    Last weekend, MOON hosted their annual Chili Cook Off Fundraiser!! Last year, they hosted a similar cook off that I posted about at their store, but this one is much bigger It is held in a nearby church, and hundreds of people from the community come. I’d say there are about 10 different chili’s to […]

  • Weekly Workouts: WSU & Mental Bodyweight Squats

    (stop at WF on the way home on Sunday! Piccadilly’s was closed… ) Well, it has been a busy weekend! I don’t think I’ve slept more than 4-5 hours since last Thursday night! (And only 2 last night! I don’t know how I am currently functioning…) I guess my body knew what was coming, I […]

  • WIAW- whole30 & cooking

    Happy What I Ate Wednesday folks!, a day where bloggers and foodies alike share a day of eats. It’s been a while since I’ve don’t one, but I keep on reading! Today, though, I’m not sharing a *full* day. Just dinner/evening meals- the interesting stuff and the stuff I was able to take pictures of! […]

  • Weekly Workouts (its’ back!)

    Last year, I did a weekly workouts/eats recap and my prep post. I’m bringing those back as I start BBG and W30, and just to document my progress and thoughts! Week “1”: Getting back into the swing of working out after being sick was hard. rough. ROUGHER than rough. and I’m making this point because […]

  • Edamame Spread (& W30 musings)

    Some days, I find myself seriously slacking in protein. People commonly ask what are vegetarian/vegan protein sources, and well, there are actually a lot!

  • Weekly Eats and Workouts- Finally Summer & POGA

    Hello from hot and sunny Ohio! Gosh, I thought I’d never be able to say that, given our weather the past few months! I was driving home from the gym yesterday, and when I got home and turned off my car, I thought, “Gosh it’s so hot my car never cools down!” (black car probs). […]

  • soft & fluffy gingerbread–molasses cookies

    Ginger is definitely one of my favorite spices, riiiiiight next to cinnamon. I use it in just about everything, since it’s good in sweet and savory food!One of the reasons I love ginger is because it aids in digestion and helps with upset stomachs, which I get often *cough IBS cough *sadface* * I also […]

  • Lemon & Herb Baked Tofu Cubes

    Growing up, my mom loved tofu and I HATED it. I mean, it was gross. bleh. gag. Whatever else you can think of. BUT, that was only because I’d only tried it when we ate out- and it was usually fried and covered in some stir fry sauce. Ew. (My mom still loves and eats […]

  • Post-Workout Berry & Greens Smoothie

    Boy have I missed my Vitamix. Well really, my kitchen. My freezer. Pantry. Fridge. Space. Fruit. Get the point?! Last night, I couldn’t sleep. One of those things where I had nothing to get up for, but (well actually I did, but no school!), so I just stayed up late aimlessly. This morning I had […]

  • Mashed Cauliflower

    As I started to write this, I realized I talk a lot about food I ate growing up, because that’s what inspires me to cook now. I LOVD mashed potatoes, and my mom made the BEST. Seriously- all my friends asked for it. They key was a lot of sour cream to make it tangy, […]
