I have had some awesome blog worthy smoothies this week so wanted to share them with you. I use the Magic Bullet® to make my single smoothies. All you need to do is put all ingredients in the largest bullet mixer cup and blend! Might take a few shakes to get it all mixed up. You could even drink it right from that cup if you just can’t wait but I like to put my smoothies in my Starbucks … [Read more...]

Polyphenols are the powerful antioxidants that can help prevent diseases such as cancer, and popcorn packs almost double the amount of … [Read more...]

When I was younger I didn’t really cook all that much during the week, and when I did cook on workdays it was always something super quick and easy. I was always looking for really quick recipes I could just throw together and pretend I actually cooked that night. One of†my first, what I considered “fancier”, assembled dishes was this pasta with basil cream sauce. One of my … [Read more...]

The weekend started off Saturday night with a dinner at one of our local restaurants, Luma in Winter Park. The next day was our Food News seminar. We started with breakfast in bed. And then made … [Read more...]

Workouts this week were good! As you know, during the Best Body Bootcamp, we have to pick two goals each week. My goal to eat dinner at home has stayed the same for the first few weeks of Best Body Bootcamp but I changed up the 2nd goal.

When I was in college, after I had put on that extra “freshman 15″, which in my case was actually a freshman 40, I decided to go vegetarian. It wasn’t for any other reason than to lose the extra weight I had put on. I made it a few weeks, and lost a little bit of weight, but my cravings did me in. Not hamburger or pizza cravings, but my cravings for pork. I could go without fried … [Read more...]
