Kona Grill is one of my favorite restaurants because it has two of my favorite things: salmon and sushi. Whenever I go there I order the same appetizer and then always have a tough decision for my entree. The menu has a wide variety of options ranging from salads, sushi, chicken, and salmon. I’ve heard…

Hi Friends! I’m so excited to be sharing my trip to Portland with you all. I have so much to share that I’m going to be doing this in three parts so keep staying tuned 🙂 Day 1 We were so excited to go to Portland to see Lauren. Kristen dropped us off at the…
I absolutely love eating oats for breakfast. They're an excellent carb source and keep me full all morning long. I usually eat microwaveable packets because they're so convenient, but they can include unnecessary sugar (this is why they taste so good). This recipe that Jon created has no added sugar because of the sweetener, and tastes almost like you're eating dessert. The PB2…
I finally made it back to NYC for the first time since my Valentine’s Day Weekend. I planned this trip to give me something to look forward to during busy season. I took off Friday and then flew out at 1:45pm. My flight out was so easy and I didn’t have any delays. I worked…
After our workout in Brooklyn, we were pretty hungry and wanted to grab a bite. We went to Pies’N’Thighs, which is a little hole in the wall type place. It was pretty small inside and very quaint. They played 50s music that was really catchy and had a homey vibe. It reminded me of being…

Jon flew in to see me for Easter, so last Friday we had a much needed sushi date night. We hadn't seen each other for about six weeks, and during that time we always talked about getting sushi, so needless to say we were excited. We went to Shiro in Novi. I have been there…
I’m going to start linking up with the first blogger I ever read, Shay Shull, for my What’s Up posts. Each month I’ll be answering the following questions: What I’m eating: I’ve been obsessed with my Guilt Free: Chocolate Protein Mug Cake, if only I could make it at work 2. What I’m reminiscing about:…
I’ve always seen people make mug cakes, but never attempted to make one until I made this. I WAS MISSING OUT! This smells and tastes just like a chocolate muffin, but is full of protein. This mug cake is super low carb and protein packed, the perfect diet food when you’re craving something sweet. This…
