[show_shopthepost_widget id=”2785874″] You may have been hearing all about collagen lately from TV to magazines to your favorite blogs. I started using collagen protein peptides about a year ago when to “upgrade” my coffee with coconut oil, butter and collagen. I have kicked the butter to the curb a little while ago as I do not follow a strict Ketosis …
Strict meal plans work for some people and others like flexibility! I LOVE flexibility and a flexible meal planning is the only way find balance in my hectic life. I love to cook.

Can you believe it is the weekend again?! Wahoo! I am so excited. If you are anything like me then you are still trying to detox from the long holiday, but are looking forward to another couple of days off. Lately, I have been trying to find ways to re-create some of Cory’s favorites, but still keep them light enough …

Not only are they super low in cost ($1.99-$2.79), but the tiny bean is totally versatile and packed with tons of health benefits! Today, it is my hope to encourage you to begin to add them to your diet one soup, wrap or snack at a time! You can …
My husband is an Ohio guy through and through. He loves meat and potatoes and has little to no concept of portion control. If you would have told me four years ago last year that he would be eating quinoa, kale and black bean burgers I would have thought you were N-U-T-S. These days, he still likes to indulge, but …
Hello and happy humpday friends. I woke up on Monday and made Cory and I a detox drink to kickstart our day. A morning detox has been a ritual of mine for the past few years, and I have to say, it is something I look forward to every morning. Drinking water, a natural detox drink, the second you wake …
Natalie Castro is an RD from Baptist Health South Florida, and today, she has compiled a list of benefits on why you should fuel your body with plant protein. Today’s post is not to encourage all of the steak lovers out there to turn vegetarian, but rather, debunk the myth you cannot get adequate amounts of protein from a plant-based …
Chicken salad has always been one of those “take it or leave it” kind of dishes for me. I was never a big fan of it until I tried some at a bbq that gave me “all the feels”! Salty, sweet, crunchy, spicy and tangy. I have been a lover of the dish ever since. Fat, as we know, can …
Happy Tuesday everyone! I am back today with Baptist Health South Florida discussing a really important topic…cancer. Cancer has affected almost every single person I know in one way, shape or form. Cancer is influenced by two main factors; genetics and lifestyle choices including: tobacco, diet, alcohol, and obesity. According to recent studies and the American Cancer Society, this also means that …
Guys! This recipe was a total happy accident. I really did not feel like going to the grocery story so I decided to play ‘Chopped’, Taylor Walker Fit style. Cory and I have been traveling a ton so I have not had much time to cook. I know the blog has been a bit light on the recipe side, but …
Yesterday was Presidents Day. Which for most simply means a day off from your routine. I usually have Mondays off and use them as the day to reset my system and move on from the questionable food choices I may have made on Saturday and Sunday. . Since the beginning, my blog has been all about helping myself and others live …
Can you believe it is almost spring? I know the Northeast is about to get hit with another snow storm, but it feels like it was just the holidays season and summer will be here before we know it. The birds will be chirping, the flowers will be blooming and warmer days will be upon us in the blink of an eye. …
Hi guys! It is almost the weekend, and you know what that means, another chance for R & R! Woop woop! I wanted to get another post up this week because I will be heading out on a cruise line job for seven days, and likely will not be able to blog until February. Can you believe we are almost …
Potato Skins, Wings and Beer! Are those top on your list for Super Bowl weekend? Honestly, in our household, buffalo chicken dip reigns supreme on game day. It is not something I make often because Cory and I can literally consume the whole bowl in one sitting. Add in an extra long toasted french baguette, and we are ready to …
South Beach Diet, Paleo, Atkins, Gluten Free. There are so many different types of diets out there that is sometimes hard to weed through it all! I have to be honest with you, I have tried my fair share of nutrition trends like: juicing, oil-pulling, keto, bulletproof and Mediterranean. Some have stuck like my daily bulletproof coffee and probiotics, but …
