I'm reading Jon Acuff's book, "Punch fear in the face, escape average and do work that matters", and I love this quote! I've found this to be so enlightening. At the beginning of the year, after quite a big life epiphany, I decided to follow the path where I felt pulled/lead. A close family member had a critical life event...Continue reading

Homemade tortilla chips recipe
I've got to tell you, I LOVE CHIPS! After eating clean, though, the regular store bought or fresh restaurant chips just won't cut it anymore. I find them too greasy and too salty after having followed clean eating for six months now. Pretty crazy that I'm not the same chip fan I used to be. Before I started eating right...Continue reading

My daughter is learning to eat healthy, too!
My daughter's breakfast today!... Since our daughter sees me share pix of some of my meals in my accountability groups (we share meal ideas with each other among other things), she asked me to post her breakfast today. Funny how our kids see everything we do. So here is L's breakfast: plain Greek yogurt with cinnamon and vanilla, pears, strawberries and...Continue reading
