Healthy recipes, smoothies and fueling.
I first posted this recipe back in 2013. As I was creating my meal plan for this week, I decided this was perfect but I needed to make some updates to it. After traveling for the Stride & Story retreat for the last several days it was a good excuse to whip up a slow …

Confession: I am obsessed with MacIntosh apples. So obsessed I have 4 dozen delivered to me every fall. A couple of years ago I forgot I’d already ordered them and accidentally ended up with 9 dozen. I eat a lot of them just as one eats an apple, plain and direct. But I love slicing …
