Simple Whole30 Approved Zucchini Beef Enchiladas

January 14, 2022 by the thoughtful spoon

January Whole30 is well underway and this time around I felt more prepared and ready than ever! In part, because this is my 4th time participating in this program, but more so because there are so many great Whole30 endorsed products on the market now. I was first introduced to Siete Foods through one of my favorite food bloggers, TheDefinedDish. I love their cassava flour tortillas and their grain-free tortilla chips are unreal. So you could imagine my pure delight when I found their taco seasoning and enchilada sauce in WholeFoods AND they both had the Whole30 stamp of approval! Pre-packaged taco seasoning is one of those foods, that surprisingly has a lot of hidden ingredients. When I did my first Whole30 and started ...

My Recent Etsy Home Finds

November 2, 2021 by the thoughtful spoon

As we've been renovating our little house, one of our first focuses was to upgrade our decor. When looking for unique pieces I always head to Etsy. Not only does it feel good to support small, independent sellers but I love finding items you can't find anywhere else! A few of my most recent favorite purchases include: This custom name block for Aveline's nursery - we went with the walnut and it's the perfect addition to her styled shelvingThis gorgeous orthopedic bed for Summit. Not only is it machine washable, but we loved the idea of having a more elevated look vs your classic dog bedWe loved these mirrors so much we actually bought two! One for our guest bath and the other for Aveline's roomThese unique planters. I'd never seen ...

8 Unique Finds to Give Your Bathroom a Modern Update

November 1, 2021 by the thoughtful spoon

Almost 6 months ago we bought a little house in PA and have been hard at work with renovations. While we're not quite ready to reveal all the updates we've made - I can give you a sneak peak into some of the decor elements we've been utilizing to give this place a modern lift! To start let's focus on the bathrooms! We have two full baths, one in our master bedroom and the other a shared guest/ Aveline space off the main hallway. We're still sorting out the changes we want to make in the master, but in the guest bath, we've updated using white shiplap (a major overhaul) and a mix of more rustic and modern pieces as shared below! We can't wait to share all our hard work but hope this sneak peak provides you, with a little inspiration! ...

How to Spring Clean Your Diet

March 31, 2021 by the thoughtful spoon

Photo by Alison Marras on Unsplash Spring has officially sprung and it's time to reset and start fresh! It's the time of year where you can open the windows, let in some fresh air and get organized! They say the most successful way to tackle spring cleaning is to focus on one area at a time and I find it's the same methodology when cleaning up your diet! To start, focus in on each meal. What are your go-to's for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and any in-betweens? What are you drinking throughout the day? How often do you eat out? What's currently in your pantry or refrigerator? How can you make healthier swaps or eliminate processed foods all together? Eating clean may seem overwhelming, but it's actually really easy once you get in the ...

Summit Turns 4: Throwing a Birthday Party for Your Dog

March 23, 2021 by the thoughtful spoon

This post includes affiliate links to brands and products that I believe in and love. To read our full disclosure policy, please click here. Everyone told us that once our daughter was born, Summit would fade into the background and become just 'a dog'. Tim and I refused to let this become true and have been trying to make a concerted effort this past year to avoid just that. While life is looking a little different for all of us these days, there are still aspects of Summit's Brooklyn routine that we've been keeping alive. We still take him to the dog park (even though we now have a backyard) and we're sure to bring him on runs or outings whenever we can. We still make him homemade, organic treats and Aveline LOVES sharing all her ...
