Journey To Health: 6 Years To Find Myself
My birthday is coming up in exactly 40 days, not like I’m counting or anything. I’m turning the big 25 [it’s big to me] and I couldn’t be more excited, scared, mortified, or anxious. Since I was little, I’ve treated my birthday as others treat the New Year. I set goals for the upcoming year,…
4 Ingredient Itty Bitty Strawberry Coconut Tarts
I’m constantly wracking my brain over what treats I can make that Kevin will actually like. He’s a simple guy. No dried fruit, no bananas, and definitely no lentils or crazy spices! Meat is good, MEAT is even better, and chocolate? Well, that’s a definite win. But I wanted to do something different this time….
Coconut Curry + Miso Gravy Luscious Bowls
Two of my many cleanse goals are to… Eliminate my evening grazing and prepare myself a proper dinner. I’ve been having fun coming home and creating dinners for myself. Instead of approaching it as a chore, I allow myself to get creative, take my time, and marvel in the silence that is my kitchen. It’s…
Cinnamon Raisin Flatbread
Yesterday was a really, really good day. It started off with a Sleepy Berry Fiberlicious Smoothie – there’s nothing like waking up and not having to measure my smoothie ingredients. Then I got to catch up on some work blog reading before heading to my Monday morning spin class. Yesterday’s class was time trials aka…
Candy Apple Macaroons + Sugar Reduced Journey
We had some very mixed feelings about carob yesterday. I had no idea that people could hate carob, but now I know! As many of you mentioned, the best way to welcome change is to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it, that you will do it, and that whatever comes as a…
Sweet Potato Carob Rice Pudding
My mind was going a mile a minute yesterday. There’s lots of change, opportunity, and set backs brewing in our life right now. Although change can be scary at times, it brings with it new opportunities, lessons, and chances for us to amaze ourselves. Many of the things that are happening are very exciting, I…
Black Bean and Ginger Pasta Fry + Spring Cleanse Plan
Yesterday was great. Kevin and I made pasta and watched movies all night long. Back to the grind today. I’m just about to head to the gym for 1hr swim + 40min spin + 6k run + 20min core work + a lot of snacking in between. There’s nothing better than snacking at the gym….
Bulk Barn <3
Gosh yesterday was fun. A couple of ladies from work and I headed to the new Bulk Barn during our lunch hour. I couldn’t wait to get there. So we walk in and there’s candy to the left, baking goods in the back, gluten free to the right and so many baking supplies tacked to…
Goldilocks Scones
Happy Thursday everybody! What do you have planned today? On my to do list this morning: shoveling the driveway. Am I going to do it? Nah… I’m in denial over the snow we’ve been graciously given, so I think I’ll just ignore it and head to the gym instead. It’s great to hear that all…
Raw Cashew Lemon Drops + Cleansing
Spring has sprung! [says the girl with 6 inches of snow on her front lawn] The birds are chirping, the cows are mooing, and our bodies are saying “please, please cleanse me!” We’ve been hibernating in our houses, eating earthy vegetables, and surrounding our organs with extra TLC [it’s perfectly normal and expected to gain…
