I've turned over a new breakfast leaf, and switched up my usual oatmeal combos with smoothies. I'm now anxiously awaiting my new Vitamix, because my old blender was unhappy with the amount of frozen fruit being thrown into it everyday. Peaches & Green Smoothie Serves 1 Calories: 450 kCal Carbs: 64g Fat: 17g Protein: 25g …
After the WDW Marathon last weekend, I gave myself two days to eat whatever I wanted, and then, made some big changes to my eating. Since my training will be slim to none for at least another week, I saw this as an opportunity to try to kick some of the sugar habit I'd regained …

Last weekend I went nuts cooking. I also realized that with the marathon this weekend, and then likely not wanting to spend my time on my feet in my kitchen when I get back, I decided to go extra nuts, and make enough stuff to freeze for the following week. And I got creative. Partially …
I love Chipotle. Its delicious, and for fast-food, it's not too bad for you. But, it's still got more salt, unneeded fat, and calories than you need, and skimps on the nutrients. My favorite thing about this recipe, is that you can add whatever protein you want to it. I've done it with 3 oz …

I love cooking, so it's no secret that being holiday cook makes me happy. I get to choose what goes in, and can get creative with adding twists to other recipes.

After traveling all week, I didn't feel like hitting the grocery store when I got home last night, which meant no apples or bananas for my usual oatmeal. So I got a little creative!
