Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Heart to Endure Survivor Series
Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Last month, I teamed up with One Beat CPR to present the Heart Health series, and today I want to share a fantastic opportunity that they’re offering in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As part of the Heart to Endure-Survivor Series, One Beat CPR is providing free CPR certification for breast cancer survivors throughout the month of October. One Beat CPR, South Florida’s premier CPR & First Aid Training Center, recognizes October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month with an initiative that helps cancer survivors save...

I love holidays, especially the ones where it’s considered appropriate to prepare themed foods and brightly-colored desserts. Valentine’s Day? Yes. Washington’s birthday? Not so much. So in honor of the 4th of July, check out these adorable and tasty-looking treats and beverages that are perfect for the holiday: Red, White & Blue Sangria America’s Birthday Cake Grown-Up Fruity Sangria Popsicles Yellow Cake Pie with Chocolate Mousse White Strawberry-Lemon Sangria Berry Bliss Rocket Pops If you’re a mom, you know how it goes – after baby is...
Read MoreFriday Favorites: June 22nd
Another week complete, another list of faves: Ketchup: it’s convenient, it’s a summer BBQ staple and it’s an easy way to get kids (and ourselves) to eat healthy foods. But most brands are highly processed, not to mention loaded with undesirable ingredients like HFCS. That’s why I’m determined to make the switch to homemade ketchup, and I’m starting off with these two recipes from Two Tarts and Skinnytaste. Getting bored with my workout routine is probably my single biggest fitness problem, which is why I just bookmarked this post about Fresh Workout Ideas...

Yes, I finally upgraded my Friday Favorites logo! This week’s list of faves is kinda short, but there hasn’t been a whole lot of fitness info. on my radar lately since I’m not really working out anymore. BUT there’s always time for food, right? Let’s get started: This actually isn’t a new recipe (so it’s quite possible I’ve featured it in Friday Favorites before) but this Poached Egg on Toast with Chipotle Mayo, Bacon and Avocado is calling to me…a perfect Father’s Day breakfast, no? Speaking of Father’s Day, my husband pretty...
Read MoreOatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes
To be honest, I’ve never been able to get on board with the “healthy pancakes” trend. I gave protein pancakes a few tries with no success, which led me to determine pancakes simply aren’t meant to be health food; they’re to be enjoyed in all their buttery, syrupy goodness on a Sunday morning when it’s perfectly acceptable to enter a carb-and-sugar coma after breakfast. But last weekend I woke up thinking about oatmeal pancakes. I don’t know what inspired the idea, but a quick Google search revealed it’s not an original one. Still, I loved the...
Read More(Yet Another) Blog Makeover
Unless you’re viewing this in a reader, you’ve probably noticed I gave my blog a visual makeover. And if you’ve been reading for a few months (thank you, by the way!) you know it’s not the first time. I’ve been playing around with layouts and themes ever since I started the blog, and I think I’ve finally found one I’m happy with – at least for now! I’m still tweaking a few things, including background color, so please forgive any weirdness you might notice on the blog over the next few days. I should have it all figured out soon. Moving...
