In a Jiffy Bean Salad
Until a couple of years ago, I thought salt, was salt. Table salt, sea salt, it’s all the same and it’s all bad for you. Right? Wrong! Did you know there are actually therapeutic benefits to certain salts? Or that if taken correctly, salt can actually be good for your health? I know, you’re thinking…
Homemade Mini Studio
For the past couple of days, you’ve heard me talk about the mini studio we’ve been busy making. It all began when I read Ashley’s post about creating a homemade light box. How cool? I knew though, that I would feel limited with the space in the box – I like to move around a…
Crispy Coated Apple Fries
I am big on homemade fries with coconut oil. There was a period in my life, not so long ago, where all I’d eat for dinner were fries. Don’t get me wrong, potatoes are an amazing vegetable. They’re high in vitamin C, fiber, their easy on the digestive system, and high in vitamin b6 [great…
Irresistible Chocolate Truffle Cookies
I was going to begin today’s post by saying “I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day”, but I’d be lying. Although I say that I don’t celebrate, or care, year after year I find myself running to a craft store on February 13th getting supplies for a homemade present for Kevin. I just…
Hit the Spot Chicken Marinara Melt
Our homemade mini studio isn’t quite ready. We’ve decided to add one more layer of paint before setting things up. Dun, dun, duh… I’m so excited to use it, and show all of you what we’ve made! I’m hoping that by the weekend everything will be ready and rearing to go, and I can spend…

Also – I’ve finally posted my training schedule from August to present and new marathon preparation schedule. You can read about my…
No Fuss Jambalaya Bake
We come home to a warm dinner every night. We spend 5 minutes putting our lunches together every morning. We rarely ever have the same meal two days in a row. How do we do it? Freezable Casserole Sundays I began cooking 2 casserole style meals on the weekends about a year ago. After they’re…
Apple Pie Muffin Clusters
Guess what I received in the mail last night? It was made out to Kevin, so it caused a bit of a ruckus when it first arrived. I let Kevin open it knowing darn well of what was inside. He looked disappointed and slowly lifted the object out of it’s box. “A NEW COOKBOOK!” I…
Green and Clean Pesto Lentil Patties
I must have spring on the brain. Everything I’ve eaten today is green. Breakfast #1: Green Monster Breakfast #2: Added hemp powder to my cereal Snack: Cucumbers and leftover cilantro pesto Lunch: Green and Clean Pesto Lentil Patties on a ginormous spinach salad Snack: Kale salad with pumpkin seeds… One of my friends growing up…
Strawberry Cream Kasha
I’m in shock when the women from my spin class tell me that they don’t eat something before coming to the class. After 5 minutes on a bike; if I haven’t eaten anything, I’m falling off of it. Without breakfast I get light headed, sleepy, impatient, confused [deer in headlights look – one day I’ll…
