Honey Grapefruit Margarita

Spending my whole life in California, I’ve developed quite the addiction to Mexican food. It truly is my favorite cuisine. Burritos, quesadillas, chips, guac, margaritas, etc. etc., I love it all. I have spent the better part of my adult life having some form of Mexican food every week. Unfortunately though, the cheese, the beans, tortillas, and oils aren’t exactly considered “wholesome” or healthy for you. And my body hates me dearly after. Giving up most of what I’ve come to know as Mexican food has got to be one of the hardest parts about cleaning up our diet. Especially the chips and salsa. It’s my kryptonite and I can’t resist them if they’re there.

So it’s no surprise that Cinco de Mayo is usually one of this gringa’s favorite holidays! Sadly though, this year I won’t be heading to Tlaquepaque to indulge in their famous Super Chevela and to-die-for chips and salsa. In fact, I think we’re going to have roasted chicken. Womp, womp! And since I’ve just begun this blog, I haven’t had a chance to recreate a wholesome version one of my favorite dishes to share with you. I DID however have a quick minute this afternoon to whip up a fresh, unprocessed and refined-sugar free margarita for you! You didn’t think I would leave you hanging now, did you?

Yes, alcoholic beverages aren’t paleo, primal or anything. I know. But we eat right 90% of the time so we can have one and feel ok about it. It’s about cleaning up what you can. And that’s what I did with this. It consists of freshly squeezed juice, homemade honey syrup, and some tequila. And it tastes so much better than any pre-made mix you will buy at the store. I’m looking at YOU Jose Cuervo!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
