I did a poll on Instagram stories the other day, and most of you are not going back to work in person right now! I on the other hand am going back to teaching in person (with a hybrid model), but will be going back to school 5 days a week. The past few weeks [...]
Lately I have really been loving making Italian recipes - skinny chicken parmesan, pesto and spaghetti squash, and mozzarella stuffed meatballs. Oddly, I have also been craving ravioli, something I normally don't crave (but I'm pretty sure this growing baby has my husband's tastebuds). I've seen recipes with zucchini ravioli before, but I've personally never [...]
Before I was pregnant, I really didn't research a lot about what it was like being pregnant... heck I was just trying to get my hormones figured out so we could even try! But, now that I'm almost halfway through the pregnancy (20 weeks on Friday, aka 5 months), I've wrapped my head around all [...]
I have been on a breakfast kick lately (obviously since all my recent posts about been about breakfast on the blog and my instagram lol)! In first trimester, I could really only keep down carbs (more on that HERE) and found myself craving pancakes! So weird because I have never been a pancake lover before. [...]
Recently, I have been buying a lot of bananas (something I really like to have on hand as a snack before working out, thanks to my pregnancy hunger lol). But each week I keep finding myself with a couple of over-ripened bananas. I got the whole "weekly batch of banana bread" out of my system [...]
Ahhh long time no chat friends! I took a break from the blog the past several weeks due to the amount of crazy life changes we have had. Between matching residency, moving to a new state, buying a house during COVID19, and expecting our first baby- we’ve had a lot of change happen lately. Great [...]
This recipe is a staple in our house, mainly because it takes all of 5 minutes to make! If I don't have a lot of time to cook, this is my go to recipe. I throw this pesto on edamame pasta (full of protein) and BOOM the meal's done! I took my original pesto recipe [...]
Like many of you, this past month I've been able to read more. I love to read, but I usually get pretty busy with the every day grind and rarely make time for it. During this quarantine time I've been really enjoying slowing down and reading in the evening. I'm a huge fan of self-help [...]
Raise your hand if you’ve noticed yourself snacking more than normal while working from home… I don’t know what is, maybe it’s the fact that the refrigerator is steps away from my workspace, but I noticed I was snacking a ton the first couple of weeks I was working from home. I’m actually not against [...]
I know many of you rely on the gym for fitting in your workouts, and are now trying to figure out a new routine at home. I am actually a huge fan of home workouts, and for the past 5 years most of my exercise has happened at home. I occasionally pop in the gym [...]
