Back exercises are important for moms for a number of reasons. Here’s the skinny on why you should work your sexy back: Read more »
I’ve been unfaithful. It’s actually been going on for awhile now. I figured I should come clean, as some of you were on to my secret. Honestly, it was just getting to be too much to hide it all the time. I mean, when it’s true love, you just want to shout it out to the world.
So, I’ll just come out and say it. I know I’m going to hurt some of those who used to be really close to me (brown rice, pasta, potatoes, oatmeal.) Just know it’s not you, it’s me. . . Wait, actually it is you – you’re too low protein, low fiber, low nutrient…. I’m not trying to make you feel back or anything. I just really have to take care of myself right now. I hope you understand.
Here I am to shout from the rooftops….. I LOVE QUINOA!!!
I can’t keep it to myself any longer. I’m buying the Costco bags now, so my secret is out. I may as well be honest with myself and all of you. There is no turning back. I’ve traded my low protein/high carb grains for these teeny, tiny seeds that have TWICE the protein per serving.
I have a whole series of quinoa recipes to share with you. Today I’m going to share one that you will want to to try this week. All really yummy, clean ingredients: Read more »
Most moms have diastasis recti after giving birth (also known as abdominal separation or rectus diastasis). This is very common, because as your belly grows in the later stages of your pregnancy, your abdominal muscles get stretched beyond their limits. Some moms can see this happening, as they develop a darkened line down the center of their belly, called the linea alba. However, many moms have a diastasis WITHOUT having a visible linea alba.
The only way to know if you have diastasis recti is to Read more »

It’s What-To-Eat-Wednesday. WooHoo!!
Today I’m giving you one of my favorite dinners. This is one of my favorites for a few reasons – important reasons:
1. Super fast
2. Super easy
3. Awesome Low Carb/High Protein ratio (ideal for dinnertime)
4. It involves guacamole
Okay, so when I have no time, I throw together a little ChickSpinGuac. It never fails to fill me up and give me that perfect full-but-not-stuffed feeling.
I take a piece of Sara’s Spicy & Savory Chicken, since I always have that on hand, pre-made for the week. Then I saute a few nice, big handfuls of spinach in a splash (not a pool) of sesame oil and a few shakes of red pepper flakes (essential!). I pile that on a plate with a big ole scoop of my fresh made guac.
I make my own guac exclusively. I hate the store bought stuff. It doesn’t even taste like avocado. It tastes like salty chemicals to me. If you look at some of the stuff they put in there it’s easy to see why. So I make my own and it takes me about 45 seconds. Granted I have a TON of guac making experience since it’s one of my favorite foods. So, it might take you 90 seconds if you’re less experienced. Here’s how I make it: Read more »
