Keto Stir Fry.
WAIT! Don’t leave just because I used the word KETO! This is such a great way to get your veggies in, no matter what religion you worship ~ vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, or cookie monster! I am quite ecumenical ~ I’m a lover and believer in all of those disciplines. Whatever makes you feel amazing. But this month, I’m doing a 30-day keto reset and … Continue reading Keto Stir Fry.

Harvest Salad.
What’s your “new normal” now? Hate that phrase as much as I do? My new normal is not so new to me ~ it’s called “make salads great again”. Ugh ~ I hate myself right now. Enough with the stupid catch phrases. Here’s a salad recipe that will make you feel okay about eating yet another salad for lunch. You can also serve this at … Continue reading Harvest Salad.

Day 101/365.
101 days on this beautiful roller coaster! The past few weeks have felt more like continually falling into a dark well, but somehow, I’ve stopped falling for the time being. Mondays are always recording day for me. I record vocal warmups for my program called Raise Your Virtual Voice, and I work through any technical website issues that go along with that. It usually turns … Continue reading Day 101/365.

Thanksgiving-ish Rice.
This is my mom. I am, more or less, turning into her with every passing day. Just the other day I woke up at 5:45am and immediately started cooking, baking, doing laundry, picking up the house, working on real estate, checking email, and noticing I was way too energetic and happy for that early in the morning. Yep. Turning into my mother. One thing my … Continue reading Thanksgiving-ish Rice.
Decaf Earl Chai Tea.
Chai tea is so lovely on a cold, cozy night at home. Snuggle up with a good book, a warm blanket, and a mug of hot, spicy Chai, and you are most definitely living your best life. But where are the decaf chai tea choices? Huh? It’s virtually impossible to buy decaf chai tea anywhere, so just make your own! It’s super easy! Okay, you … Continue reading Decaf Earl Chai Tea.

Day 78/365.
I can’t believe it’s already day 78 of this crazy challenge!! The last few weeks of 4M failure REALLY shouldn’t count, but struggling and failing is all part of this process. Right? RIGHT???? The past few weeks have been A LLLLOT. I’m like a helium balloon in a park, bobbing from tree to tree, never hitting the ground. That sounds fun, but it’s soooo not … Continue reading Day 78/365.
Collards and Beans w/Cornbread Mug Cake.
This is truly comforting, delicious, hearty, healthy, cheap, down-home cooking. This is the cooking of my people, especially on my father’s side. The Tannehill’s grew up near the Lake of the Ozarks, before it was the touristy place it is now, in an area called Kaiser, Missouri. The major key factors I know about my father’s side of the family is this: they drink coffee … Continue reading Collards and Beans w/Cornbread Mug Cake.

Day 60/365.
I wonder how easy life would be if we could cut off our emotions and just be robots? Granted, I don’t want that kind of life. But could I maybe have just a touch of it? My year-long challenge is 60 days in, and I’m seeing the extreme, incredible benefits in pushing past the way I feel, or how much I don’t want to do … Continue reading Day 60/365.
