🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste 🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste! Freeze them instead! 😉

Have you ever tried freezing fresh apple slices?! This is one of my favorite fall kitchen hacks, especially after a trip to the apple orchard! 🍏

Every fall, I come home with WAY more apples than we could possibly eat before they go bad 😂 So instead of letting them sit on the counter, I prep and freeze a big batch of apple slices to use all season long!

It takes a little extra time upfront, but having fresh apple slices ready in the freezer makes fall baking SO much easier. 🥧 You can grab exactly what you need whenever you’re craving apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple bread, or any of your favorite cozy apple recipes!

Plus, it’s such an easy way to preserve those delicious fresh-picked apples from the orchard and enjoy them long after apple season is over. 🙌🏻🍎

Want to know how to freeze fresh apples the right way so they’re ready for all your fall baking?!

Comment “APPLES” below and I’ll send you my full step-by-step guide! 🍎❄️

And tell me, what’s the FIRST apple recipe you’d make with them?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

And since this is basically my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee, I want it to feel just as festive as the rest of our home!

Of course, the cats also think the pumpkins are here specifically for them to knock over. 😹 Apparently they have VERY strong opinions about my fall porch decor.

Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… BUT YOUR SUMMER FLOWERS DIDN’T GET THE MEMO 😂

I’ve been working on my fall front porch this weekend, and I’m loving how it’s coming together so far! 

It’s still SO warm here in North Carolina, which means all of my summer flowers and plants are still going strong. So instead of my usual neutral fall porch decor, we’re going a little more colorful this year and I think it looks so pretty! 🍂🌸

I added a new pumpkin doormat for a little fall refresh, but everything else is fall decor I’ve reused from years past. Proof that you definitely don’t need to buy all new decorations every season to give your porch a fresh look! 🙌🏻

And can we talk about FAUX MUMS?! I bought these last year, and it may have been one of my best fall decorating decisions because I can pull them out year after year and they still look perfect. Which is especially helpful considering I somehow manage to kill the real mums every single fall. 💀🤣

I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’d say my colorful fall porch is off to a pretty good start! 🎃

Are you team REAL MUMS 🌼 or team FAUX MUMS because you can’t keep them alive either?! 😂

POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Clean Eatz Meal Plan Review

For a couple of months now, my husband and I have been using the Clean Eatz meal plan and I’ve got to say, we are completely obsessed! Not only do they offer a ton of healthy options, but the convenience factor is what really sold us as well! This is perfect for those who have a busy lifestyle and don’t have a lot of time to meal prep.

I figured I would share our complete Clean Eatz meal plan review with you all today. That way you can see what it is all about too and decide whether or not it is right for you as well. 

Honestly, I don’t see how you couldn’t love Clean Eatz and I am here to tell you just why! Keep on reading to see all the amazing benefits to this meal plan service! 

Clean Eatz Salad

What Is Clean Eatz?

You may first of all be wondering what is Clean Eatz? Especially if you never heard of them before. I wasn’t too sure how it worked either when I first went to their store. Basically, Clean Eatz is a restaurant chain, but they do offer meal planning services for you as well. 

They always have a super friendly staff there to help you navigate the store too. Their in store cafe is usually open 5-6 days a week, with Sunday being just a meal prep pick up day only. But, if you choose to do the meal delivery service, you need to order online ahead of time before picking it up. I will explain more on that later. 

Clean Eatz Cafe Asheville North Carolina

In the store, they have a ton of healthy food to offer. Not only does the current menu in the cafe change often, but they do offer many snacks a la carte too. And let me tell you, you’ve gotta try their peanut butter buckeyes! They come in white chocolate and dark chocolate, but the white chocolate ones are my favorite!

Clean Eatz Peanut Butter Buckeyes
Here’s where they keep our beloved peanut butter buckeyes and tasty fudge!

And, their chex mix snacks and fudge options are so tasty and yummy too. We love having these snacks on hand because they help us stick to our healthy diet, and still satisfy our sweet tooth too.

The chex mix snacks are perfect by the pool or beach too! We brought them along with us to our Isle of Palms trip. And I felt better snacking on these instead of a bag of chips, knowing the ingredients were all clean and good for me!

How Do I Order Clean Eatz Meal Preps?

The process of ordering Clean Eatz meals is actually quite simple. I was kinda intimidated at first because I didn’t know how to go about it. But, I am here to walk you through it and show you just how easy it is!

Example of Clean Eatz Menu
Example of a Clean Eatz weekly meal prep menu.

First, go on their website and place your order between Tuesday-Sunday. You have the option to go ahead and pay online or just pay when you pick up your meals in the store. You will see all the different meals listed out as well as the nutritional value for each one too. They also offer pizzas and salads for an additional cost, if you want to add that to your meal plan for the week as well. And let me tell you, the cauliflower pizzas are absolutely delicious! 

