I am obsessed with muffins, it’s no secret! Because of this obsession, and the fact that I do try and live a healthy lifestyle, I often play with my standard “guilt free” muffin recipe to come up with new flavors. Check out my original recipe here. With Keto being so popular right now, I couldn’t help myself with this delightful keto friendly recipe! I do not follow a keto friendly diet, but I have a friend who does.…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe for a good pre / post workout snack. While cleaning out my pantry this weekend, I realized I had Medjool dates that needed to be used. I bought them a while back for a copy cat Lara Bar recipe I never got around to making so I grabbed what items I did have, and threw them in my food processor a voila! I bring you my…
Do you remember the first time you got to eat a chocolate chip cookie, fresh out of the oven? You might not be able to recall that far back, but I am sure we can agree that your taste buds did a little happy dance. This happens to be the same happy dance my taste buds did upon trying Trail Butter for the first time. If you haven’t heard of these guys yet, who happen…
Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts and snacks. Whether hot or cold, it fills me up and is a quick and easy delicious meal. Instant oatmeal is great for camping and travel, but taste and texture is hit and miss. I was very excited to try some Roam Oatmeal, which is organic, gluten-free, and made in Portland OR. Like most instant oatmeal, it comes in single serve bags, and these bags are sturdy enough…

Squash of your choosing (acorn, butternut, etc.) Fresh sage leaves Spices (Nutmeg, cinnamon, optional pumpkin spice) Cream of your…
As we know, a 5k is 3.1 miles. Here is my take on the so-called Spaghetti Squash 5k – 3.1 different ways.Each way is very delicious, very healthy, low carb, and vegetarian or vegan. First of all, in case you’ve never had spaghetti squash, the insides of the gourd peel out and provide a yellow spaghetti-like texture. You technically could do any of these recipes with pasta, but here is a healthier option for the…
As a family of five, with two working parents, our on-the-go schedules can make dinners a challenge at times. We are constantly on the run from one job to the next and one activity to another and as much as I’d like to pretend that we do a great job at food prep, the honest truth is that 3 kids under the age of 7 leave us tired and not the best at planning in…
The two things I need most of in my life right now are energy and time. Fortunately, Bizzy Coffee aims to meet both of these goals. Bizzy Coffee was founded by two best friends who were running a group fitness company while also training for a 24-hour obstacle race. In other words, they were busy. They needed a product that would energize them in a hurry, but they wanted it to be as healthy as…
