Sesame Socca Crackers + Creamy Tahini Salad
Holy moly! It’s March already, can you believe it? Let’s kick it off with some awesome eats. I rarely enjoy raw veggies during the winter [its too darn cold!], but today is an exception. Some days a girl just needs her raw veg. And other days, she needs hemp. Lot’s of hemp. Lucky for me,…
Banana Drunk Macaroons
Is it Monday already? Bah! My rest day was fantastic yesterday! But I’m really not ready to go back to the gym or work today. I hadn’t realized it while planning this weeks’ posts, but there is an ongoing theme for many of the recipes this week. fiber + healthy and happy digestion I just…
Overnight Banana Almond Pudding
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and support on yesterdays post. It’s comforting to know that there are other people out there that go through the same life challenges. When I’m having a low moment I like to think that someone, somewhere is dealing with the same feelings. I guess it’s my way…
Food for thought: Know yourself to love yourself
Money was tight while I was growing up. To make ends meet, my parents worked long hours and had many commitments that pulled them in one-hundred different directions. Hard work, endless to do lists, and constant busyness was the theme of my childhood. Don’t get me wrong, my parents were fantastic and did the best…

No Bake Granola Cakes
Big changes are happening over on my workouts page and even bigger changes are happening with my marathon training plans. February has been a challenge for me, I was losing muscle, motivation, and forgetting why I began running in the first place. My passion was slowly exiting. A couple days ago I decided I needed…
Zucchini Apple Breakfast Cake with Cashew Glaze
Do you ever just wake up on a Sunday morning and want to bake to your little hearts content? As a kid, my mom would bake something absolutely delicious every Sunday morning breakfast. She’d make things like cinnamon buns, breakfast cakes [like this one], croissants and ham, or a wife saver [which I didn’t like…

Snack Attack!!!
I am a self professed snacker. There’s always a pile of coconut bars in my car, a couple of fruit bars in the desk drawer of my office, and a couple of mini bags of nut butters in my purse. A girl can never be too prepared. As long as you’re going for products that…
Smooth and Flavorful Sautéed Veggie Hummus
Many lessons have been learned over the past couple days. Taking pictures of food before you’ve tried it can lead to disappointment. You can never make too many brownies. Unless of course you’re going on your 4th run at it in 3 days. I never want to see chocolate again, is that bad? And my…
