  • COLLAGEN HOLIDAY LOAF RECIPE

    December 12, 2017 / 0 Comments

    COLLAGEN HOLIDAY LOAF RECIPE This classic loaf recipe is taken to new heights with this healthy, collagen-infused version. It’s sure to keep you warm all winter long! If you haven’t tried Vital Proteins’ new delicious Collagen Creamers, you need to. These diverse creamers can be incorporated into any recipe your heart desires, so naturally, a holiday loaf needed to be created. Gingerbread cookies and loaves are a time-honored tradition for many cultures, including here in America, where the soft-baked loaves are more popular than the stiff variety used to make gingerbread houses. Ginger root was considered by many ancient civilizations as a valuable commodity, as it helped disguise the flavor…

  • Back To School

    August 28, 2017 / 0 Comments

    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…

  • Avocado Egg Toast

    May 5, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Image credit: Skinny Taste =)   Okay, I am so in love with avocado toast!! It’s a great balanced breakfast with healthy fats, and lots of protein. What do you like to eat for breakfast? Don’t skip breakfast! I do recommend intermittent fasting. Meaning if your last meal is at 6:30 pm your next meal would be 6:30 AM. I will write a whole blog on this going into detail on the benefits of intermittent fasting. While eating any breakfast is better than skipping breakfast altogether, some choices are better than others. Carbohydrate-only breakfasts, such as bagels and cereal, can give energy for one to two hours, while complete breakfasts…
