Fall Crushes

August 16th, 2017Tina0 Comments

I know that it’s still August, but Fall is my favorite time of the year so I’m already looking forward to everything to do with it. Grab a cup a joe or whatever beverage you fancy (maybe a cold iced tea because it’s a hot summer day) and humor me while I share what I’m looking forward to about Fall. I won’t even judge you if you sneak some pumpkin spice into it. Fall fashion Booties. Nordstrom had their big annual sale recently so I bought these Steve Madden booties (in black) and these Hinge booties (in taupe). It was …

I could probably eat avocado toast every day and not get sick of it. That’s saying a lot because I get bored of eating the same thing over and over.

It’s really not rocket science. Sometimes eggs, other times not. It just depends on what you have and what you want to eat. I’m excited about today’s version of avocado toast because it includes a little …

I used an assortment of berries today because they’re in season (i.e. cheap and delicious). You can use …

Guys, I’ve been totally slacking on posts lately (if you hadn’t noticed). I’ve mentioned a few times recently that I’ve been focused on my workouts. I think I have a good routine going with those at this point. Now I figure it’s time that I buckle down and focus on eating healthier on a more regular basis (i.e. not just on Mondays). So many of my blog posts are about food, and in my attempts to be healthy mean that the recipes are a bit boring. Some aren’t even “real” recipes at all, but rather a bit of a write up …

Lately I’ve been trying to focus on eating healthier. For me that means I eat smaller meals and snacks throughout the day. I’m always looking for healthy snack ideas so I thought you might like to see what my favorites have been lately. Here are 5 healthy and easy snack ideas: Peanut Butter Sandwich. I don’t think that I can get tired of peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread. In an attempt to reduce the sugar, I’ve recently tried Nature’s Promise Organic No-Stir Crunchy Peanut Butter Spread. I can’t find a link for it online because it’s …
