When I was in college, I was obsessed with Naked juices. I’d get Berry Blast constantly, and it’s still my favorite flavor. Recently, though, I had the opportunity to try out Berry Almond Nutmilk, which uses almond milk (if you couldn’t figure that out from the name). I’ve actually been trying to drink more almond…
Water Challenge + A Few of My Favorite Things
So I’ve decided I need to drink more water. I’m not always great with working out consistently, and I’m not the best at eating healthy all the time. But adding more water to my day seems like an easy way to be nice to my body. They say you should drink about eight glasses of…
What I Learned on the Mediterranean Diet
Over the past week, I’ve been, more or less, following a Mediterranean-themed diet as part of a diet experiment I’m doing for cooking inspiration. I finished seven days of Paleo a couple weeks ago, and I just completed the portion of my food adventure that involved eating mostly Mediterranean-esque foods for a week. If you…
Mediterranean Chicken & Veggie Kabobs
As promised on Wednesday in my favorite Mediterranean-inspired dishes, I’m sharing the killer kabob marinade recipe I made earlier this week. Now that we have a grill, I can make way more fun things, such as food on a stick (though I guess you can make it in an oven; it’s just less awesome). I’m…
A Few of My Favorite Mediterranean-Inspired Dishes
I think it’s safe to say Mediterranean is my favorite part of my diet experiment because I’m really enjoying all the fresh ingredients. Plus, it’s a lot of the food I would normally make, just spruced up with lots of produce. Today’s list of favorites includes several of the dishes I’ve been enjoying this week…
Yay for New Glasses! (GlassesShop.com Review)
Disclaimer: I was sent the GlassesShop product for free to review; all opinions are my own. I’ve always been a contact lens wearer, but approximately 1.5 years ago, I had to stop wearing them on a regular basis. Long-story-short, I developed an eye allergy that causes my eyes to get irritated from contacts. So now…
A Few of My Favorite Things
So Matt and I have the same phone (Samsung Galaxy S5), and he’s been really into the S Health app that’s already on there. I used it for the first time yesterday and highly enjoyed it. It’s interesting to see how many steps you walk (working from the couch all day / not carrying your…
What I Learned from the Paleo Diet
Now that the first week of my diet experiment is over, I’m excited to talk about my experience on the Paleo diet! Although one week on a specific diet isn’t exactly enough to show you its potential, I got what I wanted out of it – I tried new recipes that were very different for…
Strawberry Chocolate Protein Shake
As promised on Wednesday, I’m sharing a protein shake recipe that I whipped together earlier this week out of hanger (that also went along with my Paleo diet experiment). This is a stupid easy recipe and can be made Paleo/vegan/whatever if you’re into that. I used an almond coconut milk blend for the base of…
My Favorite Paleo-Inspired Dishes
As I’m entering the fourth day of my Paleo diet experiment, I feel like I’ve gotten the hang of which ingredients to avoid and which to emphasize (candy is Paleo, right?). Even though I plan to share an entire post on my experience next week, here are a few thoughts so far: I must be…
Two-Ingredient Pancakes
Today is the second day of my diet experiment, and while I’ve only been Paleo for 24 hours, I’m over it. Haha. Apparently I don’t know how to eat without bread, tortillas, chips, crackers, etc. Cutting out dairy, like milk and yogurt, was easier than I thought, but giving up grain has made me sad,…
Why I’m Going Paleo, Mediterranean, and Vegan
I’ve never been one to follow a strict diet – my goal is to just eat as healthy as possible while still enjoying the finer things (I’m lookin’ at you, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies). But just because I don’t follow a specific diet plan of sorts doesn’t mean I’m not intrigued by diet trends. I…
A Few of My Favorite Things
I’m in zombie mode today / this week. Matt and I went to a Chicago bar last night with the intention of watching the Cubs game, but it turned into a huge Blackhawks game viewing because…they’re kind of in the playoffs. So due to that (and 3 OT periods, making it the longest game of…
Pan Seared Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels sprouts: the nemesis of children and many adults everywhere. I remember my dad making brussels sprouts once when I was little, and I couldn’t even get myself to try them because I was so convinced they were the worst thing you could ever taste in your life. Thank God that wore off because now…
The Many Looks of Gettin’ My Healthy On
If you’ve read this blog since I started in August of 2012 (so crazy to think about), then you’ve probably noticed the design changes it has gone through. To be honest, I’ve never liked the layout of my blog, so I’ve messed with it several times, diligently trying to learn html code and make a…
