I think I have a pregnancy hangover today. Baby girl and I had a long, exhausting, but very rewarding weekend! This past weekend was the 10th Annual Eau Claire Marathon and my second year of being involved in The Blugold Mile cheering section. For those of you that don’t know, I work full time at…
Appetizers
Greek Yogurt Caramel Apple Dip
Happiest of Monday’s to you! How are you feeling today with yesterday being daylight savings? I love daylight savings for the fact it is lighter so much later now, but I was really enjoying the daylight earlier in the day and now that is gone for a bit again. My body still hasn’t fully adjusted…
Pineapple Guacamole
Pineapple in guacamole? Yep, you read that right! It has been in frigid temperatures the last couple weeks so I needed to brighten things up with a little taste of summer. The pineapple gives this guacamole the perfect citrus flavor and is really good with fresh vegetables, tortilla chips or as a topping to any…
Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup
We are just about a week away from the tastiest holidays of the year, Thanksgiving! It is a day centered around food and indulgences but why not make those indulgences just a little bit better for you? I’m all for letting loose at times and feel Thanksgiving is a good day for it. But, I…
Cinnamon French Toast Pumpkin Seeds
I have a confession, it has been years since I carved a pumpkin. Probably since my sophomore year of college. I never had the patience and I don’t have a single artistic bone in my body. I really wanted to make homemade pumpkin seeds, though so I asked my husband if he wanted to carve…
Chipotle Meatballs
The day has finally come! I launched my new website! This project has been a long time coming and I am so excited to finally show you guys! I will just apologize now for all of the explanation points in the post. I put a lot of time and effort into this website and I…
Sweet Potato Pizza Bites
This week’s focus is mindset. I like to set a focus for the week and work on it each day of the week to eventually turn it into a habit. A positive mindset will lead to positive outcomes so why not try to conquer this train of thought ASAP. All circumstances, good or bad, in our lives…
Mango Salsa
Oh, happy Monday! I am one who actually really likes Mondays. It’s the day you get to set the intention for the rest of the week. It’s the day to get back on track if you fell off over the weekend, it’s the day to plan the other days of the week to conquer them….
Summer Watermelon Fruit Salad
Comparison can be an evil thing. I do it, I hear others doing it. Why must we compare our chapter 10 to someone else’s chapter 20? There isn’t anything more detrimental to personal goals than comparing yourself to other people’s successes. Everyone is different. Everyone has different goals, motivations, failures, successes. The journey you are on should be…
Roasted Artichokes
I am gearing up for an incredibly busy next two weeks both work and personally and to say my head is spinning is an understatement. To help with the stress and feelings of being overwhelmed I will have my calendar and to-do list glued to my hand. Whenever I know I will be busy or I…
