a much needed wellness weekend.

So, this past weekend Mr. Charming and I embarked on a Wellness Retreat.   Read my post here on how to have a Budget Friendly Retreat.  

There were definitely things I'd do different in the future, (this is the first one we've planned on our own) but it was nice to get away.  I share below some of the activities, some photos, and of course, the food.  The yummy, healthy, amazing, food.  

I adored the quality time with my husband, and my friend Kym came by to lounge and swim and do mani-pedi's for girl time while Mr. Charming had to work.  The food was delish, and the grounds were an amazing place to read.  I could have done without the horrible cramps that threatened to ruin my entire weekend, and though I turned off the phone and left the computer at home, I'm going to aim for less TV time and complete removal of phones from the room next time to be 100% tech free.  But all in all, a nice getaway.

We stayed at the Cibola Vista Resort in Peoria, AZ, near Lake Pleasant. The grounds were so pretty.  I adore the expansive lawn and I spent time reading and catching up on books that inspire my writing.  I also love fountains.  So calming and serene.  I thought about doing yoga down here, but it got quite warm out, so I opted to stay in and do yoga in my room. 
This was the view from my rooms balcony.  I left the doors and windows open while doing yoga and enjoying our meals.  The weather was beautiful and we swam and soaked up some sun for natural vitamin D.

And of course, onto the food.  Click each title to be taken to the recipe.  Would love for you to share how you rejuvenate or what you do on your little weekend getaways in the comments section!

And of course I had to plan one decadent dessert.  Completely refined sugar free, this deconstructed apple pie uses Nana's Cookie Bars crumbled to mimic a pie crust for a topping that is heavenly.  Click here or click on the photo for the recipe.

about

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
