There are things that happen in life that are hard to understand or hard to see the positives and I am currently fighting that battle right now. Two days ago I was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in my and the other driver’s vehicle being totaled. I was lucky enough to walk away from the…

Single Serve Chocolate Protein Cake
Instead of listening to my ramblings on the blog today I want to send you to my facebook page where I explain why you will NOT get bulky if you pick up a weight in the gym and why your body needs muscle. Click here! On another note, this single serve protein cake really hit…
Special Ingredient Salsa
I realize that not everyone is a veggie freak like me and eats them with every single meal cooked or raw. That’s why I was bound and determined to find a solution for people who can’t stand the thought of broccoli or spinach. I give to you, my special ingredient! This special ingredient of mine…
Vanilla Chia and Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
The other day on the radio there was a trivia question about the most obnoxious photos posted on social media and the top two were couples cuddling and images that showcase or “show off” ones fit body. This actually really peeved me. Why is it obnoxious to see photos of a couple that is obviously…
Blackberry and Coconut Water Dutch Chocolate Smoothie
Pills and powders and capsules OH MY! Let’s face it, nutrition can be hard. Every article you read tells you something different and everyone you talk to is peddling the simple pre-made and portioned food line.

Green Machine Smoothie
I started my paleo journey about three years ago. I wasn’t over weight (bigger and fluffier, yes), I didn’t have food allergy on food allergy and nothing was physically “wrong” with me. I started eating paleo because I was curious. I was working really hard with fitness and my workouts and knew I needed to…
