I love adventures. No matter how small, I enjoy doing something different from my daily routine - whether it is exploring a new trail, experimenting with a fun recipe or fishing on the river. What do these 3 things have in common? Because they are new, I don't know what to expect, I don't know what will happen next. The fear of the unknown can either hold you back or push you outside of your comfort zone to experience exponential growth. Sometimes that can feel scary. Life is full of unknowns, aim to embrace it and thrive from it! Isn't that why we sign up for races, get out in nature, make goals for ourselves? If we KNEW we could accomplish everything we set out to do and that it would be easy...then we wouldn't really be making any progress. That's why we try to get stronger, faster, better. Different.

About MeI am a food loving, activity seeking health coach who resides in Franklin, TN with my husband and two sweet dogs (Lola & Penny). AllergiesI believe everyone should eat balanced and not cut food groups if you don't medically need to. All foods can fit in a healthy diet. Unfortunately, I have to avoid gluten and also limit myself with dairy, so my goal is to provide healthy, gluten-free/dairy-free recipes so EVERYONE can enjoy all foods, even if you do have to cut out certain food groups. My recipes are encouraged for everyone to eat, not just for those with sensitivities/allergies! Most of my recipes can be easily converted by using real dairy and whole-wheat in place of my allergy-free substitutes. SearchLooking for something specific?
