I have way too much food right now, so I'm skipping the recipe this week. I thought about topic for this week's post, and I remembered living through perimenopause and how it affected my workouts and keeping my weight in check. It was definitely a wild ride and very challenging indeed. What is perimenopause? According to Johns [...]
I'm almost back to normal. I hope to start running at the beginning of next week. It's so important when you get sick to rest. If you try to push through, you are not giving your immune system a chance to do its job. The only thing I hate about being sick is being bored. I love that I can [...]
Happy New Year! Before I do a recipe with black eyed peas like I normally do, I wanted to first get something out of my freezer. I made the chocolate red wine cake with raspberry buttercream frosting and have a whole bunch of frosting in my freezer that I didn't use. So I looked for a recipe that [...]
https://twitter.com/BioLayne/status/1735324423371047214 Tweet from Dr. Layne Norton on motivation This week I wanted to address the study that Dr. Layne Norton mentioned in the tweet above.

I was hoping to have a new recipe this week, but I'm just getting back in the swing of things and I don't have enough room in the freezer to make a new dish. Which means it's a good time to address indulging during the holidays. There will be holiday dinners and treats at work. [...]
So much going on this week. I put new brake pads on my car. Ended up getting a bit of a workout doing so. Every time I do car work, I end up sweating a fair bit. Think about it, lifting heavy things and using some effort to loosen tight bolts. Not every workout has [...]
This is a repost of a post from the very beginning. I am traveling and will post new content next week. There are lots of great recipes out there. You can find them all over the Internet. You probably also have a ton of cookbooks at home. When you start eating healthier, does that mean [...]
Since I have some chickpeas left over and I wanted to add to my repertoire of vegan recipes, I am doing a chickpea dish. I'm doing this for my sister-in-law too. One of the things I noticed when she cooked for us was the lack of protein in the dish. Everyone should eat enough protein. [...]
I'm finally in the mix working on our old house. Back to more physical labor. Even though we are not doing as much to this house as we did on our new one, it's still a lot. When you live in a house for a long time there is a lot of wear and tear [...]
I love piña coladas, however, the calorie count for these is sky high. It is the drink of summer. Fun fact - I hate summer. I know I am one of the few people on this planet who hates warm weather. I never liked it in the first place, and now couple that with feeling [...]
