I haven’t done a post like this in awhile, but sometimes simple recipes are the best! The other day, my friend, Tyler, and I went to the gym. After a nice workout, we made dinner together- it was so quick & easy, but really tasty & satisfying! I made the broccoli and sweet potato crisps. I sliced the sweet potatoes up thin and roasted them in…
I’m on a mission to clean up my lifestyle and that includes more workouts! Cardio is something that I have a love/hate relationship with. I have pretty bad allergies, so when running outside, it takes me longer than a treadmill workout would. However, the outside is justtt soo prettyyyy (living in Florida helps). ;) I am lucky enough to work for a company that allows the…
My motivation has been found! After a weekend of fun with my younger sister, Jaclyn, visiting, my body put itself on strike. The mix of weekend mimosas, eating out for basically every meal, and not getting sleep, I was feeling awful come Sunday. So, since then, I have made a personal challenge with myself to stop eating out so much, cut back on going out during…
Jason’s Deli saves my life at least once a week. They have the biggest, most amazzzzzing salad bar. When you’re at work and need to run out and pick something up quick, it’s easy to think that a drive thru is the only way to go. With Jason’s they have the freshest food that you can be in and out of the door in 5 minutes- which is…
I had a hard time naming these little bites. My sister calls them “cookies” (nope, texture is completely off), my friend, Tyler, calls them “healthy muffin topish things” (closer but that would be one handful of a name), and my friend Sam’s boyfriend, Brian, called them “really good” (I agree with him the most). So, with minimal help and even less creative-juices in my brain, Power…
Making breakfast that lasts my throughout the work week is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve talked about my love-affair with my bed many times before, so preparing meals beforehand helps a looooot. I absolutely am obsessed with spaghetti squash. I make it at least once every other week- it is so simple and healthy! A cup of spaghetti squash is only 35 calories…
I have a [not so secret] love affair with my bed. When it comes to choosing to sleep an extra 15 minutes or make breakfast in the morning, I, without hesitation, choose my bed & a protein bar every.single.time. This also comes into play when getting ready for my day each morning. I don’t want to just throw my hair up in a ponytail and call…
Grapefruit is pretty much a magic fruit. It’s full of vitamin C, aid in natural weight loss, and even help keep you from getting sick! It’s also one of those fruits where you either love it or hate it. Most people don’t like it because it can be extremely tart- however, if you bake it, it will naturally caramelize and become almost dessert-like! Which is exactly…
