Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE breakfast!! I would eat it at every meal if I could! Some mornings are busier than others, but I never make that an excuse not to eat breakfast. A nutritious breakfast can not only provide you with all day energy, but will jump start your metabolism to burn off [...]
Yes, I am indeed still alive!! Life got a little busy with some new changes to my job and a dramatic loss of a blog post.. Let me update you on where I've been!! I recently was given a new job title!! WOOP WOOP! I was the General Manager of our Nutrishops here in NJ [...]
Recently I received an email from a fellow fitness-minded woman who I befriended on Instagram! She had asked me if I "recommended paleo". She also noted that some people said it was amazing and other claimed it made them gain weight. Let me say this before I get into the discussion: this is based solely [...]
Christian and I grill about 2 times every week. We always prepare our food before hand, meaning we cook a good amount of veggies and protein to keep in our fridge so we can pack healthy meals every day! He's a little more strict than I am since he's a body builder and is in [...]
Work has been SO busy lately! I have all these ideas swirling around in my head that I need to get onto paper (or should I say post)! If you follow me on Instagram (bottom right of this page) you know I kind of kicked coffee to the curb! GASP. I've always loved Tea, but [...]
Nobody likes coffee breath, and if you're like me, you talk to A LOT of people throughout the day. I'm not a HUGE fan of gum, and something about going from hot coffee to icy cold gum hurts my mouth.. maybe that's only me? BUT I have found a simple solution to not only get [...]
My wonderful soon-to-be-sister dropped off some beautiful, fresh squash! Sitting on my counter for probably over a week, I decided I had to do SOMETHING with them before they go bad. I've never cut or cooked with whole squash before so this was new to me. With some research I learned how to properly cut [...]
Christian and I have been alternating who makes dinner on Sundays before we watch Homeland [insert desperate cry for help that the last episode of the season is next week]. Being that he's a chef (Fun Fact: he went to culinary school at Johnson & Whales) I feel a certain amount of pressure to make [...]
I've made these a few times now, and they are delicioussssss! Don't be alarmed when you feel the consistency of this batter; with almond meal, it tends to be super sticky, but have patience! When my niece and I made these the other day she was not so sure about the way the dough looked [...]
People see me today, and they think "she workouts, she eats healthy, it must be so easy for her". But what most people forget, is that everybody has a story, everybody has started somewhere, far from where they are today. This was me. Although not HUGE, I was very UNHEALTHY and bigger than I should [...]
