Today was my running-errands day. Picked up clothes from the dry-cleaner, deposited a check, sent out mail and stopped at the grocery store for some exciting Paleo ingredients (yay!). Our Boise Co-Op is amazing. It literally has every single “weird” and unheard-of ingredient. It is my favorite place to shop at by far! I love
Did you know that organic grass-fed beef can help reduce conditions such as asthma and arthritis? Beef contains selenium, which is needed to support antioxidants that reduce various inflammatory conditions. Now isn’t that interesting? Beef is also a great source of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, phosphorous and iron. Let’s take a deeper look at
Pesto. A classic sauce originated in Italy. Did you know it is considered a wholesome food? The basil and the pine nuts are nutrient dense ingredients, the olive oil offers needed healthy fats and the garlic provides compounds with various health benefits. One of my husband’s co-workers (her name is Kelly and she is a
Don’t eat in a rush! It may help you make that next appointment or commitment, but it can cost you in the long run. Researchers at the University of Rhode Island tested this by instructing their participants to eat a large plate of pasta quickly. Those who did, consumed 646 calories in nine minutes! Those
There is this one salsa at our city’s Co-Op that is amazing! It comes in three varieties: mild, medium and hot. I like hot. My husband likes medium. It’s made locally, which I love; got to support my local folks! When you read its label, you get a list of all its ingredients, ingredients you
This is going to be an out-of-this-world experience for your taste buds, so I hope they are ready for this fabulous Paleo Banana Bread Topped With Paleo Nutella recipe! How many of you like Nutella? If you have never heard of it…I am sorry, but you haven’t lived yet. If you don’t like it, then we
I think we all need to know how to make homemade Paleo Nutella. It is a chocolate lover’s necessity. And you can top cakes, breads and fruits with this creamy spread…or…just eat by the spoonful, really. It is decadent, rich, creamy and oh-so satisfying. And the best part? It is very easy to make! Here
I adore coffee! So much so, that I don’t go a single day without it. Sometimes having 4-5 cups a day! Here is a story that will show you how crazy addicted I am to coffee…on my last two years of college I had a coffee ritual I would not dare to break. Sometime during
My friend Monica is getting married this month! I am thrilled! Welcome to the club, my friend! Monica and I met during our college years…in the dorms to be exact. She was my R.A. for a while, which meant I saw Monica ALL the time. Halls, cafeteria, dorm meetings/events, you name it. She was an
Today, we are going to make homemade almond BUTTER this also might be considered a raw almond butter recipe! Are you excited?! I am! It’s such a delicious type of nut butter. I adore it. I spread it on my Paleo waffles/pancakes/bread, fruits and even vegetables (ants on a stick…celery, almond butter, and organic raisins…heaven).
Growing up, I never really was a fan of watermelon. I actually got disappointed when I was given a watermelon slice as a snack before lunch or dinner. I think a big reason for that was because I would way much rather indulge in creamier, richer, and thicker (crunchier) foods. I like to chew things.
Happy Monday everyone! I had a great weekend, despite my stressful Friday morning/afternoon. My husband and I spent lots of time together, which is my favorite thing ever. Spending a lot of time with my all time best friend? Nothing beats that! We spent these last two days going to the gym, working on various
The start of this past Friday was a very interesting one. It started with one of the most stressful mornings I’ve had in awhile. I then had to deal with a “running around like crazy” sort of afternoon. The stress was eased by a much appreciated visit from my friends. However, their presence at the
Coconut. What a delicious little gift from nature. I LOVE coconut. I think it’s because I grew up with fresh coconut. In Ecuador, we could find fresh coconut at any small market, grocery store and fruit stand. Its funny, sometimes coconut seemed to find us. While vacationing at the beach, you could see natives pushing
Following a twelve-week trainer program and having to stick to a strict diet can be very challenging. Eating six to seven times a day is…well…difficult. Not because one has to eat a lot of food (I love to eat…the more the better) or because cooking may seem like a chore (I love cooking, it relaxes
Bison. First time trying it ever. I was a bit intimidated by the name, not gonna lie. We never had bison at our dinner table in Ecuador. I probably never even knew people ate this animal now a days! I was completely familiar with chicken, eggs, pork, beef, and fish…not bison. A couple of months
I just ordered an all Egg White Protein Powder from bodybuilding.com. I’ve ordered a bunch of stuff from their site before (including various types of protein), just never an all Egg White protein powder. It felt like Christmas, yet again, when I received their lovely Bodybuilding.com white box in the mail! I really haven’t heard
Diet. One of the most important aspects of fitness. So important in fact, that even though you might run, spin, lift, and train like a maniac you wont get the results you desire unless your diet is locked in. I speak from personal experience. I used to cycle like crazy; five to six times a
I just started the Live Fit Trainer. This is the fourth trainer I do in a row! In a row! No down time…diet, after diet…gym day after gym day. That’s tough. I must be one strong and determined woman. I mean, OF COURSE I’ve had cheat meals, times where I’ve cried when weight lifting gets painful
I have a couple of “small pleasure” items that make my life more enjoyable. These are things that I could live without – if I had to – but I choose to include them on a daily basis because they make life way sweeter! They bring comfort, smiles, joy, and like holidays, I can look
