Live Fit and Sore

Mother Nature Isn’t Done With Us Yet

SNOW is what greeted me when I woke up this morning. SNOW is what happened mid-March – mere weeks before spring. SNOW is what made me cranky today. School was cancelled, gym was closed, and it’s cold. I am so over winter – it’s overstayed its welcome. I am all for seasons but it’s time…

What Do You Feed Your Dog?

I am in the process of considering rescuing a dog — I don’t really want a puppy, dealing with the dreaded puppy stage. I know they are cute and all but I would rather skip that part and find a two-three year old doggy in need of a good home. Did you know that according…

Life is Short: Enjoy Every Day

Cancer has been on mind the past day or so- and it sucks plain and simple. It sucks for famous people, young people, old people, fit and unfit people.

Did You know? Certain Foods Create Mucus

The resulting cakes have crispy outsides that just beg you to bite through them into the irresistible flavor inside. In fact, you may want to make a double recipe; these are sure to…

Stupid Easy Paleo: Cinnamon French Toast Panna Cotta

Who doesn’t love French Toast? All the favorite French toast flavors: the butteriness from the ghee, richness from the egg yolks, warmth from cinnamon and of course a bit of sweet from maple syrup. A bit of crumbled crispy bacon on top gives a savory counterpoint to the sweetness. And of course, I used coconut…

Rest in Peace Aunt Barbara

My aunt died yesterday. She was my Dad’s only sister and only sibling. I had only met her a handful of times at most in my life. Our family has a history of estrangement and other odd family relationships. My Dad and her didn’t speak for many, many years and making the effort to be…

The Winter That Never Ends…

This week has been really odd for me – just feeling really sluggish and unmotivated. I think it’s the lack of sunlight and all this snow. I am so sick of winter – I don’t mind the seasons, but man, this winter has gone on forever. I wanted to follow up with my post from…
