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.

GF/DF OREO POPCORN - Dreams coming true with the G

GF/DF OREO POPCORN - Dreams coming true with the GF/DF @oreo I tracked down at Walmart today. 😍
.
Every Friday night we watch movies as a family. We’ve done that since my kids were babies and love it.
.
Popcorn is almost part of the equation, as I was a popcorn loving kid. Tonight I:
.
• popped 1/3 cup kernels
• drizzled with 1 cup melted @walmart Great Value GF/DF white chocolate
• then quickly stirred in 8 crushed Oreos
.
So incredibly easy and good! And the options you could stir in or top this with are endless.

Who else loves Oreos and is thrilled for the NEW GF/DF Oreos? 🤩🙋🏻‍♀️.

(Not an ad or sponsored and you bet your pants I hunted down these Oreos myself. But hey @oreo I’m here if you want to send me some more 😉)

I'm in a mood y'all. And I know I'm not alone.

Today's piano incident (see my stories) was minor, but the tangible straw that broke this camel's back as it PROVED clearly they don't go to their father enough. My husband and I have been lucky enough that he has gotten to work from home most of the past year. We freaking LOVE spending that much time with each other.

And also, with my children schooling virtually and being home with us most of the last year, I'm burnt out on being needed.

Tomorrow you might see me walking around with a sign that says "Ask your father first for anything you need."

I adore my children. And also, 2020 (and it's still lingering restrictions) was a lot on moms.

Who feels this? 🙋🏻‍♀️

5-Minute 5-ingredient Whole30 Mayo + Mayo Troubles

5-Minute 5-ingredient Whole30 Mayo + Mayo Troubleshooting - I *never* a few years ago would thought I’d be the kind of gal to make my own mayo. That was a little “out there” for me, not gonna lie.
.
But the more ingredient labels I read, the more I just couldn’t with most store bought mayos. And I used to be a @miraclewhip girl growing up - ate miracle whip sandwiches for two years of elementary school (literally 🍞+miracle whip) 🤢. The ingredients in that are terrifying. 🙈
.
If you are on a #whole30 @primalkitchenfoods mayo is compliant and can be bought @wholefoods as well as is tasty, but costs $6-12 per cup 😬 whereas homemade is about $2 per cup.
.
When I have local clients over, I have them make this so they can see it’s really *that* simple. And it’s a fantastic base for so many affordable delicious dressings and sauces (ranch, cilantro ranch, date mustard).
.
I’ve had a lot of people reaching out saying their homemade mayo isn’t turning out, wondering what went wrong. I get that! See my blog post for all the details that can make a difference.
.
Making your own mayo is like a #whole30 super power. Who’s made their own mayo before? 😃🙋🏻‍♀️ Raise your hands high!
