For heaven’s sake, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
This is the day I wish I had every day, I put a lot of brain power into this day! I’ve had good and bad weeks throughout my journey living with Diabetes. I told myself at the very beginning that if nothing else, I would be mindful of my self-care because ignoring it is what […]
Chocolate Chip and Almond Banana Muffins
I’m so excited to share this recipe with you guys! I am constantly losing out when I buy bananas. I buy them completely green, blink once and they’re T-O-T-A-L-L-Y done for. I finally stopped being lazy and tried my hand at banana muffins. I’m not the best baker (y’all know that), but these are AWESOME. […]
Low-key places to visit during the Houston Superbowl if you don’t want to wait in lines
The Superbowl is coming to Houston, and this event is going to sweep the city. Every corner of every part of Houston will have some event, or some happening going on. Luckily, a lot of the events are concentrated Downtown, but whether you’re a local, or a visitor, you might want to hop over to some of […]
Jalapeño, Cheddar and Sausage Kolaches
A few days ago I asked you guys to guess what Texas breakfast favorite would appear on the blog – you guys were so close! This week, I made Jalapeño, Cheddar and Sausage Kolaches! I’ve been pretty obsessed with creating recipes that I normally would buy. It’s really fun to figure out how some of your […]
Look, losing weight is never going to be easy.
I’m very open about my intentions and goals in losing weight. I want to be because it means that others will hold me accountable, and it helps me do the right thing. I also have never had real guidance on this journey, so it helps me to write these things out, to better understand my […]
Why I’m afraid to lose weight again.
Each year, the days dwindle down until we hit January 1 – the time of year where we all feel as if we can do better, and vow to change our lives. I feel that same way. The new year brings about a spirited time where you feel as if you can start over. You […]
Lemon Ginger Apple Cider Champagne Punch
The holidays are almost over, and I’m a little bit sad! Although I’m in love with all of the time to relax, time with my family and ALL of the food, I’m actually very ready for the New Year. This year has taught be a lot about myself, but I have so much to look […]
Luxury English Muffins
When B and I took our trip to Portland, we had a few really amazing breakfasts at Urban Farmer – a really airy, fresh food restaurant in The Nines hotel downtown. They had these ridiculously fluffy, pillowy, light english muffins and I became obsessed. I’m used to english muffins that could be used as a […]
Why I bought a medical ID bracelet.
I always thought that Medical ID bracelets were something for people of a certain age. I also thought they were boring, purposeful, but boring…and ugly. It wasn’t until I had a scare with someone very close to me that I thought “what if I was alone, or in public, and something happened to me? Would anyone […]
Cinnamon Compound Butter
One of my absolute favorite compound butters.
Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash, Bacon Salad.
I’m really starting to learn a lot about cooking with seasonal veggies and not just the same ones I always eat (I’m looking at you, broccoli). I decided to use a veggie that often gets a bad rap: Brussels Sprouts. If you’re not aware, Brussels Sprouts are basically a baby cabbage. It’s a leafy green, […]
How to kick your stress eating habit.
I’ve been extremely stressed lately. From some traumatic things that have happened in the past couple weeks, to trying to plan a fun and quick trip/honeymoon for Bryan and I (which, in comparison to everything else, is really not that much of a chore), to getting food poisoning, it has been a HELL of a week in […]
Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
No flour, no butter, and no white sugar. WHAT?? That’s right – these almond butter dark chocolate chip cookies do the trick. We’re doing these really awesome fundraisers at work, and a co-worker of mine made an AH-MAH-ZING cookie – an Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie. Like, so good that I had to text her for […]
H-E-B made my meals REAL simple.
You guys know that I’m constantly trying to find ways to save time -especially lately. It’s the busiest time of year at work for me, and I’m sometimes not leaving until the sun sets. When I get home, I still have to sometimes walk the dog, do the dishes, work some more, and tidy up […]
Is working out with your spouse worth it?
[button animation=”fadeIn” link_url=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxLFD9VZ1SHLpCCWuAhX_DA” title=”SUBSCRIBE TO MY VLOG” color=”#ffffff” background=”#db135c”] Bryan and I have tried our adventures in working out together. It has been so much fun, and something we constantly look forward to doing together. We encourage one another during weight sessions and push each other during cardio. Afterward, we come home and eat a […]
Am I really losing weight?
[button animation=”fadeIn” link_url=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxLFD9VZ1SHLpCCWuAhX_DA” title=”SUBSCRIBE TO MY VLOG” color=”#ffffff” background=”#db135c”] To be very honest, over the past few months losing weight hasn’t been my focus. At all. When I found out I was diabetic in May, I made it my mission to get my blood glucose in a normal place, and establish a routine. The doctor […]
Avocado Breakfast Toast
Bryan and I have run pretty low on groceries this week, and our pantry is empty. This morning after we worked out, we tried to find something easy and yummy to make. We had bread, eggs, and avocado, and realized we could have a simple, but delicious breakfast. I know toasts are kind of over […]
Moving
I thought home for us would be a few things – comfort, togetherness, and a place to settle. It hasn’t been that yet. When we moved, we knew that there would be good, and bad that came with it, but we never imagined the first three months of living in our apartment being the way it […]
