I have a list of potential recipes to make for the blog that is about a mile long either containing apples or pumpkin. I don’t think I will be getting to them all this…

Crockpot Turkey Chili and Flexible Dieting vs Clean Eating
Flexible dieting and cleaning eating “diets” are being talked about everywhere and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. They are talked about in a way that you can only stick with one of them at a time. If you are a flexible dieter you most certainly aren’t a clean eater. If you are a…
Almond Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
Is it really Monday already? Why must weekends just fly by, WHY?! Saturday was a girls day spent driving the country side from winery to winery to brewery. It was wonderful. Over the last 6 months or so, I don’t indulge in alcoholic beverages like I used to. I don’t really have a specific reason…
Special Ingredient Salsa
I realize that not everyone is a veggie freak like me and eats them with every single meal cooked or raw. That’s why I was bound and determined to find a solution for people who can’t stand the thought of broccoli or spinach. I give to you, my special ingredient! This special ingredient of mine…

Fiesta Lime Shrimp and Zucchini Bowls
Is it really Wednesday already? Time has just been flying by this summer and soon all the kidos will be back in school. This is the time of summer where families are taking their final vacations before getting back into their school year routines. Vacation shouldn’t be used as an excuse to get off track…
Salted Caramel Mug Cake
For the last 8-12 weeks or since my first body building competition in May my focus in the gym has been heavy weight training to add as much muscle to my frame as possible. I like weight training and lifting heavy but the monotonous movements and schedule gets tough on me after so long. This got…
Dijon Mustard and Thyme Marinade Grilled Chicken
Another obstacle race is in the books! Over the weekend I participated in a small town 5K obstacle course and it once again solidified my passion for fitness, health and obstacle racing. I was never one to enjoy running, still hate it. However, get me on a trail in the woods and I can just…
