This weekend I participated in my very first yoga triathlon! It was amazing, challenging, hard and energizing all at the same time.

Now you might be wondering just what a yoga exercise triathlon is; mine was a yoga exercises sculpt course, a three mile run and then a vinyasa flow course. We didn’t compete against each other, but rather participated within the tri as a community of individuals who like fitness and yoga exercise. The entire eventRead more

Almond meal banana muffins!!! Yes, we’ll reach the formula, but 1st, hi and how was your weekend? Here in Chicago it was a lovely 60 degrees (in February!).

Listed below are three explanations why:

1. The team you were rooting for may have lost, a clear reason to place in bed all day. 2. You’re in a food coma because you don’t care about sports activities and ate all the bread dip in the party rather (me)! Unwanted fat naps are needed. 3. No one wants Mondays anyway. IRead more

I’ve learned a thing or two lately. Always take the road much less traveled. Always join an adventure. Always appreciate what you have. And constantly state yes to donuts!

Valentine’s day be next month but I’ve recently been thinking about falling in love with my entire life yet again. This consists of activities and stuff I’ve never done before.

I went to Investor Joe’s yesterday around 4pm and literally nearly went insane. First of all, never go to Trader Joe’s between your hours of 3-5:30pm. Trust me guys, your car will most likely end up being hit by reddish shopping carts (happened to me), children will run into with mini shopping carts, you’ll be blinded by way of a sea of Hawaiian t shirts and it’ll take you an excellent hour and a half to get a total of 10 stuff.

HOWEVER what you would find at Trader Joe’s this time around of year is basically everything you could ever need for all of your fall dishes. I mean discuss pumpkin overload! That they had pumpkin cornbread blend, pumpkin risotto, pumpkin bagels, pumpkin crackers, pumpkin butter and most likely a million other activities I didn’t capture.Read more

I have to admit something and composing it here makes it official: I really haven’t been eating healthy lately. The whole month of travel actually caught me off safeguard. Usually I’m fairly cautious and pretty diligent about producing healthy food choices but I’ve had my fair talk about of sweetness this month.

Exercise sensible, things are great. I make sure to work or do at home workouts whilst travelling and when home I walkRead more

How was your weekend? Mine was filled with cooking food! My roommate and I produced arugula salads with fresh fruit vinaigrette, poultry stir fry, and spent hours making chile verde and the best apple crisp in the world. Our bellies had been happy.

After all of that cooking, I needed to bring you something simple: a green chile sauce that goes on top of nearly everything! I’m also a huge lover of how easy this formula is. All you have to do is usually roast chiles (or it is possible to used canned), place a couple of ingredientsRead more

Last night I asked Tony what his preferred cake was and he responded with I don’t know.

Ummmm excuse me? How will you not know what your favorite cake is? For me cake all depends within the occasion. For instance, on birthdays I favor a wealthy, moist chocolate cake firmly for the chocolate buttercream. For everything else, I choose carrot cake. Carrot cake is like the Jennifer Aniston of cakes. Under noRead more

Quinoa pizza crust? Yep, it’s a thing. And I have to give Tony credit because he totally came up with the idea.

Sometimes we have little brainstorm classes while we walk to obtain our morning espresso. I told him that I wanted to accomplish something fun and different with quinoa (which he pronounces kin-oh-ah) and asked for a few suggestions. He asked, Can you actually make a quinoa pizza?” I used Ancient Harvest Organic Quinoa Flour ,Read more
