Baby Feed the Baby

Ive heard it a thousand times: "I gave her a bottle she should be good to go". I started to realize at five and a half month my poor daughter had never received baby food from my husband. When confronted his response: "Where already doing that?". I admit I had to laugh at his obliviousness to the world around him. I had been purchasing baby food for two months or so and we were ready for...

I have a confession: Im a control freak. And for many years an unapologetic one at that. The funny thing was I considered myself to be a mild one, especially after overcoming my battle with anorexia during my youth. I was now a helpful control freak! I could solve problems for people, take things off their hands they didnt have time for, and put things...

3 Day Diet Day 1 Breakfast

After hitting my all time weight of 160lbs at this point anything is worth trying and especially...

Zucchini Bread

I love this time of the year with all the fresh vegetables in season.  My dad has been gardening for a few years now and inspired me to start my own this past fall.  Unfortunately, my summer garden was a failure so luckily he supplies me with plenty of red, juicy tomatoes and delicious zucchini on a weekly basis.  I got a pressure cooker...

 Many soccer athletes, in their efforts to be light, lean and fast, think a good way to shed a few pounds of undesired  body fat is to skip breakfast. After all, they aren’t hungry when they wake up in the morning, so why not save a few calories…? Bad idea.Soccer players who skip breakfast will undoubtedly end up being too hungry later in...

Weekly Menu 7 16 7 21

Happy Monday Everyone!
As sad as I am that the weekend is over I have learned to love Mondays. I always feel more motivated to eat healthier, workout harder, and be more organized.  Mondays feel like a clean slate and for some reason that always makes me happy!

Before I share the menu with you I wanted to post about a fantastic product I discovered a few months ago and it has now become my FAVORITE breakfast.

In the mornings I give myself about 3.5 minutes to grab breakfast before work
(Im pathetic and am always late everywhere) 
So making scrambled eggs with hashbrowns and a smoothie just isnt realistic for me.
I need protein in the mornings to fill me up and sustain me for atleast 2 or 3 hours but its very difficult to find a protein powder or protein bar that is healthy and not loaded with artificial sweeteners or 12 grams of sugar.

Ive finally found what works best for me:
NUTRASUMMA Chocolate Flavored Pea Protein

You can buy it ONLINE or I buy it at THRIVE which is an acai bowl shop located by Fitness Works on Higley and Basline. It is $34 for a 2lb container.
Here is why I love it

The highest-quality protein for vegetarians and vegans
Nutra Summa Pea Protein
  • Complete protein from 100% vegan source
  • Promotes tissue repair*
  • Provides 20 grams of protein per serving
  • Free of soy and soy’s side effects
  • Contains no gluten
  • Easy to digest and absorb
  • Outstanding taste with nothing artificial
** Only 3 grams of organic sugar and also sweetened with stevia


Here is what I do to make my protein smoothie:

- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1/3 of a frozen banana (slices)
- 1 scoop protein
- 2 tsp. flax oil (cant even taste it!)
- enough water to allow the smoothie to mix

Blend and enjoy a breakfast full of protein and healthy fat!
236 calories if you include the flax oil and only 163 calories if you dont!


And here is the menu!
