Helping you be the best you yet

Asian Bean Slaw

I find that I get the most creative in the kitchen when I have the least amount of food in my fridge, which is exactly the case right now at my house and how I came up with Asian Bean Slaw! I still haven't gone to the grocery store (my normal Sunday routine). I've been so tired lately from going non-stop and passing out on the couch then getting up in the middle of the night to head to bed. I HATE when I do that, because it really does disrupt your sleep cycle and makes you feel so much more ... continue reading...

Weekend Races

Good Morning! It's Monday, it's rainy, it's cold... what will you do with today? You may be able to guess where I'm going with this by now, but honestly everyday is what you make it.

Don’t say the “D” WORD: Diet!

Eliminate the D word from your vocabulary! What word were YOU thinking? I was talking about the word "DIET"! ;) DIETING makes us think of depriving ourselves and eating rabbit food or food with no flavor. Let's make a LIFESTYLE change with our eating patterns and just make healthier choices instead of saying we're on that ugly "D" word. You can have everything in moderation. I noticed I was being too strict with my eating this week when I was craving EVERYTHING. I realized I was not eating ... continue reading...
