Read MoreFull Core as a healthy snack alternative: Lemon Lime Mojito Recipe too! #StopSnacking #cbias
I am frustrated. At 30, I am not in the best shape for me. This was me at my peak about a year and a half ago… Below is a more recent picture. Today I could stand to lose about 15 pounds and tone back up. `It’s not just about the weight loss, but about the confidence I feel when I am taking care of my body. You know that feeling when you look at a picture where you see the extra weight in your trouble areas that’s where I am at right now. Being petite, the extra weight shows. In the 1st picture, I could push myself beyond what I thought I was ever capable of! However, since a car wreck last march leaving me with nerve damage, I am unable to workout like I use to. I have been forced to ease up on the intensity and I miss that! I am now doing more...
Read MoreNot all Milk Alternatives are equal: Try Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe Using Silk Soy Milk #rethinkwhatyoudrink
Milk!?! It’s one of those tough subjects that seems so simple, but can become so complicated without even realizing it. The thing about it is when I was a kid I don’t remember people drinking anything except regular or chocolate milk (and not anything like the ones pictured below). When I started working at a health food store in college, I got curious about all the different milk alternatives. The funny thing was I hadn’t even realized that dairy milk made me feel bad, because we just get so use to the way that we are. For 19 years, I let dairy milk make me miserable. It’s interesting how small changes in your life can make you feel new again. That’s what happened when I went away from dairy milk. It turns out I am lactose...
Read MoreMaking Reindeer Food and playing Rise of the Guardians as a family #CouchCritic #CBias
The holidays are over. We didn’t get to spend as much quality family time together this year on the actual Christmas Day since we were expecting a snowstorm & I had surgery scheduled for the day after Christmas. To be honest, my Christmas Day of silence and clear liquids was the most depressing Christmas ever. . So, with the release of the Wii video game Rise of the Guardians, I figured it was a good time to use up those marked down candy canes and enjoy some time together doing what we love…gaming and cooking! With us not having cable or high speed internet for streaming, we have been using Redbox for a while. Did you know that you can now rent video games at Redbox? Most rental stores charge $3-$4 a night for video game rentals so $2/night at...
Read MoreCool Whip Frosting + Gingerbread Cupcakes = lower fat & sugar #CoolWhipFrosting #CBias
Just because we are super parents doesn’t mean we have to do everything all by ourselves. This is a typical school night in our household. We are working on homework while I am making dinner, baking, or all the above. I love making most of our food homemade, but time isn’t always on my side. Just because I don’t have the time doesn’t mean I don’t want to try to make better choices that are also decadent for my family! We went shopping at Walmart for the rest of supplies to make gingerbread. It’s beginning to look a lot like Fall! Choices, Choices, Choices!!! I generally switch between topping cupcakes with Cool Whip or Frosting. Have you seen that Cool Whip now makes a Frosting? You can find it in the freezer section by the...
Read MoreDel Monte Fruit Cups for healthy back to school snacks: The “Five Fruit” Bar recipe #SmartSnack #CBias
With the return of school comes certain challenges such as maintaining healthy snacks combined with hectic schedules. We find ways to provide snack options that are both healthy and convenient by using Del Monte Fruit Cups. Del Monte Fruit Cups can be found in the Canned Fruit aisle at Walmart in varieties of the usual diced peaches or pears as well as several different Mixed Fruit kinds. I prefer the No Sugar added variety, which takes the sugar from 15 grams (g) to 5 g. My boys LOVE fruit cups as they are, but they love what we can turn them into with minimal efforts. I love that there’s no cutting/peeling needed. This Fruit Bar contains a base of 5 different kinds of fruit (more depending on how you garnish) and tastes delicious! To see the rest of our...
Read MoreParmesan-crusted bacon and pesto grilled cheese trio {Mouthgasm} #NationalGrilledCheeseMonth
April is National Grilled Cheese Month! Whether you prefer a classic grilled cheese, or a little gourmet zing with tomato and goat cheese, the grilled cheese sandwich is comfort food at its finest. Check out Udi’s Gluten Free blog throughout April and try the gooey and delicious gluten free grilled cheese recipes they’ve toasted up. As parents, we don’t always think of grilled cheese as a gourmet treat. However, once we went gluten free, there were so many limitations that cheese become an indulgent treat for us. Seriously, there is not much better than a good cheese and grapes! To keep up with the Earth Day theme as well as including Horizon Organics, I used a local cheese {From mycheesefactory~here in oklahoma} Introducing one of our...
