The Sweaty Breakdown: Friday: 30 minutes of elliptical plus planks and plank-to-downward-dog switches – then…Thanksgiving Dinner Part 2! Eek! Saturday: 10 min bike, 10 min treadmill, 10 min bike – all in succession, keeping my heart rate varied and my muscles guessing! Which was really nice since it was a road trip day…again Sunday: used the treatdmill for my 5 min warm up and cool down … [Read more...]
Comfort in a Cup: Cinnamon Vanilla Latte
In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s cold outside. Really cold. Too cold for me. And it’s not even winter yet. Yes, I’m whining. So what? But, when the weather gets cold, my drinks get hot. I LOVE hot drinks. I guzzle hot tea all day long, often switching flavors two or three times. I enjoy coffee in the mornings, and on my days off, I love having a latte for a treat in the afternoon … [Read more...]
Nutty Bread (grain free)
Is there anything more comforting than a piece of toast with butter and jam? All warm, fragrant, toasty... Maybe just a few things are better (snuggly puppies, hot cocoa by a fire, the perfect bowl of oatmeal...diamonds...cough cough)... But I seriously find comfort in a good piece of toast. Now, whether you prefer to top yours with butter, coconut oil, a nut butter, jam, or an oozy egg, … [Read more...]
Cinnamon Spice Candied Nuts
So, you’re staring at your plate. It’s mounded high with stuff you rarely would eat on any other occasion. You take a deep, steady breath in, take another bite, force yourself to swallow…you really can’t take much more… But wait, there’s still pie… Sound familiar? I swore this wouldn’t happen this year. Yup, like everybody else. And I promise, I was in my victory lap! I was … [Read more...]
Fabulously Fit Friday 9
The holidays are here! I'm so excited! This was one of those busy weeks that flew by and I seemed to spend the majority of it in the car. Between traveling to St. Louis for the weekend then traveling to Northwest Arkansas for the rest of the week for Thanksgiving, I'm worn out! BUT I am very proud of myself. I was extremely restrained and didn't make myself sick by binging on Turkey and … [Read more...]

Peppermint Bark Popcorn
It’s almost Christmas, and I’m sure you can’t help getting in the spirit because all of the stores are blaring Christmas music. Although it’s practically criminal to totally disregard Thanksgiving like that (how dare they?) it’s really contagious. Ut oh! I’ve got Christmas fever! White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha at Starbucks?

Cinnamon Pecan Caramel Apples
Caramel apples are a big favorite in my family. My mom requests them every fall and I oblige if I have the Caramel Apple Wrapsavailable. The Wraps are seriously the easiest thing to use ever. It makes you look like a pro caramel apple maker! Yes, I wish that was my profession. You can certainly use your favorite melted caramel to cover the apples, but I won’t ever feel the need to make that … [Read more...]
Baked “Blueberry Muffin” Oatmeal
I don’t think there is anything more comforting than a bowl of oatmeal. Call me crazy. But what’s even better than that is baked oatmeal. It gets all fluffy and has a crispy top, like a muffin. But its WAY healthier than a muffin! What I’ve found is if you bake oat bran (my favorite obsession ever since the lovely Caroline did a guest post for me!), it makes even more of a muffin! Holy … [Read more...]
Maple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
First things first. I was given a new brand of contacts and can actually get them in. Stop laughing at me! I know you were. Second, I made friends! I think. On Saturday night the mister and I were invited to his coworker’s house to socialize, eat, and have fun. Upon being invited, I immediately thought I had to make them cookies. But not just any cookies. These cookies. Something seasonal and … [Read more...]
