Using the broiler to cook chicken is my favorite trick for perfectly cooked meat that doesn’t get too dry and can be used in a variety of ways. I tend to suck at cooking chicken, plain and simple. This is especially unfortunate because we eat chicken most nights of the week. It’s not the flavor…

Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Make dessert a little bit healthier by whipping up a batch of this rich chocolate pudding made with avocado as its creamy base and natural sweeteners to satisfy your sweet tooth. This recipe is a classic case of healthy food not needing to be flavorless or sad. I’m not going to lie, though, to the…
February Favorites
February has been a really weird month. It’s been pretty uneventful, for the most part, which is why I’m not quite sure where the time has gone. I’ve been flying solo all month because Matt’s been gone for work, so now that he’s home, I’d say it’s time to go on some new adventures and…
DIY Rice Heating Pad
Make a DIY microwaveable heating pad filled with rice to quickly soothe aching muscles or just to keep yourself warm. In my recap of LiveFit Phase 1, I mentioned that I have a talent for straining my neck, especially when I do more upper body weight lifting. Although I’m doing my best to prevent this…

It’s such a crucial part of having a happy, fulfilling life, and it’s an act most of us don’t work at nearly enough. From…
Redefining Running (After IT Band Syndrome)
As of last month, it has been over two years since I developed IT Band Syndrome. Although I still can’t run like I used to (and have doubts that I ever will again), my attitude towards the sport has completely changed. While I know runners recover from the chronic injury every day, I’m not one…
LiveFit Phase 1 Recap
And just like that I’m done with the first 4 weeks of Jamie Eason’s LiveFit Trainer program! I actually got 5 friends to follow it with me (including Matt), so I consider that a major win. 😉 I wasn’t planning to post a lot about this, beyond an intro before I started and a recap…
My Food Philosophy
Everyone has a slightly different view of what’s healthy. From only buying fat-free and sugar-free foods to going on intense diet detoxes, people often follow the current hype about what’s good for them, assuming it to be scientific fact (whether it happens to be or not). Sometimes this involves drastic changes with hopes of quick…
