I promise I haven’t forgotten about you all!! I actually wrote this post last week, went to publish it, and my entire browser just closed on me. Thus, losing the post, as well as my patience. ;) This past week, my mom flew from London to Georgia for a work conference. Since I’m so close now that I am in Florida, I drove up to meet…
Tacos are by far my favorite foods. I love Mexican food, and finding different ways to play around with the taco’s fillings, is really fun! This past morning, I made turkey sausage & veggie egg scramble tacos for Dj and I. They were super filling, low in calorie, low in fat, and full of protein! You Need: 4 Large Eggs *2 Low-Fat Turkey Sausage Links *6…
I love snacking. I snack all throughout the day. The key to snacking is keeping it healthy! Throughout this week, I have tried to keep track of a few of my favorite snacks to give others ideas of how to snack smart! What I eat when dinner isn’t for another 2 hours: Celery is great because you can top it with so many different toppings to…
I’m a big lover of spaghetti squash. I’m actually a huge lover of all vegetables.

Simply click on the recipe name to bring…
First of all, I want to thank Taralynn for showcasing me in her new blog! Taralynn is a big inspiration to me, so I was glowing for days! :) This past week was consumed of packing, driving, more packing, coffee, more driving, unpacking, caffeine overloads, and seeing about 7 states in a matter of 16 hours. However, I have officially made it to Jacksonville, Florida!! My…
After a month of chaos, I am embracing this sudden down time. Within this past 3 ½ weeks, I’ve graduated from college, visited family abroad in London, surprised my dad out in California for his 50th birthday, made a quick stop in Philadelphia to celebrate Dj’s birthday, & then made the drive back to Morgantown! It’s been a whirl wind of activity but a ton of…
Having all my friends over to eat and catch up is one of my favorite evenings. Tacos are an easy crowd pleaser, so now that everyone is back in town after the holidays, I invited some of my friends over for a healthy, tasty taco night! I hadn’t made crockpot shredded chicken before, but this recipe is a keeper for sure! Dj and his best friend,…
