“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. No truer words have ever been spoken by Hyppocrates. When I started my blog, I was just beginning to learn the effects of food on the body.

Crispy Baby Artichokes
Hi Lovelies! I am in Vegas on my last day with Zappos for the week, and guess what?! It is my three year anniversary!

Three Ways to Help Your Teen Reverse Obesity From Baptist Health South Florida
Many of you know that in my former days I was a high-school physical education teacher.

My Monthly Grocery Shopping List
Hi Sunshines! The past couple of days I have been shooting PGA Golf apparel with Perry Ellis.

Mommy’s Chicken Matzo Ball Soup
OK close your eyes. Think about your childhood. Think about the one thing your mom or dad would make for you, and just one taste would make everything alright in the world. For me, it was my moms ‘tummy tea’ (black tea with milk and sugar) and her famous Chicken Matzo Ball Soup. Or should I say, chicken soup with matzo …
Sweet, Salty, Crunchy Summer Shrimp Salad
Sweet, Salty, Crunchy, Spicy, this summer-salad has it all. If you follow me on snapchat [@Taylorwalkerfit] then you may have seen the picnic Cory and I had last week.
