Let's face it...we all know life is too busy and it just isn't practical to spend a whole day on your weekend in the kitchen. This meal prep is an example of a way to prep meals for one person for the M-F work week and not get bored (or spend your entire weekend doing so). Trust me, when I first started meal prepping (if you include grocery shopping, prepping, and cleaning up,) I spent almost all day to have things ready. I didn't mind it at first, but now, my goal is to spend as little time...

Today though, I'm talking specifically about changes to how I grocery shop to help manage and increase my...
If any of you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I shared a “story” from my date night at the B&N book store. In my story I shared about how I was looking at the cookbooks and noticed something too obvious not to share. It had been about a year since I had been to a bookstore (because, life with a one year old), and what I noticed was that the cookbooks had a whole new trend in diets than the last time I had been in. The cookbooks always seem to follow the trend of the most...
For most of my life I hated exercise. These negative feelings originated all the way back to my middle school years.
