Every time you are in the kitchen, trying out new recipes - you learn something. And usually, the recipe isn't the only thing you learn. If you have read this blog before, you probably figured out that for me, generally at least 5 hours of my Sunday are spent in the kitchen. Man do my… Continue reading Life Lessons in Cooking {episode one}

Sunday Fun – MEAL PREP!
Today started out at the gym, Sundays are leg days – deadlifting, squats, hamstring curls and leg extensions. This all seemed like a great idea at the time. Today, I deadlifted 150lbs (more than my body weight!) and squatted 65lbs. I felt great…. Until I got home and sat down! As much as I wanted… Continue reading Sunday Fun – MEAL PREP!
I <3 Saturdays
There is a certain peacefulness that I feel on Saturdays. It is the one day of the week that I get to sleep as late as I want, get up and do what I want to do in the morning. I don’t have to go to work, I don’t have any set plans for Saturday… Continue reading I ❤ Saturdays
What to do about breakfast – Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Breakfast has been a tough one for me while being Paleo. I end up with only about 5 minutes to grab something for breakfast after I run out the door. I am not a morning person, I think I mentioned that. I get up with exactly just enough time to shower, put on a touch… Continue reading What to do about breakfast – Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Adventures in Pie Land.
So as I mentioned in my previous post, I was assigned a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Now keep in mind that this whole preparing food thing, is still very new to me. Baking is a whole different ballgame. I think once I tried to make Tollhouse cookies, out of that tube in the refrigerator section… Continue reading Adventures in Pie Land.
What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas. Including getting off the diet track.
Okay, so unfortunately I am not here to report good news. My intentions to maintain Paleo eating in Vegas were far from successful. Do you know how hard it is to find anything to eat under $20 in Vegas? Let alone Paleo friendly food? Vegas is full of fancy restaurants, fast food and buffets. There… Continue reading What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas. Including getting off the diet track.
Sunday Funday
Part One: Woke up this morning and went straight to the gym! I didn’t think I would have the energy for it after my cardio date with the treadmill last night and truthfully, I didn’t have the energy but I made myself get up and go anyways. Today was day one of weightlifting. No, nothing… Continue reading Sunday Funday
Finding Time for Meal Prep
Meal prep is one of my new favorite things to do. The problem however, is finding time to prep during the week. I am off to work every morning by 8:15 and usually get home by 6:30 if I am lucky. When I throw in my weekly darts league, studying, and keeping the house clean,… Continue reading Finding Time for Meal Prep
Comfort Food
Where I come from, fall brings beautiful color changes and makes way for colder temperatures, snow, and hermit-tendencies. I was born and raised in Minnesota and for some reason, choose to still live here. I did try to escape briefly - I spent some time in Spain and lived in Denver for a year -… Continue reading Comfort Food
