Hummus recipes to try

Photo by Taryn Elliott Oh man, I used to make hummus all.the.time. I used to make my own almond milk too, but that is beside the point. I stopped making my own hummus when I found Sabra's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and became obsessed. And then like all things, I couldn't eat hummus again for …

Crockpot Chronicles – Chicken Tacos

I made super yummy chicken tacos last night. This was super easy and leftovers are just as tasty as the night before. Looking at the crockpot picture, I realized it'd be great for the winter months by turning it into a chili with the addition of more chicken broth. But in the meantime, the recipe …

Caprese Salad

We have an abundance of home grown heirloom tomatoes, so I've been trying to think of different ways to eat them. We've done salsa, pasta sauce, wraps, etc. But nothing is more refreshing in the summer than a juicey heirloom tomato lightly drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, added to some mozzarella cheese and …

Caught my eye

I had a great break from my 30 day challenge. We went to Savannah for the 4th, enjoyed family time strolling the neighborhood on the golf cart and relaxing at the pool. Several things Caught My Eye and I thought a great way to get back into the groove would be a nice post of …

Update – SWEAT challenge

Oof. Let me tell you, the Sweat Challenge has been going on 3 weeks (yesterday was the start of the 4th week). I was so stoked to start the Pilates program, but I hate it! Starting yesterday, I switched to Fierce at home with Chontel Duncan. The pilates is way to repetitive for me. I …

Eat what they ate

We've all seen those "what I eat in a day" YouTube videos, blog posts, Instagram stories, etc. They are freakin' everywhere, but I'm not really sure what purpose they serve, but I do enjoy watching them. Therefore, I decided I'm going to live a day in the life of a person (culinarily speaking) who posts …

SWEAT Challenge January 10, 2022

I'm moving my normal Tuesday post up a day early because the Sweat Challenge starts today. I've never done it, but I thought I'd give it a try this year. It's a 6 week program hosted by Kayla Itsine's app Sweat. In 2015, I was an avid BBG workout user, and I was probably in …
