Getting Cozy for the Holidays with Orville Redenbacher’s

Can you believe that Christmas is just a few days away?! It honestly just feels like I was getting ready for fall just a few days ago! I think I have just been so busy this season that I have had hardly any time to just enjoy the Holiday season.

So this weekend, I forced myself to take some much needed time-out, shut off my email and relax and get in the Holiday Spirit, and Orville Redenbacher’s helped me out with that.

There’s just something about popcorn, PJs, a movie marathon and blankets on a cold winter’s night that is just so comforting. I really love those terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. I mean, they are just so bad that they’re good! It’s kind of  a family tradition in my house to watch as many of them as we can with popcorn in hand during December.

Recipe: Candy Cane Pancakes (gluten-free)

‘Tis the season for Candy Cane everything! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in full Holiday mode, thanks to all those delightfully terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. (I know, I know, super corny. But they are so bad they are good!) We had our very first snowfall today too!

As a result, all I want to do is wrap presents, stay in my onesie and work by our Christmas tree. I’m also craving everything chocolate-y and peppermint. So naturally, I started baking!

Refreshing and Cooling Smoothie, Perfect for Summer!

I’ll be honest – I’ve never been one to eat enough fruits and (especially) vegetables in a day, so I love smoothies for this reason. Smoothies are such a great way to incorporate some more fruit and veggies into your diet, without it feeling like a chore.

My rule of thumb when I’m making mixed smoothies is that you should be using more vegetables than fruit. I like to use just plain water in my smoothies too so that it doesn’t get too sugary, (I’m not a fan of coconut water personally), but I’ll still put int a little bit of juice for taste.
