July Favorites
As July slowly comes to a close, I’m here to share some of the reasons why it’s one of my favorite months of the year! A lot of good things happened within the past 27 days, though I’m sure August will bring some goodness as well. So, for a little sneak peak into what I’ve…
BLT Wedge Salad
Throw this wedge salad together for a super speedy side dish or main entree. Topped with bacon, tomato, feta, and ranch – you can’t go wrong with this BLT-inspired salad! Wedge salads – they’re big chunks of iceberg with toppings thrown on top. I’ve always found this variety of salad to be intriguingly different. While…
Protein Coffee Creamer
Add a protein boost to your morning coffee by stirring in a mixture of your favorite protein powder and bit of milk (or half-and-half). I had an epiphany recently. If I’m always hungry in the morning, why not add protein to the one thing I always have before starting my day? Coffee. That glorious cup…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Roast Brussels sprouts in the oven with a little olive oil and sea salt for a healthy, simple, and surprisingly flavorful side dish to any meal.

I already talked main points in Our Wedding: Part 1, but if you’re anything like me,…
Do Anywhere Workout – 300 or 600 Reps
Happy Friyay!! We survived another week, and I feel like I’ve really earned this weekend. The fact that I had a three-day work week is beside the point. 😉 It may have taken me longer than planned to restart my workout schedule after taking a break (36 days to be exact, not that anyone’s counting),…
Honeydew Sorbet
Try this refreshing honeydew sorbet recipe for a frozen treat that only calls for three natural ingredients. Happy 4th of July!! We have plans to stay in the house with some visiting family for a relaxing yet awesome fiesta. In addition to grilling some ‘merican foods, I wanted to supply a healthy dessert to cool…
7 Tips for Restarting a Workout Schedule After a Break
It happened. I’ve reached the one-month mark of not working out. THE HORROR! Except, this was a conscious decision that I chose every single day. So, really, I only have myself to blame for the disappointment this brings me. Womp womp. Like every other time I’ve taken an extended break from, as Fergie would say,…
