Easter is rapidly approaching, which means that we all need to get our collective ish together and figure out how to eat all the chocolate.

Spring is fully coming to life this month.

Here's my favorite lazy food dish. I like it because I feel like I'm doing my body a solid by plying it with veggies, and my taste buds rejoice with spicy-sweet comfort food. It's like your very hardworking grandmother is hugging you from the inside.

In the spirit of melted chocolate and simple, decadent expressions of love, I made a little treat for my friends.

Am I the only one who gets pumped about using a crockpot during the colder months?

I soaked a few dates in some hot water, whizzed them around in my Nutribullet, strained out the chunks, and put it back in the Nutribullet with my coconut milk, plus a teeny-tiny pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt.The result? A genuinely delightful creamer that blew me away.

This probably won't come as a surprise, but taking care of yourself is probably going to piss some people off.

I know it feels like you're falling apart. It's the kind that happens when I have overcommitted and then something goes wrong and everything else spirals.

You don’t have to do it all in order to have a fun or memorable holiday season. Just do the things that bring you life and make your soul sparkle a little.
