Sorry for the silence. I am actually feeling a bit overwhelmed with school work. I never thought I would be saying that at this point in my life. Yesterday it all kind of hit me and I actually crawled back into bed and under the covers, I couldn’t function, I was a bit paralyzed by [...]

The Best Grain-Free Simple Pancakes

On March 16, 2013 · 1 Comment

I woke up this morning feeling a little under the weather, a bit sick to my stomach. Oddly, I wanted to eat but I wanted to eat something chewy, something like bread. I don’t eat bread so that really limited my choices. I decided I NEEDED pancakes. My quest for pancakes this morning turned into [...]

New Year Detox/Cleanse

On January 7, 2013 · 1 Comment

I never thought I would be writing about a “cleanse”. I’m not a fan. I think the reason I don’t particularly like the whole “cleanse” idea is because people use it for weight loss. What a horrible thing to do to yourself.

Most of the cleanses that I’ve heard about require you to completely change [...]

Long Time, No Post

On December 20, 2012 · 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I put up a new post. It’s not that I don’t have anything to share, it’s that I have too much to share!

I hit the mid-point of my nutrition program and am heading into the second half. This part of the program is a little more hands on. I [...]
