Happy Friday! Motivation is great to have because it gets us to do things we don’t always want to do and pushes us in the right direction. But, it shouldn’t be relied on. If I only ate healthy or went to the gym when I was motivated to do so, I wouldn’t be in near…

Spiced Apple and Carrot Collagen Juice
If Mother Nature is going to refuse us spring, I will create my own spring. And I am starting with this Spiced Apple and Carrot Collagen Juice! Last year around this time I was soaking up the sun in Punta Cana. This year the only vitamin D I am getting is in pill form. Every…
Korean Beef over Cauliflower Rice
It’s the first week of March and it is -4 degrees outside. This is not okay! Where is the warm spring weather that is supposed to melt all of this dang snow we have? If you live in a warm climate, pray for me to survive the rest of this bizarre Wisconsin winter. I am…
3 Sprint Workouts
Oh how I have a love hate relationship with sprints. They hurt so good! At just about 6 months postpartum I am starting to add sprints back into my weekly workout program. I don’t do any steady state cardio because I much rather do sprints for a bunch of reasons. less time but more effective…
Getting The Most From Your Healthy Fats In The Kitchen
All fats are not created equal. Due to the chemical makeup of healthy fats, not all fats are ideal for cooking. Some fats have lower smoke points which means the temperature where they start smoking, smelling bad and losing their nutrients. Cooking with a fat with a low smoke point at a high temperature can…
Apple and Kale Turkey Sausage Patties
Happy Monday! We yet again got dumped on with snow over the weekend. Wisconsin hasn’t seen this much snow in one month since 1962. Damn. I think we are sitting close to 40 inches of snow in one month. ONE MONTH! I think the kids have had more snow days than school days in the…

But, What Should I Eat?
Last week I shared my insight on why focusing on small details rarely pays off in this Don’t Lose Sight of the Big Picture by Focusing on the Small Details article. There is a lot of confusion of what it means to eat a healthy diet because the media bashes a food one week and…
Sweet Potato and Kale Fritters
How is it Monday already and how is it the middle the February? Before I know it it will be my 30th birthday and I’ll be kissing my 20’s goodbye. That’s a depressing thought on this Monday morning so let’s move on! Fritters are usually deep-fried, but not these! If you follow me on instagram…
Lunch Break WOD
Happy Friday out there! Wisconsin has been real weird the last two weeks. We got something like 23 inches of snow since last week and now the temperatures are deciding to get real cold again. I love snow though because that means snowshoeing, snowboarding, skiing, cross country skiing, tubing and anything else you can think…
