I always loved pasta salad as a kid, but stopped eating it when I started my paleoesque diet. I didn't eat any kind of noodle or processed food that contained gluten. I got so accustomed to eating gluten free that I never craved pasta anymore. Trader Joe's has great alternatives to pasta that are gluten…

I used to eat noodles all of the time, but stopped eating them when I saw how many carbs was in a serving. In college I discovered spaghetti squash and I wouldn’t say it changed my life, but it did expand the variety of meals I prepped. This recipe is low carb and high volume,…

Granite City is one of my go-to restaurants in Michigan. I go pretty frequently for work and there's one by my house. The past month and a half I went three times, and for the first time ever, got something different each time. If you know me, then you know there's a 99% chance I…

I’ve recently started liking guacamole, but I still don’t like avocados. Makes sense right? I always eat this with my Guilt Free Nachos; it’s so delicious and a great source of healthy fat. Ingredients: 2 Avocados ¼ Cup salsa 1 ½ TBS Lime Juice Salt to taste, we use a lot of salt ½ Cup onions…
I saw Black Tap on Instagram and was mesmerized by the outrageous looking milkshakes. My sister Kris went there when she visited NYC and sent me some drool worthy snaps. I knew that Jon and I had to go the next time I was in NYC. The weather was pretty terrible, it was rain/snowing…
Full body workouts are great if you're crunched for time or are getting into lifting. When I first got into lifting I would pick one exercise for each muscle group, which is what this workout entails. Now I am on a training program but will do a full body if I'm traveling and can't get…
I saw recipes on Pinterest for pancakes with only two ingredients: eggs and a banana. I ended up tweaking the recipe a little to make it a banana bread instead of pancake. The pancake was really hard to flip because the batter was so thin. Ingredients: 1 Banana 2 Eggs 1/4 Tsp Vanilla 1/2 Tsp…
