Summertime flavors are so much better than winter time. The berries are out, dill is making it’s way back into my home, and our fridge is stocked with marinated cucumbers and tomatoes! I also have noticed that with the warmer temperatures, I am craving a lot more water lately. Which is great because I have [...]

Diets that Work
I have a very special guest post for you today. It happens to be from my favorite person ever… my husband, Dan. You’ve read all about him in my previous posts and now you get to hear his point of view about living with a vegan. Enjoy it and let me know what you think [...]
First off, I finished a great guest post on the importance of weight training for runners for my friend Katie over at Peace, Love And Oats… You can read it here! If you like it, let her know, show her some love! I love Friday nights! They are almost guaranteed to look something like this: If [...]
Over the course of the 7+ years that I have been with my husband, he has never tried to order a meal or even a coffee for me. In fact, normally he rolls his eyes at me and tells me to “go ahead and order your ‘thing’”. “Thing” because I never order straight off a [...]
I honestly don’t know why I was surprised, but I was. Here I am, sitting in an emergency care center waiting for the doctor to come examine my knee when there was a knock at the door. I assumed it would be the doctor or a nurse, so imagine my surprise when… The assistant walked [...]
Hi, my name is Taylor and I am addicted to sunflower butter. [insert: "Hi Taylor!] Wow, I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest. Seriously, since I have become vegan and given up peanut butter for Lent I have become far to dependent on sunflower butter, so I decided to [...]
I need your help! My husband has given me a little challenge and I want to show him that I can do it! Not only hit his goal, but crush it! I need you help to make it happen though… the goal is to get to 700 Likes on Facebook for the Art of Weight [...]
Happy Thursday! As you know, I LOVE Thursdays. I don’t know why but I always have… just an all around great day of the week! lol. So yesterday I had perhaps my biggest flop in the kitchen. I had this great idea to take a vegetarian recipe I found for veggie quiche and make it [...]
I know, it sounds crazy… how can a girl go from eating over 100 grams of protein a day turn vegan? Well, first off I wouldn’t say that I have officially turned vegan. Here’s my vegan story: Two weeks ago Dan and I watched a great movie, Forks Over Knives. Basically it’s a food documentary [...]
My husband used to be addicted to shredded wheat for years and somehow along the path he became a part of the Malt-o-meal mailing list. I think he tried to win a year’s supply of frosted shredded wheat if I remember correctly. So when he received an email recently announcing a name change to the [...]
Last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday.. AKA: Start of Lent! I had been trying to decide if I wanted to give something up, most years I have but last year I didn’t (which I really don’t have an excuse for). And to be honest I had an internal battle with myself this year. Did I really [...]
I love holidays but I hate how for holidays like Valentine’s day it really is just another day filled with work and normal day events. Which means I won’t walk through the front door until sometime after 9:00pm tomorrow. And that is the reason I don’t plan on doing a thing on the actually holiday. [...]
Super Bowl is apparently the most watched event on television so that means a lot of you are going to be sitting in front of the tube chowing down on finger foods while Tom Brady and Eli Manning fight it out on the field. Though I am not huge fans of either teams I do [...]
Apparently Dr. Oz talked about Matcha not too long ago but since I don’t watch tv I was behind on this. I was reading a magazine a few weeks ago that announced that 1 teaspoon of powdered green tea is equal to drinking 10 cups of normal green tea. At first I was skeptical so [...]
