Our mornings are generally pretty chaotic, so most of the time breakfast for me is either (a)a smoothie or frozen waffles in the car on my commute, or (b) yogurt or oatmeal at work once I’m settled at my desk. But I’m not gonna lie. It can get pretty boring. Which is why I’m always […]
Friday Favorites {8.21.15}
Happy Friday, friends! Who else is as excited for the weekend as I am? We’re surprising the kiddos with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge tomorrow (sshhhh!) — our first time there! (Recap and review to come, of course.) And then I am taking the beginning of next week off to give Buddy a bit […]
Just Add Cooking Review + Giveaway
Remember when I said I had TWO giveaways for you this week? This one is a little different, but just as fantastic … and also with a Mother’s Day focus. Oh, and it involves food. I have been such a slacker with my meal planning lately. First I was following the 21 Day Fix (stay […]
This Week’s Meal and Workout Plan {Week of 3.23.15}

Frozen Goodness: Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt Pearls
I am one of those people who craves something sweet after dinner — a cookie, a piece of candy, you name it. I’m sure the craving is part mental and part physical (and maybe a slight sugar addiction). Normally, I’m active enough that having a little dessert isn’t that big of a deal. Unfortunately, this […]
YUM! Plant-Based Protein Smoothies With #GNCPlantProtein
People are always amazed when I tell them I’ve been a vegetarian for 25 years. Once they do the math and realize I was a tween when I went veg, they usually assume I have a dramatic story or an idealistic, save-the-animals sort of reason for eschewing meat at such a young age, and I […]
