I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote I saw from Bob Goff: “What’s simple isn’t always easy, what’s easy doesn’t always last.” This whole healthy living thing–it’s not complicated. It’s actually quite simple. Eat well. Exercise. Take care of yourself. While there’s nuances and details and science behind those statements, the bottom line is,…
Asian Chicken Meatballs
Meatballs are a great option for a quick, healthy meal. They’re easy to throw together, a great source of protein, and making one huge batch can turn into multiple meals. While they can be served in a variety of ways, I love making mine with an Asian twist. Here’s all you need: The original recipe…
Proats
Oatmeal is such a great breakfast option. On its own, it’s incredibly filling, a healthy source of carbs (*gasp*), and full of whole grains and fiber. I also enjoy that it comes in a variety of flavors, like these. What can I say? I like having options. And variety is the pumpkin spice of life….
Balsamic Chicken Pizza
For starters, let me be clear: I have nothing against pizza. I won’t ever say you can’t have it ever. That’s crazy talk. I’m all for it, in moderation. But sometimes, I find I also enjoy a healthier version that’s flavorful, satisfying, and helps keep me on track toward my goals. This Balsamic Chicken Pizza…
MyFitnessPal: Friend or Foe?
While you do not have to track calories to lose weight, when weight loss is, at its core, a matter of being in a caloric deficit, it can be very helpful, especially if you’re just starting out. During previous attempts to lose weight, though, I’d often try to use the MyFitnessPal app to track what…
Top Ten: Trader Joe’s
It’s no secret around here that I am a fan of Trader Joe’s. They have so many amazing products, some days, it’s hard not to walk out with one of everything. And every time I go in, I feel like I discover something new. And while I could give you an exhaustive list of all…
Low-Cal Latte
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make a post about coffee. But if you’ve paid attention to some of my photos, you’ll notice about 75% of my counter space is devoted to coffee. So clearly, coffee is of high value and great importance to me. And while I’ll take coffee in any…
On Fearlessness
At the beginning of the year, I didn’t make any resolutions, but I did choose a word for the year. Something to work toward and be truer of me by the end of the year: Fearless. I chose this word, well, because I tend towards being a pretty fearful person. And what I’ve come to…
Cilantro Lime Chicken
I love a good Mexican chicken recipe. Mostly because it usually means I get to have queso with my dinner, and who doesn’t love them some queso every now and then. This Cilantro Lime Chicken has fresh, vibrant flavors that will liven up any Mexican dish your heart desires to make. It only requires 5…
On Messiness
I’m a mess. I do not have it together. And I would say even if you feel like you do, there are probably parts of your life that are messy. But there is magic in the mess. There is beauty in brokenness. If I had it all together, I wouldn’t know how much I need…
