It’s been a rough couple of weeks–or months–as far as effort I’ve put out for my health. I just did a 2-week sugar reset challenge with Megan at Skinny Fitalicious that motivated me to get my act together. We have about 15 1/2 weeks until the Grand Canyon hike, and I’m not even remotely ready!… Continue reading positivity gets results…I hope
This week, I actually tried several new recipes as I was meal-prepping for the week. First was this low-carb/keto bread from Iona at Low Carb Spark …that I forgot to take a picture of. Oops. I made this last Saturday, and it wasn’t bad. I don’t mean that to sound negative, but I love bread,… Continue reading recipe roundup #1

I live in the South, and, growing up, the small Baptist church I grew up raised money every year or two by selling cookbooks containing members’ recipes.

Since I’m trying to eat slightly healthier these days, I modified this a little bit to something of less calorie-bomb proportions. This is a… Continue reading veg-all casserole
I’m a little new to this whole posting-recipes thing, and to be honest, I don’t usually actually use a recipe…which makes that even more difficult. I also tend to eat a lot of the same foods often because 1) I’m on a budget, and 2) it’s just me, so I normally meal prep and batch… Continue reading my version of healthy spaghetti and meatballs
So, this past weekend was a bit rough for me, emotionally, and I, being an emotional eater, got a little off-track with the healthy, vegan eating. As in, a friend took me out for lunch Saturday and I had a steak and a loaded baked potato. I felt pretty sluggish and “blah” afterwards. Don’t get… Continue reading looking for balance
