NEW! Green Olive Tapenade + Valentine's Date

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

Happy Valentines Day, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]! ❤️

My husband and I have a Valentine's Day tradition that we've been doing since we were 20-years old, in college and I was renting a one-bedroom apartment in Long Beach, CA.

Let's see if you can guess it...

  • We go on a sunset hike together 🥾
  • We watch 10 Things I Hate About You 🍿
  • We have a Taco Bell date 🌮

​

If you guessed the last one, you're right. We've kept this tradition going for 20 years now. Some years we dress up for it, but most of the time we go in casual mode. There's never a wait, foods always quick and we ever spend more than $20.

If you're wondering what I order, this is what I get: Spicy Potato Taco w/ black beans and jalapenos + Veggie Mexican Pizza w/ side of lettuce (I like to put the lettuce on top of my pizza to add some extra crunch).

Do you have any fun traditions in your family like this?

NEW! Green Olive Tapenade

You need to try the Best Green Olive Tapenade— it's a quick appetizer that looks quite fancy. It's salty, herby and oh, so, delicious on a crostini. I love a good crunch! What's not to love?!

Vegan Mexican Pizza (Taco Bell Copycat)

It's got all the flavors you want with refried beans, tomatoes, green onions and olives — you'll feel just like you're eating fast food!

Immune Boosting Smoothie

This immune boosting smoothie recipe employs the natural power of black elderberries, which have nearly double the anthocyanins as other berries.

Caramel Apple Dip

This date caramel tastes just like the caramel dip from your childhood yet is refined sugar-free and dairy-free!

Peanut Butter Fudge

I had Ryan, the kids and a few friends recipe test with me to make the BEST no-bake vegan fudge recipe.

It means a TON when you leave a review or rating on a recipe. Let me know if you try one of these recipes this week... and have an amazing Valentine's Day!

RAWKSTAR SHOP • ALL RECIPES • MEAL PLANNER Happy monday, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]! I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the warm weather blessing most of the US. I went on a 12-mile trail run in Quartz Mountain State Park with some running buddies. It was so beautiful outside... I couldn't stop smiling! I have a 3-day trail running stage race in Moab, Utah coming up in 10 days. I'm really glad this weekend run happened and I felt great. I think that means I'm ready for Moab!!!...

Do you trust your gut, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]? It's that "feeling" you get out of the blue— like when my mom sensed the moment her dad died (and they were 2,660 miles apart). Yet it can also be that slightly uncomfortable feeling you get after eating a meal. 🤢 Our gut microbiome impacts the immune system, mental health + overall well being— and considered our "second brain." When our gut is healthy, we thrive. Healthy gut: gastrointestinal tract has a good balance of gut bacteria...

Not sure if I've shared my journey with you, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]. It's a good one. Let's talk about how a stay-at-home pastor's wife on WIC grocery aid with two toddlers (who loved Taco Bell, Good & Plenty's and Lucky Charms) bought a laptop and a reconditioned Vitamix and started blogging about green smoothies, jackfruit tacos and homemade almond milk. Let's go back to 2010... Jackson was two years old and constantly sick. He had boogers galore, ear infections every other week...
