  1. I had the most WONDERFUL weekend at home for the holiday.  we did ALL the fall things: apple picking, art festival, the jack-o-lantern spectacular.  I probably ate WAY too many apple dumplings. 
  2. I've NEVER been more excited to eat salads for lunch [and most likely dinner] while traveling this week – see above.
  3. this perfectly summed up today.  perfectly.
  4. i'm super into plaid/flannel right now.  is that the basic/fall-loving quality in me?  probably.  i embrace it.  just like my love of cargo boots, starbucks lattes, and denim shirts.  yes.
  5. in case you need a hilariously funny buzzfeed show to binge on.  thanks britttttt xoxo
  6. youuuuuu have a wonderfully fall recipe coming your way tomorrow – that MIGHT involve apples i picked this weekend… maybe.
  7. TV. OH GEEZE. | scandal | bum bum BUMMMM. oy.  can we just talk about how liv called Jake the SECOND she was away from Fitz.  i'm just saying i'll always love those two.  also what does this mean for the firm?  WHEN will we get back to normal freaking cases.  did they run out of plot ideas or something??  | HTGAWM | i still LOVE LOVE LOVE this freaking show.  like love it.  a lot.  it's still my 100% favorite and i have absolutely no clue what's happening. | scream queens | do you guys love or hate this?  i borderline love it.  i love how quirky and weird it is.  its totally bringing me back to Scary Movie | secrets and lies | no this one's not back on TV yet, but i did my research (it comes back in 2016) – and it will be a WHOLE NEW STORYLINE??? apparently, that story was played to completion…. but we didn't get to see what ended up happening… i don't get it.
  8. THIS DOG. I WANT THIS DOG AND THIS LIFE AND I WANT IT NOW.  i followed and stalked the instagram and the Facebook… oops.  #doggoals
  9. central park was beautiful today.  probably because one of my best friends is beautiful and visiting and we frolicked together and sat on benches and rocks and looked cool.  thats definitely why.

exactly how i make my bone broth

bone broth - homemade!-5

is this even a real recipe?  probably not.  it might not even be the “right” way to do this… i might be wasting a post on this… wahhh. but i think its really important and i'm telling you EXACTLY how i do it!

have you heard about bone broth?  it's all the rage right now, but i guess i don't even really know the difference between bone broth and you know… chicken broth?  i think they're the same thing.  maybe?  as in i'm assuming you can swap this homemade version anywhere you use the store bought stuff (or at least i do!).

  1. WE GOT NEW IPHONESSSS.  (and they're SO pretty – i got rose gold and am OBSESSED).  I also think it's HILARIOUS that they're calling it bros' gold.  HAHAHA.
  2. this is actually my life.
  3. so i feel like i saw a hocus pocus drinking game at one point. does anyone know where to find it because the 13 days of halloween lineup has hocus pocus in there QUITE a bit and i'm not mad about it.  at all.
  4.  I'm going home this thursday and i'm SO excited about it.  I'm doing ALL the fall things and it sounds so glorious and like exactly what i'm looking for.  It's been so cold outside lately and i just can't take it.  i wanna bundle up with my sweater blanket (which i'm doing right now) and watch fall tv (which i'm about to do) and burn a macintosh apple candle (excuse me one sec while I get up to do that – okay we're good) ALL SEASON LONG.  but seriously, i just got back from frankie's soccer game and i'm fairly sure they played in an ice box.  hockey anyone?
  5. if you haven't commented on this post to tell me what book you'd like to win out of the four i'm giving away, what are you waiting for???
  6.  so lately i've been wedding obsessed.  as in, planning an enchanted garden backyard wedding in a secret SECRET pin board (i already had a secret board that i shared with my friends for wedding stuff).  HALP MEEEE.  
  7.  hoookay. TV. um | HTGAWM | is still holding its spot as my FAVORITE of the fall tv shows.  i love all of it.  and i'm so freaking confused about the ending.  | scream queens | i think this show is SO WEIRD… but also strangely funny?  i can't figure it out at all.  but I'm slightly okay with that…  |Scandal | it was nice to be back to a normal case for once.  it actually made me like the show for an episode.
  8.  #16 is my dream kitchen. + accents from 26 & 12 
  9.  I know this post is like ALL linked up, but there were so many things to share – so here have an easy guide to going paleo… because i think it's relevant.  and totally not foreshadowing to my reintroduction post.  (but really, its not.)
  10. YES.

hiiiiiiiiii. HOW ARE YOU.  What's up?  how's your day?  I'm still reeling from a pretty awful dairy reintro day (which we'll talk about next week!).  but I'm surviving knowing that hopefully tomorrow will be better… it has to get better right?

SO. I've had a ton a of you asking questions about the whole30 or telling me that you want to do one now, and I'm sure there are many more of you lurking out there with questions that you're too shy to ask.  WELL GUESS WHAT.  I'm anticipating them.  (or trying to, so if I miss something that you're interested in then hit me up down in the comments!  I'll get back to you I swear)

I'm putting together what I'm calling my whole30 survival kit.  A collection of tips & tricks and things I wish I had known before or figured out early on in my whole30.  Let's get into the nitty gritty! (oh and yes, there's a giveaway… a pretty sweet one… scroll to the bottom!) Read More
