This clean eating butternut squash soup has a twist that totally puts it over the top in the flavor department! I was recently working on a recipe for Butternut Squash Lasagna. To put it nicely…. it didn’t work out. BUT… I had a considerable amount of squash left over and thought I’d try making some soup. Now normally, I’ll use the “typical” ingredients. Some milk, nutmeg and garlic. But I wanted something different. I had just received a book I ordered called “ The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America’s Most Imaginative Chefs “. OMG! If you haven’t seen this book, you NEED to check it out. It should be a staple in every kitchen across the globe! It’s fabulous! So I turned to the page on butternut squash and it gave me a huge list of every kind of flavor that pairs well with this particular squash. Highlighted, were cilantro and coconut milk. I would NEVER have considered this combination before. But I was feeling brave after ...

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!  I hope your day is warm and fuzzy and full of love! 🙂 The other day, a friend shared this Valentine’s Day survey on Facebook, so Mal and I decided to play along. Without prompting, you’re suppose to ask your significant other these questions and write down exactly what they say. We definitely had some good laughs about each other’s answers! Feel free to play along with your significant other! What is something I say a lot? M: “If it was a dog, it would have bit you.” <— I have no idea why Mal said this. So random. Haha! I say this on occasion when he “looks” for something. T: “So, I was listening to Joe Rogan…” How tall am I? M: 5’4″ T: 5’8″ If I became famous, what would it be for?

T: You’re a great teacher and really care about your students and making a difference in thi...

We’ve all heard the story. Maybe we’ve even been the protagonist. Person goes full keto . They lose a bunch of weight, normalize their pre-diabetic glucose numbers, resolve their high blood pressure readings, have more energy, feel great, and have nothing but high praise for the new way of eating. Except for one thing, everything seems perfect: their cholesterol is sky-high. It throws a wrench into the whole operation, installs a raincloud over the procession, spoils their confidence. “Could I be killing myself?” “Are my health improvements just a mirage?” In other words, are the apparent benefits of keto merely superficial if your cholesterol skyrockets? The evidence is pretty clear that for the majority of adults who go keto, their cholesterol numbers improve. In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, a ketogenic diet improved blood lipids and boosted fat loss compared to a low-calorie diet. In lean, healthy adults without any weight to lose (and who didn’t lose any weight dur...

How can you fix it? Is sodium the knight in shining armor? Is adding extra salt to your meals enough or do you need to supplement?

^^Great Harvest Apple Dapple bread with almond butter = my ultimate pre-workout breakfast I have figured out that, like coffee, I really need a workout in the morning to get my endorphins flowing for the day. Recently I had an 8:30 pm soccer game and sat around all day in anticipation. (The weather was awful or I would have tried for a mid-day walk with Birch.) By 4 pm I was sooooo grumpy. I realized that on the days when I don’t leave the house, I really need a good indoor naptime workout to boost my mood. I have experimented with doing blog work during first morning nap and working out later in the day (aka showering first and then getting in a  clean sweat  later in the day.) But if I ever have a choice, I much prefer a mid-morning workout. The endorphins set the tone for the rest of the day! So once Birch was settled into his crib… I went downstairs to the treadmill and set up a circuit workout for the next hour. (I got lucky that B slept for 1.5 hours – so I even ha...
