HELLO I’M AUTUMN

I am a home-grown recipe creative who is also a mom to 5 boys, a Whole30 Certified Coach, and Whole30 Coaching Coordinator. I love making easy Whole30 & Paleo recipes for my family of 7 – we have eaten Paleo-ish as a family for 3 years.

My background is a BS in Exercise Physiology and I am a Certified Personal Trainer with many aerobics certifications – but I left that to focus on the food we eat when I realized how much it can change our health.

We live just north of Sacramento, CA and when not in the kitchen can often be found hiking, camping, and adventuring.

PALEO FUDGY BROWNIES - GF, DF, nut-free. 8-ingredi

PALEO FUDGY BROWNIES - GF, DF, nut-free. 8-ingredients, 15 minute prep, and makes a 9x13 pan.

I’m a brownie snob, I’ll admit it. Brownies are my all-time favorite dessert and these are perfectly fudgy.

They are my FAVORITE dessert recipe of mine and a must try. Even more delicious with a scoop of my paleo ice cream on top. And I’m not alone in this thinking (swipe left).

The mountains in Utah never fail to impress. I was

The mountains in Utah never fail to impress. I was born in Utah but didn’t grow up here. But this is where I went to college, met my husband, and had our first two boys.

Both our parents now live here, as well as 4 of our siblings. Between that and Whole30 HQ being here, I think it’s safe to say we will be here regularly and I’m not complaining ⛰.

Also here’s to the caregivers who regularly successfully pack their *entire* household for a trip but when left to pack for themselves for 2 days manage to bring a pair of biker shorts I swear was a sports bra and my son’s T-shirt to sleep in instead of my own 😂🙃.

PALEO HOMEMADE CARAMEL- GF, DF, tree-nut free. Car

PALEO HOMEMADE CARAMEL- GF, DF, tree-nut free. Caramel is one of our family's favorite ice cream toppings. But, so many of the store bought caramels have dairy or a looong list of ingredients 😬🤦🏻‍♀️.

This easy homemade sauce only has THREE ingredients! It's not hard to get behind a treat like this one. We especially love it on my Vanilla Paleo Ice Cream in an ice cream sundae. Yum!

Bookmark and be sure to make for your next ice cream sundae! 🍨

Our summer family rules (first day of summer over

Our summer family rules (first day of summer over here! ☀️). To some, this may seem like too much structure for the “lazy summer days” of summer. But, after years of wrangling multiple kids fighting and bored through 60-90 days of summer, we love this semblance of structure and has been an excellent landing place.

Monday - Friday these are the rules. They actually aren’t even mandatory. My kids don’t *have* to do them, but it’s the requirements if you want screen time that day. Needless to say, my kids voluntarily do them every summer day 😂.

Doing them takes my kids about an hour and a half. It gives them a loose focus for the morning while I get some work done. Sometimes they get exemptions if we have a big outing that day. 4 days a week we do gaming for screen time, 30 minutes each, on Thursdays our screen time is a movie (they take turns choosing it). My favorite one is them playing a game with a brother - it’s so cute to see them rocking Life or Battleship together!

Optional: we don’t do music lessons through the summer, but if they practice their instrument, they get an additional 10 minutes of gaming that day.

Do you do any summer kid rules? And how do you handle screen time in the summer?
