Christmas was great and all, but 2-week detox round #2 starts today. I completed round #1 in December and was so helpful! Eliminated all inflammatory foods (sugar, fake sugar, alcohol, wheat, caffeine, dairy, peanuts, corn, and other processed foods) and noticed a huge improvement in sleep, digestion, and general puffiness. So after a little cookie break for Christmas 🎄🍪, I’m back at it to reset and break the sugar cycle again. Also, cashiers always ask if I’m feeding monkeys at home. We buy roughly a million bananas. 🍌❤️ Pictured: chocolate berry protein smoothie #newyears #smoothie #detox #sugardetox #reset #simpleliving #simplicity #greencup #campingmug #bananas #bananasmoothie #berrysmoothie #inflammation #twincitiescollective #mplsblogger #lightandminimal #pinterest
Since I was born and raised in Vermont, I’m obsessed with snow and learned to ski/board at a young age. Snow was an embraced part of life. You know the end of A White Christmas where they open up the doors and it’s snowing and completely magical? That was the snow of my childhood. Droopy trees, snow up to my waist. My backyard was magic. ❄️ I love Minnesota, but we don’t get the same kind of snow so I reminisce every year by making these cutout cookies. It’s become a tradition.

On a minimalist note, I only own two cookie cutters; a snowflake and a star and get creative by cutting all other shapes with a knife. Though Paul Hollywood wouldn’t be impressed with the bake, they always taste great and my husband says they should be hung on the wall. 😍 .
