It’s been a little while since my last recipe for my Drink the Rainbow series. If you missed it, the one before (and the first recipe in the series) was the Green Goodness Smoothie. As I have said before, I am SO not good about drinking smoothies or juicing – I prefer solid food. I […]
Chocolate Dipped Cherries
Got Valentine’s Day candy? I have something better! Valentine’s Day is coming up and people are on the lookout for great Valentine’s Day treats to make their special day sweeter. Try stepping away from that sugary processed stuff and make your own treats this year! Sugar is my kryptonite…especially Valentine’s conversation hearts. In fact, the […]
Drink the Rainbow: Green Goodness Smoothie
I mentioned in a previous post that my Mom got me a NutriBullet mini blender for Christmas. Hence, my nutritional world has changed! Maybe not quite, but it is super handy and powerful. The NutriBullet has a 600 watt engine so it makes quick work of hard veggies like carrots. After I got my NutriBullet […]
Berry Healthy Smoothie Bowl {with Protein}
Need a little variety for breakfast (or any time of day)?

This keeps […]

FitSocial Food (& Asian Style Quinoa Salad)
Last week I spent some time in Boulder and Aurora, Colorado, at the FitSocial Conference fitness bloggers conference. Here are some highlights on the food and a recipe created by Chef Paolo Neville! I did take all of the photos with my iPhone, so they are rather small unfortunately. A quick plug for my FitSocial […]
Homemade Concord Grape Juice
It’s that time of year when we harvest our gardens and enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of the spring and summer labor. Unfortunately, I am not much of a gardener (my gardens have never survived my…*ahem*…neglect…), but my Mom has a great garden and she shares garden goodies with us every year. In my Mom’s […]

Collard Wraps with Tahini Basil Ranch
Greens…most of us know we should be getting more of them in our diet, but if you’re anything like me, that can be difficult to figure out sometimes! Cooked greens are a good thing (like Cajun Collard Chips), but eating raw veggies and leafy greens is even better for you since more of the vitamins and […]
