Most of the times when I go to the grocery store and check out the granola cereal or pre-made granola bars sugar or some form of it (agave, honey, brown rice syrup, coconut sugar, maple syrup, stevia, pure cane sugar, etc.) is in the top five ingredients. Time out! "Jo, Stevia is a natural calorie-free …
So I've been hovering around 175-180 lbs for about 2 months. Nothing is budging. Some days I'm 180, some days I'm 175. My weight has been hanging around this zone for awhile. This has happened before when I was at the 200-ish mark and I overcame it by tracking calories and cheat-mealing. So now...how do …
So I stumbled across this recipe on my favorite clean eating website iFoodReal. I didn't have high hopes for it because this required all raw ingredients and nothing but a freezer and double-boiler (optional). I gave it whack anyways and was absolutely blown away by how amazing these balls were! I kid you not, they taste …

So I really struggled for naming today's recipe. This is the best I could come up with. If you have a better suggestion, please let me know. I found this recipe somewhere online a few months ago. I added my own changes to make it what I feel is even better. It's a high-protein, high-healthy-fat, …

I made these up one day because I was craving meatballs but didn't want the extra calories. No extra sauce is needed, as these are super flavorful. Usually I'll serve them with some sauteed zucchini noodles (or zoodles, for your hip cats) with no-sugar-added marinara sauce (minimal ingredients) and a teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese. …

I'm in the process of packing up for my trip to Hawaii. We are bringing a bunch of healthy snacks so that we are less tempted to munch on garbage when we're there. Mind you, I'm still planning on eating some radical meals and having umbrella drinks when I'm there. So yesterday I made my …
My husband and I got married back in November of 2015. We were unable to take our honeymoon right after we got married so we waited until the following summer. The plan was to go to Belize in June 2016. Long story short, we ended up having to cancel our trip last minute. So this …
