The Friday 5

Image
Hi and happy Friday (the 13th)! I’m still in Seattle today for the Brooks Running Innovation Summit. (I’m taking a red eye home tonight.) Yesterday, we learned all about some of the brand’s new shoes that are hitting the market in early 2020. They’re under wraps for now, but I’m excited to share the details once they debut. We also got to train with Shamrock (Shaddy) Biwott, who is a Brooks-sponsored athlete. He also came in 3rd place at last year’s Boston Marathon! In today’s edition of The Friday 5, there’s everything from my new favorite sweet snack, life-changing book, and face serum… plus, a hilarious dog costume for Murph! Enjoy your weekend! 1. Double Chocolate Protein Muffins from Health Warrior I’ve been loving these double chocolate protein muffins from Health Warrior. They are not only gluten-free (made with chickpea flour), but are also low in sugar (just 6g) and have 13g of plant protein. Plus, they take just 1 minute to cook up in the microwave and they are deliciou

17 Easy Whole30® Recipes

A special thanks to Aimee McNew at Paleohacks.com for today’s keto recipe roundup. Trying a Whole30® can be a great way to refresh your diet or routine. If you’re already busy or overloaded with life, you might wonder how you have enough time to do even more prepping or cooking. The Whole30 diet means doing 30 days (or longer) of a restricted version of Paleo. Any added sweeteners, even those that are Paleo, are not allowed, and neither are Paleo baked goods or alcohol. Foods like soy, dairy, grains, and other non-Paleo foods are definitely off the table. While it can feel restrictive, it’s only for a month—and it’s a great way to give yourself a dietary reset. Going Whole30 recipes don’t have to be time-intensive or complicated. These 15 recipes are the perfect way to maximize your time in the kitchen. Even if you hate cooking, these easy Whole30 recipes are so delicious, you’ll keep eating them long after your 30 days are up. 1. Silky Dark Chocolate Avocado Truffles You don’t

Meal Prep Hacks for a Long Flight

Image
Greetings from somewhere over Minnesota! Are you ready for some meal prep hacks for a long flight? Oh, I bet you are! 😉 I was up and at ’em this morning to catch an early-morning flight across the country to Seattle to visit the Brooks Running team and fellow #runhappy ambassadors. The flight is nearly 6 hours long, so I packed all sorts of food, including breakfast and lunch as well as snacks (just in case). Even though airports have lots of healthy options nowadays, it’s still sometimes a challenge for me to find something that fits within my diet. For instance, breakfast is always a struggle because I mostly eat gluten-free, limit dairy, and don’t eat eggs . I mean, what else is there?! Long story short, I packed a half day’s worth of food to keep me satisfied for the long flight. I’ve eaten this way for a while now and travel quite a bit, so I’ve had plenty of practice when it comes meal prep hacks for a long flight. I know how to prepare and pack my food in a way that’s easy

We’ve now surpassed 25,000 signatures on our petition to Kellogg’s. This is amazing!!! But our work is not done. We are taking on a multi-billion dollar food company, and need all the help we can get.  ** IMPORTANT: Please share our petition with everyone you know. Simply hit the social share buttons to share instantly. It takes 2 seconds.  We are getting Kellogg’s attention. I made an appearance on Fox46 this morning to discuss how important this petition is and we received an official response. Watch the news clip here: VIDEO      Kellogg’s provided Fox46 with the following letter in response to our petition: (red text is my comments) The truth is that Kellogg’s has made NO PROGRESS. This brings up questions about their real intentions.  Why is Kellogg’s creating brand NEW cereals with artificial ingredients if they truly want to remove these chemicals?  Kellogg’s makes Froot Loops and Unicorn Cereal in other countries without artificial colors or BHT, so they a

Tips For Clutter Zones

Image
We all have clutter zones in our house that seem to accumulate things while we sleep. Here are some tips for managing the clutter. One would think you could organize your entire house from top to bottom – ONCE – and then just live happily in order forever. You find a place for everything and that’s that. While there are  some  areas of my house where this rings true, most areas tend to accumulate stuff without me even knowing. All of a sudden something that was once organized now looks like a tornado came through, and I have to spend an afternoon sorting, reorganizing and donating. The most common clutter zones in my house are: Mazen’s closet The pantry My closet The garage What do these areas have in common? Things are coming in but things are not going out. That doesn’t always mean I’m shop-a-holicing items into my Target cart – a lot of the time the imports come from gifts, school, goodie bags, birthdays, and blog freebies. Of course intentional shopping is also involved
