Finding Joy in the Journey
Ready for something great? We were looking for something a little different and ended with this: Turkey Barbecue Wontons with a Greek Yogurt Relish! They were great, the flavors balanced out well and I was able to hide some veggies in the mix. Give them a try on your own! Turkey Barbecue Wontons with... Continue Reading →
I'm always up for trying something new, especially when it comes to power foods that help fuel my family the right way. So, when I was given the opportunity to review Manitoba Harvest's Hemp Hearts, I was pretty excited. Packed with 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of Omegas per serving, these raw...

We've had a lot going on lately. You know from previous posts that a lot of my focus has shifted from working out to getting through and figuring things out. We have become a forward-focused family. From planning for a move into an uncertain new life (which has MANY ups as well as downs!) to... Continue Reading →
I've been there, sometimes I'm still there...so I'm assuming you've been there too. We set goals. Whether they're based on frustration with how things are, things we'd like to accomplish, what everyone else is doing or has going for them or something we've seen somewhere else, we set goals.

You know what... Continue Reading →
This weekend I was given the opportunity to work with a friend. She was looking for ways to enhance her standard cardio routine and to try something a little out of the ordinary. I did some research and found Chris Powell's "Fatal 40" routine. Granted, this isn't for someone just starting out...so, I modified it... Continue Reading →
As a Mom of two busy little ones, a runner and the wife of a runner, I understand life on the go. I also understand that to fuel that life, the right products make all the difference. When it comes to water bottles and food storage systems, I had - until now - a hard... Continue Reading →
I love avocados, full of healthy fats, they're a great addition to any meal. But, my husband? Not so much. The creamy texture weirds him out, but, he likes the taste. So, last night I set out to find a way to combine the healthiness of the avocado with some crisp (no breadcrumbs needed!). End... Continue Reading →
It's funny. I know that as far as life goes, we have very little say in the way things work out. We decide our own path and choose our own journey, but outcomes are very rarely in our control. This is why fitness appeals to me so much. We choose our own fitness journeys and... Continue Reading →
