I recently held a cooking and nutrition seminar with a support group of amazing ladies who are either currently in cancer treatment or are in recovery. To say it was inspiring just doesn’t do justice. These women were warriors! I am a firm believer that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and have…

Low-Carb Cauli Fried “Rice”
It’s of course that time of year, where we are all struggling to keep from breaking those new years resolutions, hoping to lose a few more lbs and shred that winter weight. I am a firm believer in watching carbs, primarily I say carbs and refer to wheat and grains. Over the course…
Can’t Beet This Salad! It’s Too Good To Beet-true!
Happy Monday Gang! I’m still truckin on this fitness journey and six-week #fasterwaytofatloss boot-camp. This morning began day one of week two in this carb cycling, intermittent fasting, HIIT training (still not sure what that means but ok?), heavy lifting, speed burst training, and insulin manipulation cycle…thanks to the fitness gem and mastermind @amandatress. “HELP…
Summer Steamed…
Here’s my truth: sometimes I just overthink dinner, therefore making it stressful, making it a job and taking the joy out of cooking. In reality, dinner doesn’t have to be complicated; it can be as simple as steamed mussels in a gorgeous white wine broth served with a side of crusty bread and a block…
Spring Time = Salad Time
Who is ready for spring? I think it’s safe to say, we have had our fair share of snow and cold weather this year in the bluegrass, and enough is enough! Spring is one of the most beautiful times of year in Kentucky. With horse racing season and the trees and flowers all in bloom….
A Snow-Day Soup & Butternut Brew!
As I peered out of the window to see, yep you guessed it, SNOW on the ground my mind immediately started thinking of soup. I’m a foodie, not a fashionista (though I desperately try to be both which always leads me back to the hot mess reference) so instead of thinking what shoes or what…
I Think I Believe in Paleo…
No starvation diet here, no hunger pains, just results….I think I am a believer in Paleo
Take it with a Grain of Salt
It may be premature to mention resolutions, but why wait! Why do we have to set such inconceivable standards that usually end up broken and thrown out the window by the second week of January. This year start small and instead of waiting for the new year….start now and save your self a few…
A Scant of Spring with Asparagus Soup & Parmesan Crisp
Its official, its spring! Thyme to polish up with a fresh pedi, pack away all your dark heavy sweaters, & pull out some spring swag! It’s also the perfect time to get some well needed Vitamin D and plant a garden. (Yeah, I said it.) Whether you are apartment living, have a small yard, or…
Move Over Mr. Potato, the Kale Chip has Arrived!
Ok, so maybe I got carried away with the title of this blog post; however, there is a lot of truth to it. When I was a kid you never heard of Kale unless you went to someone’s BBQ and amongst the smorgasboard of fattening foods you would see a large pot of slimy greens with a…
