Are you a Saint Patrick’s Day celebrator? Do you drink all the green things and eat all the corned beef? The only green drink getting anywhere near my mouth is this smoothie and I don’t even know what corned beef is. So, it’s safe to say I will not be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this…
Breakfast Pizza Frittata
Fingers crossed spring has sprung and we had the last snow storm of the winter over the weekend! Our dog has cabin fever so bad that he keeps taking himself on walks down the road. Once he learned his boundaries in our yard he has never left it. We could let him out and he’d…
Upper Body Strength and Ladder Workout
Happy Friday! Motivation is great to have because it gets us to do things we don’t always want to do and pushes us in the right direction. But, it shouldn’t be relied on. If I only ate healthy or went to the gym when I was motivated to do so, I wouldn’t be in near…
Spiced Apple and Carrot Collagen Juice
If Mother Nature is going to refuse us spring, I will create my own spring. And I am starting with this Spiced Apple and Carrot Collagen Juice! Last year around this time I was soaking up the sun in Punta Cana. This year the only vitamin D I am getting is in pill form. Every…
Korean Beef over Cauliflower Rice

Some fats have lower smoke points which means the temperature where they start smoking, smelling bad and losing their nutrients. Cooking with a fat with a low smoke point at a high temperature can…
Apple and Kale Turkey Sausage Patties
Happy Monday! We yet again got dumped on with snow over the weekend. Wisconsin hasn’t seen this much snow in one month since 1962. Damn. I think we are sitting close to 40 inches of snow in one month. ONE MONTH! I think the kids have had more snow days than school days in the…

Happy Friday friends! It’s been quite the day so I am going to make this short and sweet! I’ve got a burner for you today. This resistance interval circuit will test your strength, muscle endurance and make you sweat! Most of the movements can be done with a kettlebell OR dumbbell. Your choice! Resistance Interval…
But, What Should I Eat?
Last week I shared my insight on why focusing on small details rarely pays off in this Don’t Lose Sight of the Big Picture by Focusing on the Small Details article. There is a lot of confusion of what it means to eat a healthy diet because the media bashes a food one week and…
