Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas

Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas

Since I’m back on my health kick I knew I needed something else besides my lean shakes to have in the morning. My Lean shakes are great for when I’m in a rush and I want to have breakfast on the train but now that I’ve been getting up at 4:30am for my morning workouts I have more than enough time to sit down and enjoy something a little more appetizing.  Years ago when I was on Weight Watchers I used to make these Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas. They were my absolute fave and I loved how I could…

Adjusting to Weight loss in my Thirties

Adjusting to Weight loss in my Thirties

My body definitely isn’t what it used to be. Realizing this and learning to accept it has been the hardest thing for me to grasp mentally. I’ve always been pretty confident but when I look back at pictures of me sharing my outfit of the day I can’t help but get depressed at how  much weight I’ve allowed just to pile up on my body.

I hadn’t had Indian food in years and so when my lab buddies said they were going out for Indian the other day I was all like “oh yall…

When my husband and I first moved in together we decided upon a cooking schedule were we each cook three days a week. Since I was all “let me impress my man” I was getting down with the getting down in the kitchen and all he was serving me was baked Chicken breast, brown rice, and a vegetable steam bag. Seriously yall it was rough! I finally got tired of him not trying and announced that I would no longer eat his bachelor meals and that he needed to put some effort into his cooking.  Now ladies as you know…

Fresh from the Garden: Zucchini Soup

Fresh from the Garden: Zucchini Soup

      This summer was the first time I tried my hand at growing my own Zucchini and Squash and I’ll admit it’s been one huge lesson after another. Next year, I think I’m going to stick with Zucchini as it’s proven to be a bit more prolific than the squash and we’ve been getting Zucchini that are absolute whoppers. One of my favorite recipes to make from all our Zucchini, beside the Zucchini Nachos has been Zucchini soup.  When I posted a picture of the bowl of soup on Instagram a while back it was received very well…
