    Superpowers and a Super Easy Whole30 Tuna Zoodle Casserole

    November 23, 2018 / No Comments

    If you could have any superpower what would it be? According to a quick Google search - the most common responses are usually superhuman agility, the ability to fly, being able to read minds, invisibility, superhuman intelligence or immortality.  On a slightly more practical level, many people seem to wish that they were blessed with the ability to be in more than one place at the same time or that they always had the right words to say.  As a general rule, I'm not a big fan of these kinds of questions (which is the reason why the daily brainstorming sessions are still going strong to stimulate my creativity and levity!),…

    Gratitude and a Whole30 Fall Chicken and Butternut Squash Salad

    November 22, 2018 / No Comments

    Happy Thanksgiving - one of my favorite holidays of all!  It's one that brings people together simply for the purpose of being together and reflecting on the many things that we have to be grateful for.  In light of our rapidly approaching date of departure, we celebrated our third annual Irish Friendsgiving a little early this year and today I am enjoying a less hectic day of work with a lot of packing on the side.  Moving, as stressful and onerous as it can be, always presents a great opportunity to reassess one's possessions and eliminate or reduce clutter - something I genuinely enjoy.  And it provides the opportunity to…

    Dealing with Seasons of Stress and a Whole30 Fajita Chicken Protein Salad

    November 13, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Stress is a crazy thing. There are million and one proverbs, clichés and admonitions about how going through times of trial and tribulation bring out one's true colors or show what someone is made of. And while that's all true, valuable, and potentially reassuring - it often doesn't feel like it (or like it matters) in the moment, nor do I always like to be reminded of that fact. I've mentioned before that my own personal, very unattractive natural tendency when I am out of time, patience, or energy is to become a "dictatorial steamroller." Since I am aware of this proclivity, I try to pay attention to the times…

    I would consider one of my strengths to be my ability to both formulate and execute a plan.  I LOVE planning - everything from meal plans to barre choreography, from vacations to my wedding, and everything in between.  I would consider one of my weaknesses to be my strong distaste for not knowing what to expect.  I'm not great at "going with the flow" and just seeing what happens when it happens.  In fact, "not great" hardly scratches the surface.  I loathe being in the dark and thus ill-prepared for anything of importance.  Thus the logistics of moving and such a big transition have my anxiety levels above optimum at…

    Although I knew that it would come up quickly as soon as we had finalized the decision to move back to the US, I have to say that I am still shocked by the fact that we will be sailing away less than 7 weeks from now. There are a multitude of things that I will really miss about Ireland and our lives here, most especially the friends I have made of course, but also the little things like walks to Coco and Lulu's favorite park, the familiar faces of the baristas at Cork Coffee Roasters, "our spot" at The Spitjack and the Sweet Potato Toast there, and the ability to…

    What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? (and a Whole30 Smoked Salmon and Peach Salad)

    October 19, 2018 / No Comments

    So my latest obsession is learning about all things personality related.  It was something which I felt it would be interesting to look into in more detail based on my experiences with my Happiness Project.  In short, a major finding is that although we can all move the needle in a more positive direction, what exactly leads to a happier life for me is probably not identical to what would for you due to our individual differences.  Starting out that project, I remember reading Gretchen Rubin's argument that one of the keys to happiness is self-knowledge, and she says that "we can build a happy life only on the foundation…

    October 12, 2018 / No Comments

    Originally I had planned to write about the topic of perfectionism today in light of some of the recent internal dialogue I have been having on the subject after recently reading Brene Brown's, I Thought It Was Just Me (But It's Not).  I have been someone who has struggled with some relatively serious maladaptive levels of perfectionism for probably my whole life.  In her typical penetrating style, Brown's insight on the topic was a bit deeper and more nuanced than the usual on the perils of perfectionism and it's been something which I have kept coming back to over the past few weeks. But as I sat down several times to try…

    Much has been written demonstrating the value of investing in experiences as opposed to things when it comes to boosting our satisfaction with life. And I know from personal experience I rarely regret spending money on meaningful or unique experiences which is especially true when they include the company of friends or family, a fact I was reminded of when my parents came to visit over the summer.  Although we had many very memorable experiences together, one that I was considering lately was our night out in the West End to see Wicked.  The production was fantastic.  And it was fun to see it together because none of us were at…

    Foundational Habits Part Three: How What We Eat Affects Everything Else

    September 25, 2018 / No Comments

    An idea which has always been a bit lost on me is the expression or admonition to "work smarter, not harder."  Now I know intellectually what is meant, however, I cannot wrap my head around why there is necessarily a dichotomy.   I have long thought that if only I could work both SMARTER and HARDER, then it would only serve to be all more advantageous no matter the endeavor. And in many ways this seems to have been the case (and in others it was my sanity and that of those around me to pay!).  Certainly being strategic about one's efforts, in addition to being diligent, can really have a…

    Foundational Habits Part One: Sleep and a Whole30 Butternut Squash and Sage Frittata

    September 18, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Although summer is my favorite, I do love September.  The changing colors outside are gorgeous and (usually) the weather takes its time transitioning to full on freezing.  I also love fresh starts and fall resolutions and getting back to routine, perhaps especially this time around when I've been out of it for so many weeks.  I feel a bit behind in general as I attempt to catch up on everything personally and professionally in addition to preparing for a major move back to the States in just three months (that in and of itself is both exhilarating and anxiety-provoking simultaneously!).  And while there's so much to do and I have…

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.
