So you might be wondering where “Hippy Crap” came from?
One night I made “hippy” fried rice—cauliflower instead of brown rice, coconut aminos, extra veggies—and my husband (a meat-and-potatoes guy) goes, “What hippy crap is this?” 😂
The nickname stuck because that’s exactly what it is: intentional, no-BS swaps to make everyday comfort food healthier without losing the joy or flavor.
Ditch seed oils, cut sugar, load up on garlic and real ingredients—small tweaks that help with inflammation, energy, and feeling stronger in midlife.
No extremes. No guilt. Just small, intentional changes that add up.
Who’s ready to change a little “crap” up in their kitchen and life? 😊
Summer is made for backyard BBQs, family reunions, parties, neighborhood cookouts, and lazy evenings with friends.
