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….
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…
Coconut Muffin Tops
It’s time that I explain why I LOVE coconut and use it in so many of my recipes. I wasn’t always a coconut lover. In fact I thought it was bad for you! But while studying nutrition I quickly learned that if there’s one thing we could all benefit from eating, it’s coconut [and avocado,…
Coconut Curry Socca Crackers
I can’t believe a month has past since I started working with my running coach. Oh how time flies when you’re not having fun. I kid. Even though there are days where I feel like nothing has improved, deep down I know that I have made huge progress since starting this journey in August. haha…
Apple Pie Millet Breakfast Casserole
I love taking photos of my food but never, never like this. I couldn’t get enough of this breakfast dish that I ended up having for lunch + bedtime snack yesterday. Anyone care to share their tricks on how to get sticky goop off casserole dishes? It’s been soaking since 1pm yesterday. Caution: this recipe…
Carrot Raisin Nut Muffins
My day off yesterday was awesome! Sometimes we all just need a day to lay low and recharge. I didn’t get to take pictures of the cow’s but the farmer said they’d be back out tomorrow so I’ll try again then [they were too far away from the fence!]. One of the activities I was…
