Everyone has always thought that since I love to cook, I must really enjoy meal prepping. False. I do not enjoy spending 3+ hours on my day off to make my lunch for the week. When I do meal prep, I do it for several reasons: 1) To save money, 2) I know exactly what … Continue reading “Eat Well Nashville” Review

Turkey Bolognese with Carrot & Zucchini Noodles
I have not abandoned my blog – it sure seems like I have, but I haven’t! This year has been a wonderful whirlwind so far – traveling (I went to Las Vegas for the first time… Wow, is that town crazy, and also to Southern California) , I’ve been working and freelancing (visual merchandising), plus, … Continue reading Turkey Bolognese with Carrot & Zucchini Noodles
Herbalife Blueberry Muffin Batter Smoothie Bowl
Many summers ago, Cold Stone Creamery had a limited edition ice cream – Blueberry Muffin Batter. It was maybe the best ice cream I’ve ever tried (besides Ben & Jerry’s “The Tonight Dough”). I made a smoothie bowl the other night that tastes PRETTY damn close. It was so good in fact, that I felt … Continue reading Herbalife Blueberry Muffin Batter Smoothie Bowl
Choosing Not to Settle – It’s Worth the Risk
Originally, I wrote this article this past fall, but knew I wanted to add a few bits, and publish it when I felt the time was right. With it being the New Year, this gives us all the chance to start fresh if we choose to do so… This article is addressed to everyone, but … Continue reading Choosing Not to Settle – It’s Worth the Risk
2016: The Year I Found My Internal Happiness
2016 was the year I found my happiness. Blissful happiness. Did I fall in love? No. Did I get my dream job? No (I did get promoted though and I do love my job at the moment).... One specific event did not ignite this spark. This year was not an easy year when you dig … Continue reading 2016: The Year I Found My Internal Happiness
Spicy Strawberry Mint Popsicles
We all need a sweet treat now and then, even those who eat clean and are loyal to their diets. Why not treat yourself and your body with something nutritious? Forget the Ben & Jerry's, forget those sugar-y fruit pops you think are healthy, and make your own! These popsicles are interesting, because they are … Continue reading Spicy Strawberry Mint Popsicles
Piña Colada Smoothie Bowl
Just because I've been lacking on my posting doesn't mean I haven't been slaying it in the kitchen or at the gym (or in mother nature... who says you're limited to working out just at the gym?!). For the past month I've been working out at least 3 times a week (one week I worked … Continue reading Piña Colada Smoothie Bowl
The Best Key Lime Pie Ever
As much as I love making healthy recipes, I LOVE making pies, especially key lime. When I first started making key lime, I researched what an authentic version consisted of, and what not to do. For instance, a real key lime pie is not green! After trying many recipes, I came up with my own … Continue reading The Best Key Lime Pie Ever
Mediterranean Veggie Frittata w/ Grilled Tomato Slices
My dream is to one day have a decently sized vegetable garden AND a chicken coop. I have a spacious, and secluded backyard, so, it wouldn't be hard to allot the space for either. It's the time and energy, I can't allot for unless I have the help of another person. Sigh. One day... In … Continue reading Mediterranean Veggie Frittata w/ Grilled Tomato Slices
Greek Chickpea Pasta Salad with Feta
You know what I love? Summer. I think summer is just buckets of fun because everything about it represents P-A-R-T-Y. The days are longer, and the sun stays up for hours on end. The heat from the sun can be washed away with a simple splash in the pool or water. The warm weather encourages … Continue reading Greek Chickpea Pasta Salad with Feta
Chocolate Protein Smoothie Bowl
I've never had a huge sweet tooth. Given the choice between a bag of chips and a donut, 9 times out of 10 I'll snatch the bag of chips (kettle-cooked Salt & Vinegar, please) out of your hand. I've realized not much fruit has ever been a part of my diet, so now I'm trying … Continue reading Chocolate Protein Smoothie Bowl
Paleo Lamb Burgers
When I started using Herbalife products in January, I stopped eating red meat, for the most part. I ended up ordering a jalapeno burger at Burger Up in February and got extremely sick after eating it (probably due to the grease and the fact my body wasn't used to it), so since then I've barely … Continue reading Paleo Lamb Burgers
Simple Kale Salad with Almonds and Golden Raisins
There is a wonderful cafe' type of restaurant named "The Food Company" across from my old job, that makes a mean kale salad. It's honestly what turned me on to kale. Even though it's only made with a few ingredients, it's delicious, refreshing and a great addition to any sandwich or other entree. After eating … Continue reading Simple Kale Salad with Almonds and Golden Raisins
