Last week I had been walking home from my normal morning hours workout and suddenly smelled an mind-boggling bagel aroma in the air flow.

My goodness, have you ever had that happen to you? It’s truly a breakfast calling like no other and therefore made my abdomen rumble for another 20 minutes. Through the entire remaining day, I held thinking about bagels and couldn’t stop. Actually, I couldn’t also recall the final time I put a bagel. Claim WHAT?!Read more

Today I’ve a few things to log off my upper body. Maybe it’s me silently creating a discussion with myself right here but whatever the case, I just need a place to reflect.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my profession, passion, and future goals. Overall I feel pretty accomplished to be 25. I’m satisfied… but unsatisfied. Will that make feeling? Yes, I really like my blog and I enjoy my full-time job, but something is certainly missing. I’ve felt this for a few months. Perhaps it isRead more

Lettuce wraps in Dec? What’s going on with that?

They happen to be really incredible and despite my efforts to make use of Turkey Day time leftovers, it didn’t happen. After my struggle with the flu, I didn’t need anything heavy. I understand your body requires a break from that comfort and ease food too! Lettuce wraps with sassy sauce and delicious toppings mightRead more

A lightened up coconut oatmeal healthy banana breads with a few chocolate chips – you don’t have to feel guilty enjoying a cut or two!

You guyssssssss. I have made so many banana breads during the last few days. Occasionally I wish I could stop baking but when I have the urge to, I just can’t prevent. I believe I’m an addict. HELLLLLPPPPPP. Due to my baking urges, I’m often up late at night; unfortunately I don’t get the chanceRead more

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 what a yoga exercise triathlon is; mine was a yoga sculpt class, a three mile run and then a vinyasa movement course. We didn’t compete keenly against one another, but instead participated in the tri like a community of individuals who like fitness and yoga. The complete event lasted aboutRead more

I’m heading to Boston in a few days for any 5 day vacation. I actually cannot wait! I’ll be visiting my good friends from Australia; we’ve kept in close contact over time and try to visit once in awhile.

Boston has great climate this time around of year, too! I’m excited to look at some restaurants and explore a little so definitely i want to know if you have any suggestions! I actually also have a fresh obsession to talk about: Banana bread breakfast cookies. Normally I would state regular cookies, but since theseRead more

Lately I’ve been pretty much deeply in love with dipping cookies in chocolate. Or possibly just chocolate in general.

Did you men see this formula over on Cup of Jo last week? I had been so excited to donate to her delicious chocolate series because I knew just what I was going to bake up. I mean what could possibly be better than extremely soft and chewy peanut butter cookies dunked in delicious chocolateRead more

How do you feel about polenta? Perhaps you have ever tried it? Otherwise, here’s your opportunity for a fabulous launch!

Honestly, I didn’t start loving polenta until probably around four years ago. My college-aged self was never exposed to the delightfulness of the taste or texture. It’s a shame really, but since my breakthrough I’ve relished in polenta based dishes. These days you can come across polenta in restaurants or in the millions of formulasRead more

Guys, it was terrible. After all truly awful.

That year proved to be among toughest years I had fashioned ever experienced. I was finally alone simply by myself, in an unknown town grieving my father’s passing, and needed convenience in any form. THEREFORE I ate! I ate because I didn’t wish to think or feel. I ate because meals was the only thingRead more

Remember when I mentioned which i was going to try be a little bit healthier when it found food choices? Well I’ve been pretty dedicated… up to now anyway. Eating better and experiencing more refined sugars sweets made out of wholesome ingredients provides made me experience incredible, lighter and perhaps a little bit leaner. Isn’t it funny how even the smallest changes in your meal choices could make a BIG difference? I think so.

Food wise I am really into taking in beans, quinoa, eggs, asparagus, almond butter and homemade granola. I also can’t obtain enough berries in my life, particularly raspberries with a little chocolates before bed. I melt a square or two of dark chocolate over the range top then sprinkle sea salt into the melty goodness.Read more
