Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day

Today we are going to make ice cream healthy! Wait, is that even possible?

That's what I wondered when one of my favorite bloggers, Ashley from Edible Perspective, posted a recipe for Banana Soft Serve. It wasn't until I made it myself that I fell in love with this ice cream alternative!

TRX Works For Everybody

Make your body your machine
Humans have spent the past few decades sitting on weight machines and training isolated muscle groups. The body is an interconnected chain of muscles that need to be challenged in every plane of motion. Unplug from the machines and train your body in 3D. The versatility of TRX Suspension Training® bodyweight exercise and Rip™ Training variable resistance exercise means that you can pick from hundreds of functional exercises that build strength, endurance, core stability and mobility.

Quesadillas are one of my favorite quick and easy lunch options. Warm, gooey, and full of flavor, they come together fast and satisfy the urge for comfort food. I think quesadillas have a bad reputation because of the heavy, greasy restaurant versions that can often have a calorie count worthy of a whole meal. We will make them healthy by using whole wheat tortillas, flavorful summer veggies, and going easy on the cheese. This will create a delicious, guilt-free summertime meal. And it won't cancel out all the hard work you did at the gym.

We live in a society that favors fast, easy, and convenient food options, yet it never seems easy to eat healthy on the go. Take the convenience store for example. Are you going to find anything besides temptation on the shelves?

Farmer’s Market season is finally back and I am excited to shop local and eat fresh! I thought it was going to be challenging- an entire meal for 4, under $10.00, but I managed to do it and you can too!

There are some people in this world, namely my husband and mother-in-law, who don't really care about dessert. They don't like cake, are impartial to ice cream, and only eat cookies on occasion. I think they're crazy and I'm definitely not one of those people.
