Hi guys- hope all of your weeks are going well so far! For you guys that read my post on being present, have you discovered any shifts in your mindset and/or being in the moment a bit more? Cutting back on...

Now that Halloween is passed, my brain is firmly planted on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all the goodness the holidays bring. The word that comes to mind when I think about Thanksgiving is...

It's still quite a few weeks out from the holidays, but I can definitely already feel the start of the hustle bustle of them. Time speeds up, but the days get...

The amount of times that I say out loud how I wish I had two bodies or two pairs of hands is a bit obnoxious. I have become the queen of multitasking and can easily type with one hand on my laptop while scrolling through my Twitter feed on my phone, while talking to my friend.

While that skill is something I would have boasted about back in college, I now actually despise my tendency to do this and the fact that I do this far more frequently than I would like. 

Happy Monday! How was everyone's weekends? Man, my kitchen was put to USE this weekend. I was in a bit of a cooking slump for the past few weeks. I was being monotonous and eating the same old boring things every day, without much inspiration to try new stuff. Then a...

The world of fitness among professionals is unfortunately still a lot like the cafeteria cliques that Mean Girls describes. But instead of the varsity jocks, burnouts, cool Asians and Asian nerds, we have personal trainers, group fitness instructors, pilates instructors, and...

Lord knows I love me some brussel sprouts. I've never met a brussel sprout dish that I didn't clean house on. While dressed up brussel sprouts can be downright...

I love doing these roundups of all my random finds to share them with you guys. While I don't have traditional subscriptions to any particular media outlet, I essentially use my...

A few months ago, I started writing a version of this article. Then it started getting really intense (started using way too many expletives) and I left it be for awhile to sort out my thoughts. But then this Renee Zellweger thing blew...

This is my ultimate lazy-girl veggie side dish. All of veggie roasting essentially is, but this one also cooks faster and is a crowd pleaser whenever...

That's a mouthful, isn't it? It is currantly (yep, I went there again) the ends currant season and while I've eaten them raw before, I've never baked with them. I think currants are one of those fruits that...

Ah Friday is finally here! Something has been in the air this week, and everyone I know is either sick or on the brink of getting sick. Yikes. It's been one of those weeks where I...

I've had a couple readers and friends ask me recently where or from whom I learned to cook. Truth is, I just learned as I stumbled along. I am the oddest self-made cook. My culinary-loving friends all look...

It's no surprise that chilly weather brings cravings for warm and hearty foods. Sadly, most of those warm and hearty foods we crave usually tend to be...

The final installment of the build-a-booty series is here! Forgive me, I just had to use that original 80's buns of steel reference before the series ended. If you've missed the previous ones, check out part 1, part 2, and part 3! It's been a booty-full month...

It happens to the best of us. Midnight cookie craving attack. I have a general rule of thumb about sweet cravings- if I want something and the feeling won't...

Happy Friday everyone! It's now been eight weeks since I joined the blogging world and man, it has been quite the ride so far. Growing up, I moved around a lot so it was...

The amount of times I've written the word "booty" in the past 3 weeks is rather alarming. It's even creeping into my spoken vocabulary a bit too casually in my coaching; this came apparent when...
