For Christmas I received this handy gadget: I have been wanting this thing for years… so I was super stoked when I opened it up! Okay, so I am not the biggest pasta eater in the world, so why would I want this? Well, I am not the biggest pasta eater because I don’t [...]

Friday nights are often date nights for Dan and I. Even if we don’t go out I try to make a romantic candlelight dinner and make it special in some way. We have been so busy the past few weeks that neither of us really wanted to go out for date night so I set [...]
Last weekend was the end of my 4-week “adventure” with being vegan. I know you’re just giddy in your chair waiting to find out what’s become of me… right? Ok, maybe not giddy but perhaps curious. So, I was all excited to cook up some chicken and just go to town, but then when it [...]
I’ve been eating vegetarian now for three days and I am actually enjoying it! So far it’s allowed me to test out foods I normally wouldn’t make. I enjoyed grilled mushrooms last night I love but never make (Dan doesn’t like them) and then tonight I made myself a black bean burger… OMG so good! [...]
If I was given a golden card to be able to eat whatever diet I wanted and not have to worry about any negative side affects from my body (no weight gain, cholesterol issues, risk of diabetes, heart disease, etc, etc) what would my diet look like? To be honest a lot of it would [...]
I spent three hours in my kitchen yesterday baking! A client had given me a recipe for black bean chocolate and peanut butter vegan cupcakes (say that 10 times fast) and I wanted to experiment. If you’ve ever read any of my recipes before, then you know that following a recipe is really hard for [...]
I know it sounds completely crazy… to think that grilling meatballs (in maranera sauce no less) is possible on the grill! Dan questioned me as he watched me line a mixing bowl with a huge sheet of aluminum foil and then plop meatballs in it and THEN our sauce over it. I have to tell [...]
I understand that it can be intimidating to “eat clean”… is it going to be impossible to do? Will you feel deprived? No, in fact eating clean is easy and there are plenty of ways to still enjoy your indulgence foods. As diets begin to fail, and you might lose your motivation make it a [...]
Dan and I watch this show pretty often actually, and I am not really sure why. 9 out of 10 times it grosses me out and has me wanting to avoid looking at food. But I always come back for more. We were watching this particular episode just the other day and I couldn’t help [...]
I know you normally here my bash fast food restaurants and the lack of good, healthy options but even I have those rush days where I have to stop and grab a quick bite to eat before I head off to my next training gym. For example on Thursdays I workout at 6:30 am, work [...]
I have been doing really well with my clean eating for the past few weeks so I know I deserved a treat. But I was so upset with the way it turned out! I teach kids gymnastics and yesterday one of the girls had her birthday. Her parents brought in cupcakes for everyone and wouldn’t [...]

Tired of your healthy meals feeling like the same 7 meals each week. Here are some ways to switch it up so your dinners are a bit more exciting but still staying in the realm of eating clean.
Here’s one trick I recently learned… if you’ve been avoiding cream based soup or can’t figure out out [...]
I was driving to work this morning listening to a local radio morning show when they started making fun of KFC’s most recent sandwich creation… the Double Down. At first I thought it was a joke, so as soon as I got to my computer I hopped on trusty Google to find out if this [...]
Yup… me! haha, I am so excited about this! Though I am sure you can tell.
Months ago I contributed a recipe (and I do mean months ago, I am talking last July). Anyways it was chosen to be published in the April/May edition of Oxygen Magazine! Not just that I also have another recipe on [...]
