Post Workout Creamsicles
Do you ever get a waft of a familiar smell and get sent right back to the moment you were introduced to that scent for the first time? If you haven’t, please don’t think I’m weird. I swear that there are people in the world whose memories are triggered by scent. And I just happen…
Impromptu Dinner Party
I wasn’t comfortable having people over for dinner before starting the blog. I always thought the meal would end up burnt, undercooked, or just plain bad tasting. But like they say, practice makes perfect. While I might not be perfect, I am definitely a lot more confident. Plus, it doesn’t hurt having a blog filled…
Oil free Protein Cookies
Our day of disconnecting was absolutely awesome. I managed to read through Tosca’s entire cookbook, placing post-it tabs on the recipes I want to make first – there are over 50 colorful tabs jutting out of the book now. I made endless batches of healthy doughnuts. They didn’t taste perfect and they didn’t look perfect…
Vanilla Almond Flax Butter
Oh do I have a treat for you today! A lip smacking, spread over anything, hide from your spouse because it’s just that darn good kinda treat. It’s loaded with fiber, omega-3s, helps to reduce inflammation, balance your cardiovascular system AND will keep you looking younger longer with it’s high phytonutrient and antioxidant content. You…
Sleepy Basil Lime Mango Smoothies
Generally I wake up starving, but when it’s this hot all I want to do is lay under a fan, spraying myself with water every couple of seconds. … don’t judge… I have done this before and it’s absolutely refreshing. But there was none of that this morning, no, no. I peeled myself out of…
15 Minute Salmon Cakes with Fresh Tartar Sauce
Enjoying a cooling dinner after a long day in the sunshine is pure bliss. Having a fear of heights while climbing a wall is the exact opposite. Kind of a deal breaker, actually. Although I did get higher with each climb, set goals and pushed my personal limit, I think it’s fair to say that…
Where it Vegan: Gazpacho
I recently had my parents over for dinner while Kevin was traveling a couple weeks ago. It’s nice to have the house to myself every once in awhile, but after a couple of weeks I tend to get a bit lonely! When my parents called me on a Monday night to ask what I was…
Refuel with Homemade Electrolyte Drinks
Do you remember the first time you drank Gatorade? I do! I was at a track and field meet. After the race, my coach passed me a bottle of Gatorade and told me to drink it to avoid feeling sick. The neon color should have been enough to raise a red flag, but I drank…
Healthified Supreme Chunky Monkey Ice Cream
For those of you who guessed chunky monkey ice cream, you were bang on! Although you did cheat and look at the title of the picture. Fail on my part for not editing that. It was early and I was consumed by chocolate chunks and walnuts. Can you blame me for being sucked in by…
Grilled Fennel Dippers
You have 60 minutes before a group of your closest friends show up for a dinner party and you forgot to make an appetizer. What do you do? a) Run around the house like a chicken with your head cut off [an expression my mom always used… and lived constantly]. b) Head out to the…
