It’s a new week and a new beginning. Today I kicked off my 9 day nutritional reset and also began my 8-week healthy mind and body program. I am in much need of a reset and some mental healing. As much as I try and motivate you all to live a healthy and positive life,…

Salted Caramel Mixed Nuts
Holy moly I feel like it has been forever since I last posted a recipe! It kind of has, since last week. My only excuse is #life. I have gotten a bit side tracked and off track from my normal routine and it is starting to bite me in the ass. I feel like a…
Bacon and Cranberry Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Dressing
As promised, here is another easy and tasty recipe you can serve to your guests or bring to any Thanksgiving gathering. Not many people are big fans of Brussel sprouts and I don’t understand why because they are so good! My theory is that they just haven’t had them roasted before and if they haven’t…
Honey and Lime Roasted Sweet Potato
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner. The weather here in Wisconsin is still really beautiful and it just doesn’t make it seem like the holiday season yet. But, my kitchen says otherwise. The next couple weeks I am sharing all Thanksgiving inspired recipes in hopes to inspire some of you to have…
Pecan Pumpkin Ice Cream
Happy Halloween! Did you celebrate over the weekend or are you celebrating tonight? Our Halloween celebration consisted of going to the movie Suicide Squad Friday night and then Saturday night we rented Conjuring 2 and made homemade pizza and had Arctic Zero ice cream for dessert! It was absolutely perfect. Stay tuned for Wednesday because I…

Caramel apples are one of those treats that take me back to my childhood. I absolutely loved caramel apples and remember only getting them around Halloween time. I was a no toppings type of kid but now, give me all the toppings! This caramel might not look like the real thing, but it sure taste…
The Everything Quiche
Monday’s. Love em or hate em? I am actually a Monday fan. They are always my most productive days and they set me up for the rest of the week. I’ve even started having “business meetings” with me myself and I! Don’t knock it till you try it. Coming off of a less than productive…
Vanilla Almond Butter Cake Cups
Self doubt is the enemy to any wishful thought, lofty goal or any “someday” thoughts. I don’t set my goals on things that I know I can achieve. I set my goals on things I am going to need to reach for. Do I sometimes doubt myself that my goals might not be achieved. Sure. Do I…
Pumpkin Pie Candied Walnuts
I had such an incredibly inspiring, motivational, rewarding and fun weekend! I was surrounded by people that lift others up and want to see others succeed. I attended a nutritional and leadership summit in Minneapolis over the weekend and my brain is bursting with such powerful information. I of course geeked out (hard!) when listening to…
Pan-Seared Cajun Chicken
I was working on my personal growth this morning, like I try and do daily, and listening to a recording from one of my virtual mentors. He talked about the choices we make and how they are our choices, no one else. Where you are right now, the people that make up your circle, the…
