• Egg Salad

    EGG SALAD I have to say I  love egg salad. I’ve been on a mission to find a way to make a healthy version.  I made this recipe a couple days ago and its so good! And to be honest, there really isn’t anything super special about this recipe. It’s just egg salad, but that’s what makes it perfect? To increase the protein in this recipe I added full-fat Greek yogurt to the egg salad. I like to get, at the very least, 25 g of protein at every meal. So adding in a little extra never hurt anyone. This egg salad will keep you full when you eat with…

  • Back To School

    Back to School!   Well, it that time of year again. Kids are headed back to SCHOOL! Or the “S” Word according to my kids. Do you dread it or celebrate them going back to school? I have mixed feelings each year. I don’t like that I don’t get to be with them all day but on the other hand, I get the opportunity to focus a bit more on my fitness and property management business.  I think the older they get the easier it gets to send them back to school. This year my kids are going into the 5th and 8th grade. Where does the time go? Seems like…

  • Working Out With Kids

    Here’s the thing: Working out with kids can be challenging. If you’ve got kids, small ones especially, you know exactly what I mean. “Your Kids are a reason to workout!

  • Charcoal Lemonade Recipe

    Activated Charcoal Lemonade with Collagen Recipe Our take on the activated charcoal lemonade with collagen recipe craze looks much cooler than the sludge-colored detox drinks everyone seems to be sipping lately. We froze our activated charcoal into ice cubes, creating a stark contrast when served in bright lemonade. When the ice starts to melt, it creates a cool-looking swirling effect as the charcoal mixes with the drink. To give it an extra boost, we mixed in Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate powder. Collagen helps keep joints flexible and skin supple but because it decreases with age, it’s important to replenish with collagen-rich foods or supplements. This powder from Great Lakes…
