Hi there! I'm here with some tough love today. That's because I want you to stop making this very common mistake so that you can truly start optimizing your health, happiness, and success.

Hi! It's been a hot (haha) minute since I shared a recipe with you guys, hasn't it? I REALLY love creating nourishing delicious recipes like this "cheesy" cauliflower soup. You know what I don't love? Taking photos. I have a huge number of recipes to share with you guys, so if someone would like to just come take some photos for me that'd be great. ;-)
