Want a snack that’s not only healthy, but tasty and full of nutrition? One that will maybe even help you to whittle your waistline? Introducing…. The protein ball. These bite-size snacks are the perfect way to enjoy something yummy while also packing a whopping nutritional punch. You can use any kind of protein powder for these balls, but I highly recommend giving hemp protein powder [...]
Too often I hear about an "all-or-nothing" mindset, especially during this time of year. It seems to either fall under "I'll wait until January to get things under wraps -- so I'll throw all caution to the wind for now!" or an alternative strict, rigid approach where you feel restricted and unable to enjoy what you want to enjoy during the holiday season. After all, [...]
Can you recall when you last gave your fridge a good deep cleaning? There's something so freeing about a sparkling clean refrigerator. It is like having a clean car interior or sparkling windshield. As you're sifting through your old condiments and leftovers to toss them out, you may be realizing how much waste is going in the trash. We all deal with this, but I've [...]
Take a deep breath outside and enjoy the scents of the new season. Autumn is in the air. Crisp, fresh and filled with new seasonal gifts. Changing colors of the leaves and the pops of color from mums and pansies. One of my very favorite parts of autumn is the bouquet of fragrance in the kitchen that is so special to the season. The warming [...]
I LOVE AVOCADOS!!!! REALLY LOVE AVOCADOS!!!! As someone who has beaten Stage IV Cancer, without traditional protocols, I am very much aware of what I eat. I have this concept of my Must Haves list. It is a foundation of being aware and prepared. My clients begin to embrace this from the beginning of our time together. Some of the side benefits on bringing these [...]
If you're anything like me, a late-night snack can sometimes call me. Often snack foods can be less than healthy and choosing those before you turn in for the night could lead to a habit that creates havoc in our bodies, interrupts sleep and shows up in ways we are often experiencing that can present larger challenges. While I am very intentional in the choices [...]
You know meal-prepping will save you time (and money) in the long-run, but you just can't get yourself to spend any more time in the kitchen than you already do. I completely understand, and it takes time to find the hacks that work best for your unique schedule and lifestyle. The more I speak with women, in groups and one on one, it becomes easy [...]
Oh no, I blew it AGAIN ... I caved and I cheated!!!! I just cannot get this diet thing under control. So often I hear this from people who are feeling like they are on a yo-yo. This self talk breaks my heart. Interestingly, many begin the new year, following holiday festivities, feeling this way about themselves. Not on my watch! There’s nothing better [...]
Connections with others is important on so many levels. Without them we experience loneliness and isolation. Not good for anyone. Summer gatherings with friends and family are a wonderful way to engage and stay connected. A perfect time to disconnect from the fast paced life we lead. Sometimes, before we even realize it, days and / or weeks have flown by. As someone who has [...]
We’re moving into one the most wonderful times of the year, would you agree? While the music plays and festivities begin, so does overwhelm and confusion! There are so many lovely things about the holiday season that I’d have a hard time listing only a few. There are also so many things getting added to our already busy schedule. I’d have to say, though, that universally, we all [...]
