Healthy Snacking (WFMW)

2012-02-01_HealthySnacking-250px

It’s February… How are those New Years Resolutions coming? Actually, I’m just joking. I didn’t make any resolutions this year. And, I’m a firm believer that you shouldn’t just wait until January to make small changes to your diet, life, or whatever else you feel needs improvement.  Next January is 11 months away! Instead of…

Nope, this isn’t grilled cheese! I know I promised you a grilled cheese recipe this week using the lovely sourdough bread that I shared on Monday. But, there’s been a slight change in plans. Instead, today I’m guest posting over at Bluebonnets & Brownies, and I wouldn’t want to distract you with grilled cheese and…

I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat better lately. No crazy stuff… I’ve just been trying to eat more veggies and a little less of everything else. Moderation. Fortunately, this time of the year, there is such a plethora of fresh produce available that it’s really been quite easy to incorporate more veggies into…

Gazpacho

Last weekend, my husband and I watched the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  How’s that for a Monday morning blog post intro? It’s relevant, though… I promise! You see, we have a few friends who have done the whole “juicing” diet thing. Some have had good results, others have ended up not feeling so…

Healthy Snacks On the Go – LÄRABAR (WFMW)

2011-03-09_LARABAR2

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LÄRABAR for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The next few weeks are going to be a bit crazy for me.  We’ve been meaning to get carpet in the upstairs of our house for a few years, and we’ve finally decided to just go…

With the holidays fast approaching, I thought I’d spread a bit of holiday cheer of my own. I’ll be hosting a few giveaways (and even giving away a few things of my own) throughout November and December. Sound like fun? I thought so!

Whole Wheat Pancake Mix (Ten in 10 – Week 9)

As promised, for today’s Ten in 10 update post, I will be announcing the winner of the FlaxMatters.com giveaway.  But first, I thought I’d share another recipe that uses the milled golden flax that the winner will be receiving! Saturday’s are a great day for a nice homemade breakfast. Most mornings I eat yogurt and…

Chai Spiced Roasted Almonds

I really enjoyed my spicy cocoa roasted almonds a few weeks ago.  They were a great, relatively healthy chocolatey snack… Better than the other chocolate alternatives around the house! So, I stocked up on a bunch of almonds again this week to make another batch of roasted almonds.  This time around, I wasn’t in the…

Ten in 10 – Week 8 Update

Thank you all for the encouraging words last week… I’m gradually get out of my blogging slump, and along with that, I have been making healthier meals!  I’ve managed to get back on track this week and made quite a few healthy meals and snacks. I’ve managed to stay on track with my workouts, too!…

Healthy (Vegan) Chai Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

You may think that pumpkin is only for the fall, but I could eat pumpkin all year long. I made lots of my own pumpkin puree with the fresh pumpkins from our CSA this fall, and stocked up on a few extra cans, too… Just in case! I’ve been on a bit of a quest…
