What is Keto?

Before we dig into these delicious super easy recipes, let me give you more information on keto diet. A keto diet emphasizes eating foods that are rich in protein and fats and minimal in carbohydrates. Your body gets into a state of ketosis, during which it uses stored fat as energy. A keto diet usually consists of whole foods with protein, natural fats and lots of Veggies. Carb-rich foods like pasta, sugar and bread are reduced. Low-carb diet is great for people who want to reduce their weight and improve overall health.

I personally do not follow a keto diet. I believe in living a balanced life… Read More

Blondies
I can’t believe it’s already November! What what!? Here are some yummy blondies I made recently…to celebrate a fixed oven!

My oven died for a few weeks. The repair person cancelled an appointment, then that got rescheduled, only to find out that the problem was electrical. Then we had to ask around for an electrician and that person finally came out to fix the issue. But…YES! The oven is back! Sweet.

One of the things I was most looking forward to when I was pregnant was running with our baby. I ran all throughout my pregnancy, and I even ran the day I went to the hospital to have him. I eagerly looked forward to running with him once he was old enough and now that he’s almost two, we still run together, although not as often! (His patience in the stroller is lower since he wants to get out and walk and play!)

Although I’ve run for 20+ years, getting out the house to run is much more of an ordeal now that I’m a mom, especially if Thomas is coming along. I have to consider all sorts of things like what time is best for us to run around his eating and sleeping schedules; the weather (too hot? too cold? rainy? windy?); if I need water or snacks for me and/or him; I have to think about my running mechanics; and, most importantly, I have to make sure Thomas is safe and happy. Granted, it’s easier now that he’s a little older, but in those earlier … Read More

These are my five go-to protein powders that don’t contain whey. I included pros and cons of each along with a nutrition and price comparison to help you choose the best protein powder for you.

I get asked a lot what my favorite protein powder is, and to be honest, it depends on the day you ask me. There are multiple brands that I rotate among, and I’ll go into the pros and cons of each. I can’t have whey or casein so all of these are plant-based, with the exception of collagen which is typically cow, chicken or fish derived. I included two collagens in the list since it’s a popular protein supplement these days and I get asked about it quite often.

Best Protein Powder for Runners

A few things to note before we dive into the list:

Each brand has a few other options so the nutrition specifics may vary slightly, but it should be pretty similar across the brand.

I like having protein… Read More

Delicate, light-as-a-cloud, fluffy Angel Food Cake is the ultimate way to showcase glorious summer berries and fruit curds. It is equally lovely, though, with a simple dusting of powdered sugar or dollop of whipped cream.

There is no box mix on earth that can come close to the ethereal perfection of a homemade Angel Food Cake, and thankfully it is easy to make. It just takes a little attention to detail and the ability to follow directions.