Example of Clean Eatz Add Ons

Then, pick up your meals between Sunday-Monday (or whenever your local cafe is open for pickup. Be sure to check the hours as every store is different. My store is located in Asheville, North Carolina and these are their specific pick up times.)

Finally, be sure to eat your meals by Friday, or place additional meals you have in the freezer for up to six months.

Clean Eatz FAQs

I figured I would also share a FAQ below with some of the most common questions I get about the Clean Eatz meal plan. And, if you don’t see your question below, please ask me in the comment section or email me, I’d be happy to further assist you too!

Clean Eatz Meal Plan Prices

Are Clean Eatz Meals Frozen?

​As I mentioned above, you do have the option of going in store to pick up some frozen Clean Eatz meals as well. You don’t have to just do the meal prep services. Also, you can have the meal prep meals delivered to you if you do not have a Clean Eatz store nearby. If that is the case, those meals will come to your door frozen.

Clean Eatz Meal Plan Order for the Week

​How Long Does Clean Eatz Last? 

If you pick up the meal preps, it is recommended to enjoy those fresh within five days. After that, you can freeze them! So no worries if you don’t get to eat all the ones you purchased for the following week! Just pop them in the freezer, since they are already in a freezer safe container, and they will last for an additional six months!

How Can I Heat Up My Clean Eatz Meals?

All you need to do is pop a corner of your container and throw it in the microwave for 2 minutes! If it isn’t warm enough for you, just continue to heat in 30 second intervals, checking in between.

Obviously, if you get one of their salads, no need to heat it up! Just be sure to eat it within 3 days of picking your meal preps up to retain freshness.

Surf and Turf Meal

Be sure to let the meal sit for a minute or two to cool before enjoying. If you are heating a frozen meal up, no need to thaw beforehand. Just pop it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes instead.

You can also heat meals up in an oven, skillet, or an air fryer. Be sure to remove the meal and place it in an oven safe container if you are using that method.

Air Fryer Instructions
Air Fryer Clean Eatz Meal

And, to heat up cauliflower crust pizzas, preheat oven to 400 degrees and place pizza in the oven for 7-9 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

Has Anyone Lost Weight With Clean Eatz?

Personally speaking, my husband and I have seen some weight loss with Clean Eatz! We were trying to do more healthy eating before we left for the beach this year, and the Clean Eatz meal plan definitely helped us loose a few pounds before our trip! 

Can You Still Order Clean Eatz Meals With Dietary Restrictions?

If you need special requests to your meals such as, low carb or extra protein, they will definitely do that for you! You just have to select the special request option on the page after choosing your meals and quantities. That way you can choose which meals have a better balance of protein for you. And, if you have any other dietary restrictions, they do have a special page where they offer Custom Meal Plans. So be sure to check that out as well! 

Clean Eatz Meal Prep Review

Why Should You Order Clean Eatz?

If all of the reasons above doesn’t convince you to try out Clean Eatz, I don’t know what will! These healthy meals have been such a game changer for us, and I feel so much better when I eat clean and nutritious like this. 

And Clean Eatz offers such an easy and convenient way to do so! I love how their menu changes every week by their personal chef, that way you don’t feel like you are eating the same thing over and over. I know in the past when we have tried to diet or eat healthy, we easily get stuck in the rut of eating the same thing over and over. 

But, with Clean Eatz meal plan, you can get a variety of nutritious meals to help you reach your specific goals easily and effectively! And by doing this, we have saved a ton of money from going to the grocery store to just ordering Clean Eatz instead. 

I highly recommend that y’all try them out and please let me know if you have any other questions! I’d be happy to help you out!

    This sounds like such a great idea; meal prep in this way could definitely save a lot of time and effort (which I know is a big plus for many). I like the idea of them being microwavable or popped in the air fryer as at this time of year I try to avoid using the oven as it’s just too hot! Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been working on my fall front porch this weekend, and I’m loving how it’s coming together so far! 

It’s still SO warm here in North Carolina, which means all of my summer flowers and plants are still going strong. So instead of my usual neutral fall porch decor, we’re going a little more colorful this year and I think it looks so pretty! 🍂🌸

I added a new pumpkin doormat for a little fall refresh, but everything else is fall decor I’ve reused from years past. Proof that you definitely don’t need to buy all new decorations every season to give your porch a fresh look! 🙌🏻

And can we talk about FAUX MUMS?! I bought these last year, and it may have been one of my best fall decorating decisions because I can pull them out year after year and they still look perfect. Which is especially helpful considering I somehow manage to kill the real mums every single fall. 💀🤣

I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’d say my colorful fall porch is off to a pretty good start! 🎃

Are you team REAL MUMS 🌼 or team FAUX MUMS because you can’t keep them alive either?! 😂

POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

So take this as your sign to make a Halloween boo basket for your cat this year! It’s such a fun way to spoil your feline friend and get them in the spooky spirit. 🎃🧡

Would your cat love a boo basket or absolutely HATE the costumes? 😂
