    No Bake Almond Butter Cup Bars and What I’ve Been Up to Lately

    March 7, 2019 / No Comments

    Whew - I'm just about to the point where I need to dust the cobwebs off my laptop and this blog! After a brief hiatus the last two weeks (the longest since I started almost two years ago!), it feels good to be back. I've certainly been busy but also missing the opportunity to write. And it's one of those things which is hard to come back to after a break - like so many habits, it's often much easier to just keep going without "breaking the chain" as opposed to getting back into the swing of things. But I think I needed time away - I've been experiencing some…

    I vastly underestimated how much I would LOVE being a homeowner. As someone who tends to take commitments pretty seriously, owning a home has always been one which sounded a bit overwhelming. Yes, although I realize that homes can always be sold and you can still move if you ever wanted to or needed to - it still seemed like a scary commitment. However, after we have been living here for about a month and a half, we have been hard at work making upgrades to the house and it has been tremendously rewarding and fun. I now totally get everyone's obsession with all things HGTV,

    “One tree is like another tree, but not too much. One tulip is like the next tulip, but not altogether. More or less like people—a general outline, then the stunning individual strokes.” - Mary Oliver As I prepare to move back to the US, there are a lot of not fun things that need to happen - the packing, the administration of closing accounts and opening new ones, and most obviously leaving behind some of the best friends I've ever had. It's been a lot of work and a bittersweet experience so far, but of course there are many things on the other hand to look forward to - including…

    October 26, 2018 / No Comments

    Yesterday marked three years of #mandjhappilyeverafter. It seems simultaneously that our wedding was just yesterday and yet so long ago since so much has happened since then. We've moved internationally (and are currently coordinating the move back home!), traveled all over Europe, adopted our two little fur babies, and have grown tremendously as individuals and in our relationship.  Anytime that I stop even briefly to consider my life, my relationship with Jonathan is something which I never cease to be grateful for.  Even when I'm really feeling sorry for myself, I cannot ever come up with any evidence contrary to the fact that he is the best husband in the world.   Thankfully…

    Keeping Perspective and Paleo Strawberry Cashew Truffles

    October 5, 2018 / No Comments

    As someone who absolutely loves to travel (for fun, NOT work), I have had the opportunity to go on several trips accompanied by others. My most frequent travel partner is naturally my husband, but I have also traveled with friends and family in recent history, some relationships more closely knit than others of course.  And I've seen that it can be interesting to learn what certain people value or consider a vacation.  For some people, doing as little as possible aside from sitting poolside in the sun is ideal.  For others, it's not a holiday unless that means drink in hand at all times. There are beach goers, there are adventurers, and…

    Exploring Colorado: The Value of Nature and a Paleo Trail Mix

    September 6, 2018 / No Comments

    There are probably very few absolute truths, ideas or recommendations that everyone will agree on out there. But one that I have yet to find hotly disputed is the value of nature and being outside.  Across a variety of different areas of research and expertise, across time and cultures, in literature, media, and in daily life it seems that a constant element of the "good life" includes time spent in and an appreciation for nature.  Beautiful landscapes and wildlife can be awe inspiring and rejuvenating in ways that cannot be paralleled.  And thankfully, over the past month my many travels have included ample opportunity for time spent out and in…

    I am definitely what one would call a creature of habit and love my routine oh-so-much. Recently my guided journal provided me with a writing prompt to describe the ideal/perfect morning. And to be honest, as I considered the idea, it didn't look all that much different than business as usual. I'd still get up early (usually between 5-530 AM) surrounded by my little fam and I'd prefer to eat one of my "normal" breakfast foods in my kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand and messy bun atop my head, before I head out to teach and take barre. Initially when I think about these types of questions,…

    Have you ever stopped to really consider the tremendous impact that those around you have upon your experience of any given situation? Most people have noticed that the jokes in their favorite sitcom are much funnier when accompanied by a fellow couch-mate than when on one’s own, and the breathtaking sunset is even more spectacular when we are with someone else to share in awe with us. Similarly, when your Debbie Downer colleague walks into the office grumbling about Monday again, the week ahead may not seem as unsurmountable to you as it does to her, but certainly doesn’t lift your spirits. When we are around those who are sad,…

    I would generally consider myself someone who really likes to have clear expectations set, be in control, know the plan and stick to it.  I would not consider myself to be very spontaneous, but I suppose moderately flexible.  Since I am an Upholder, I sometimes find myself hesitant or reluctant to take on new things because I don’t want them to crowd out the things I have already started on because of course, we all have limited resources (time, attention, money, etc.) and I am not one to commit to something unless I know that I can see it through to the very end.  When I take on a new…

    Over the past month, I have been running on extra high energy and enthusiasm, making good progress on some pretty big projects. If you know me, you know that I love working towards goals and positively thrive on getting.stuff.done. I am now starting my eighth month of my Happiness Project and the daily resolutions tracker has gotten long. This weekend as my husband and I sat together for breakfast at home, I was working my way through the list and mapping out my strategy for the day. He is more than well-acquainted with the particulars of this project (and my general achievement orientation) and made some comment to the effect…

About Me

Hi!  I’m Miranda and I am beyond excited to have a platform to share my passion for cooking real (but still delicious) foods, enthusiasm for all things barre, and thoughts and ideas on a building a more healthy, holistic, and happy lifestyle. I am a Christian, a wife, a puppy mom, a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP) in training, and a barre and Pilates instructor who recently became a homeowner back home after living as an expat in Ireland for a few years.  Aside from getting sweaty working out and experimenting in the kitchen, I love to read, write, learn, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
