Hello!

Hi, I’m Cayla!

I’m so glad you’ve found my little hub of healthy comfort food in the big ole internet. I’ve been sharing recipes since 2010 and I love the happy wellness community we’ve created here!

Expect recipes that are health conscious, full of flavor and easy to pull together. We’re talking short, recognizable grocery lists, cleaner ingredients and recipes typically ready in 30 minutes or less.

  • LET’S VISIT @rambleroomsniderplaza! there’s a shiny new restaurant in town that’s been the talk of the neighborhood and after our first meal there, we can contend Ramble Room is worth the hype! 

Tucked in the bottom of the new office building that hosts Foxtrot in Snider Plaza, Ramble Room feels like Hillstone & Neighborhood Services had a baby. The all American menu features instant classics like their tuna tartare appetizer with bursting mandarin and blood oranges, entree salads (you can never have enough of these imo!), rustic, handmade pastas and a variety of proteins for every palate.

Drinks were good, food was great, service was outstanding and vibes were perfect for 34 year old me — buzzy, not too loud, not too quiet set to a fun throwback playlist. We will absolutely be back soon — I’m coming for that burger next!!

  • ✨reflections as we countdown to our twins’ 1st bday🫶🏼

welp there’s no question that becoming a mother is truly life altering. but maybe not in the way that society tends to highlight!

in my opinion, there’s way too much focus given to the hardships of having a baby (or babies 😉). I remember being pregnant and hearing over and over about…

the discomforts of pregnancy. the pain of childbirth. the disrupted sleep and the changes in schedules and the emotional tolls. 

all of those things are real (!) and shouldn’t be discounted, but to me, becoming a parent is so exponentially greater than any of the “downsides” they almost seem like they didn’t even happen. (trust me tho my husband will be the first to remind me they did lol). 

and maybe the fading memories of the earlier struggles is ultimately just God’s biological way to “clear your cache” and encourage you to procreate more. amnesia is effective, after all 😂

but here’s my truth: children aren’t just a part of you when they’re developing in the womb. they actually leave cells of themselves inside of you, running through your blood long after they’re born. they will always feel like another extension of you, infinitely tethered. when they cry, you don’t just feel empathy for them. you actually feel WITH them. when they feel joy, your joy is multiplied. add in the blessing of two kids at once and the emotions are bountiful.

so if you’re pregnant, thinking about it, or even not thinking about it because you’ve heard it’s tough… let me share that I would have a restless night of sleep for the rest of my life just to see (and feel) my babies’ happiness 😊🥹🥲

  • 6 MONTH MICROBLADING TOUCH UP 💅🏻 @danielabellbeauty! one of my most asked questions is info on my brows - which always makes me beyond happy bc 5 years ago, I had blonde, skinny, barely there brows! we’ve come a long way thanks to the eyebrow (and makeup and hair and fashion) queen @danielabellbeauty! her talented hands have created brows I can wake up to and love 💗 so thankful for her! 

✨MICROBLADING FAQ ✨

does it hurt?
— pain is personal but she numbs you before and during your session! only one of three passes did I really feel and kind of wince at - but it lasts 15-20 seconds total.

is it expensive?
— again, all relative but waking up with near perfect brows is priceless ! I only fill in with my brow pencil when it’s time for me to get my 🍑 in for a touch up 

who does your brows?
— daniela and daniela alone! @danielabellbeauty 💅🏻 she’s in plano but tbh I’d drive  to waco for her and if you know me that’s saying a lot 🤣

can’t recco enough! DM me with any questions 🥰

  • HOW TO ORDER A HEALTHY, FILLING SALAD! look for these five things when ordering a salad you’ll actually get and stay full from:

1. DARK, LEAFY GREENS. darker = more nutrients and leafier = more fiber, which will fill you up! 

2. VARIETY OF VEGGIES. the more textures, flavors and nutrients, the more likely you’ll enjoy the taste of your salad and want to eat more of it 

3. LEAN PROTEIN. leaner meats, cheeses and nuts ensure you’ll stay satiated. just go easy on the cheese 

4. HEALTHY FATS. good fats help your body absorb nutrients and keep you fuller, longer. look for things like avocado, lighter cheeses like feta & mozzarella, and oily nuts like walnuts and pine nuts.

5. ADD CRUNCH. textural add-ins like croutons and tortilla chips don’t add a ton of nutrition but they keep the salad interesting and more likely that you’ll eat enough to stay full.

what’s your favorite entree salad in Dallas? I love so many including the Cazera salad @meserorestaurants picture!
