Fall is in full swing over here in the midwest, and that has me craving all types of warm, yummy comfort foods. I absolutely love lasagna, but not necessarily all of the carbs and cheese that usually comes along with it. So these Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats are an easy and healthy alternative. They totally […]
If you’re anything like me, by the time mid September rolls around you are craving anything pumpkin! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread….they are all so delicious, but they are often desserts that are loaded with sugars and fat. So, I wanted to come up with a sort of “guilt free” pumpkin treat – that […]

Knox has been super into wanting to cook and bake things lately. It’s so sweet. He grabs his stool, goes into the kitchen, takes out a mixing bowl and spoon, and pretends to “cook.” So I figured I better start letting him help me in the kitchen a little more! I also have the hugest […]

One of my all time favorite snacks is also a sweet, little treat. You can have it for breakfast, snack, or dessert! It’s that good…and it’s packed with over 20 grams of protein! 1 Cup Fage Greek Yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh berries of your choice, 1/4 cup Kind Granola
Before I started participating in Challenge Groups, I didn’t quite understand nutrition. To be honest, I thought a really healthy lunch was a turkey sandwich with light mayo and fat free cheese, a side of Baked Lays chips and a diet coke! Little did I know… So many people think that when they want to […]
“The best project you’ll ever work on is you.” Yup! This is so true, and before I started participating in Challenge Groups, I didn’t fully understand this. I was a new mom, and I was struggling to find the balance between being the best mom I knew how to be, being a supportive wife, sister, […]
It’s sad, but true. Often times as women we spend a lot of time dwelling on the things we don’t like about ourselves. It’s easy to focus in on the negative and think about what we want to change, what we are self conscious about….why is it so hard to admit what we like about […]
