Brown Bag Redo—Kids’ Edition

Image
Most kids go to school about 180 days each year, which means you’re packing 180 lunches—or more, if you have multiple children. It’s natural about this time of year for old routines to get stale—for parents and kids. Luckily, there are plenty of healthy and delicious Primal lunch choices for kids. Here you’ll find inspiration and a few helpful tips that will make packing kids’ lunches an easy task instead of a dreaded chore. Leftovers Make Life Easier Protein that can be eaten without utensils is perfect for school lunches, so make a double (or triple) batch for dinner and pack leftovers for lunch.

This post is sponsored by Blue Apron If you’re looking for something unique to bring to a holiday gathering this year, consider a Blue Apron box for inspiration! Especially if you have family in town over the holidays, all the more reason to cook up a recipe together. I enjoy Blue Apron the most when I divide and conquer a recipe or two with friends . While most Blue Apron recipes are intended to be served as gourmet dinners for two people or family-style for four, many of the recipes also make great appetizers (the empanadas!) or side dishes. This year they are offering special Thanksgiving Side Kits just for this purpose! I don’t know about you, but the last place I want to go during Thanksgiving week is the grocery store – skip the long lines and let your ingredients come to you. The first 50 newbies wanting to give Blue Apron a try can get $30 off your order! Click here . This latest Blue Apron dish – Spiced Cauliflower & Jasmine Rice with Poblano Pepper & Cilantro

Tel Aviv Night Run 10k Recap

What a blast! Put the Tel Aviv Night Run in my top 10 favorite races! Photo by http://ift.tt/2gOZhAE Ok, so, truthfully, I’m typically not much of a night runner. I’m a grandma and usually go to bed before the race’s start time, but, wow, the energy at this 10k was something else. The second that we arrived at the event, you could FEEL it. It was quite the party atmosphere with lights and music, and it immediately made me excited to run the race. Vibe Israel hooked us up with access to the VIP tent, so we didn’t wait in line for the bathroom and it was a good spot to meet everyone before and after the race. Our group of influencers possessed a mix of fitness experience – some of us were runners, some of us were… not. Charlie runs marathons (she has 3 on her calendar right now!), but Rebecca , Danny  , and Jorge had never run a 10k. They were actually kind of nervous about the whole thing, so we decided to run together for moral support. Photo by http://ift.tt/2gOZhAE R
