew for #MeatlessMonday. SUPER easy to prepare. In a pot, melt a generous amount of butter or ghee. Add a diced onion, a cubed eggplant and salt, stir it all up until everything is coated and drizzle in a generous amount of olive oil over that. You want to almost burn the onions, stirring up all the flavor that’s going to stick to the bottom of the…

  • (Role) Model Life

    Reposting myself because I’m cool like that. ? I’ve never had abs, let alone a 6-pack. The closest I get is 2 top abs from having a killer serve in tennis, where I fold/crunch to come down on that yellow ball with a fiery force. ? #ace I’ve been 16% body fat, in a healthy way, training as an athlete and eating like a horse. I’ve been 25% body fat,…

  • Bison Bolognese

    The bubbling of this sauce over at snapchat (thepaleochef) is ? OMG. Caramelized onions and garlic in SO MUCH ghee before adding chopped fennel, dandelion greens, tarragon and spices. Followed by browning the grass fed bison into the base with a potato masher to really break up the ground, adding olive oil. Ending with tomato paste, a cup of water, paprika, cayenne and red pepper flakes. Bring to HOT BOIL,…

  • Recovering Yes Woman

    Hi. My name is Mary and I’m a recovering Yes Woman. All together now: Hi, Mary. Here’s the deal, in cliffs notes: I tend to be really generous with my time, my help, my food, my home, my money, etc. to the point where I, previously, didn’t set boundaries when I felt that the circumstance was becoming really unbalanced. Expressing this frustration to my Father, the feeling that “I’m being…

  • My Practice: Think Like a Champ

    At any time (like, right now) you can choose to trash all your excuses and start thinking like a champion. Champions don’t expect the trophy no sooner than after they’ve put in the work, over and over and over again. And once they get the trophy, they go back to putting in the work, over and over and over again. I don’t hear a single star athlete or ass-kicking entrepreneur…

  • INSTAGRAM: January 03, 2016 at 09:28PM

    And wise enough to know when to bow out of one too. I’m ok with being considered foolish for saying ilu first, aggressive for saying I don’t agree (and why), cold for setting boundaries and crazy for asking for what I want. I credit my “success” to those tough/uncomfortable conversations BUT I credit just as much success (and peace of mind) to checking out of a convo when I’m on…

  • RECIPE: Grain-Free Baklava (Paleo)

      I know, right?! I’ve been missing Baklava SO much. I first made this about 3 years ago for myself and really wonder why I never shared this with you. Forgive me? *wink* Here’s the deal, this is for a modest serving of baklava. Roughly 20-22 pieces depending on how large you cut your diamonds. I say that’s a modest amount because baklava is typically made in LARGE trays, I’m…

  • My 2016 Vows

    Last January, I set vows for myself. I started 2015 with this thought in mind: I am exactly the kind of woman I wanted to be when I grew up. From there, I patched any “leaks” with vows based on the things I struggled with in 2014. I’ve got my “business goal list” too but without my mind/body/soul shit together, I certainly couldn’t tackle launching another business. I’ve begun my…

  • RECIPE: Tahini Ginger Chews

    As seen on Instagram: ? and “tahini” ginger chews. Remember these from my feed way back when? ? I used to make these by the jar full, sometimes strictly for sweet tooth needs and sometimes with Alpha Brain and MCT oil for special clients. ?#nonamedropping Today, just sweet pleasure whilst I watch the game. Made 3 ways: Plain, Walnut, and Pistachio. SUPER easy to make, and this was the phase…

  • Butternut Tomato Soup

    The “after” turned out quite nice. Roasted Butternut Squash & Tomato Soup, Pan Seared Salted Haddock. Garnished with green onions, parsley and an orange-cream sauce made with @primalkitchenfoods mayo. A little black pepper and orange zest to end it before the first bite. I already took that bite. And a second and third. ??? #eatplaycrush
