If there’s one thing I love about my job, it’s being able to give back to those in need. Anytime a project comes along that allows me to give back to my community and teach my kids the importance of giving back, I’m totally onboard. In my latest partnership with Cricut, we’re paying it forward with Feeding America and I’m doing my part to spread awareness about hunger and homelessness in our communities.

Whole 30 Lemon Pepper Chicken Fajita Salad

After all of the holiday eating these last few weeks, I’m ready to get back into my healthy eating lifestyle. This time Whole30® style. I had great results following a Whole30® lifestyle but after those back to back Disney trips, I definitely fell off the wagon. Then it was the holidays and I really struggled with finding my groove again. But like they say, new year, new you and I’m taking that to heart. I’m meal prepping healthy meals and snacks so I’m not tempted to reach for junk food. I turned one of my favorite dinners into a delicious Whole30® compliant salad and it’s delicious! This Lemon Pepper Chicken Fajita Salad is oh so yummy you won’t even notice you’re eating healthy!

If you love crafting and creating projects, let me give you 5 reasons a Cricut Explore Air 2 is a MUST own piece of equipment.

A couple of months ago when I went to Perdue Farms, I had a chance to learn first hand how the chicken farming world works and learned that Perdue Farms,  in addition to taking  animal welfare seriously, is so much more than just chicken. Besides the Perdue Farms we all know and love, they also have other meat brands in their company like Coleman Naturals and Nieman Ranch. Perdue Farms has just launched a new website, PerdueFarms.com,  where you can order your chicken and other meats online and have them delivered right to your door. They sent me the Perdue Farms Gatherings Bundle which is perfect for all the entertaining I do. Since I was in need of a quick and easy appetizer for guests last weekend, I whipped up these Cranberry Brie Chicken Pockets that were just out of this world.
