Today I had the great honor of giving a presentation about healthy eating to a group of nearly 40 young local gymnasts. These girls are on the competitive team at International Gymnastics and they train over 20 hours a week, including 4 hours after school every day. We talked about fueling their bodies for their [...]

Overnight Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
April 10, 2013 { 21 comments }Hola! I’m back in Charlotte where it’s sunny and 80 degrees. That’s how we do things in the South. It was 40 degrees and sleeting this time last week. Now we’ve fast-forwarded right into early summer. It will be 90 degrees before we know it. I LOVE IT. Okay, the real reason for this post [...]

Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free Mini Carrot Cake Cupcakes
April 5, 2013 { 15 comments }I can count the number of the times I’ve tried to bake desserts that skew more towards healthy than sinful and my experiences have mostly led me to believe that when you want a sweet, you just need to go for it. There was one incident where Pintest led me to believe it was a [...]

Pumpkin In The Morning
November 15, 2012 { 18 comments }Last night I wrote this whole post on 2012 and my feelings about all of the change and struggle that myself and everyone around me seem to be going through. I definitely questioned whether or not I really wanted to publish it because y’all know I have a hard time with the “putting myself out [...]

Coconut Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
September 16, 2012 { 20 comments }How’s that for a recipe title? It could also be known as “open the pantry and fridge and throw in everything that you have banana bread.” I had two bananas that were destined for the trash can if I didn’t find a use for them yesterday. I am a little over traditional banana bread so [...]

Weekend Eats + Banana Blueberry Pancake Recipe
August 12, 2012 { 26 comments }The whole house is clean and more organized than it’s been in months. I mopped, organized closets, did laundry, changed sheets, cleaned out drawers…the works. I even did some yard work and trimmed the front hedges. Unfortunately, it was miserable and I got at least 20 mosquito bites in the process. They are attracted to [...]

Easy and Healthy Banana Muffins
April 26, 2011 { 30 comments }I’m popping in with a lunch break update for you because I have a recipe to share! I buy bananas every week at the store and sometimes I end up with bananas that are a little past their prime…even for oatmeal. (I prefer bananas with brown spots for oatmeal because they are sweeter and mix [...]

Is anyone else a fan of breakfast for dinner? Before we get to the pancakes, let’s start at the beginning. Breakfast: overnight oats at my desk this morning. I was [...]

Pumpkin Banana Oatmeal
October 17, 2010 { 10 comments }Today I attended a workshop at my yoga studio from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. I needed a breakfast that would really stay with me and power me through a long day since I knew I wouldn’t want much for lunch. I know I’ve mentioned this before but it’s really hard for me to practice [...]

Overnight Oats
July 19, 2010 { 65 comments }I’ve received a lot of questions lately about overnight oats – how they’re prepared, do you eat them cold, what exactly are they. I promised that I would share my go-to recipe and explain how I make them. Overnight oats are eaten cold. They are a mixture of milk, yogurt, oats and whatever else you [...]
