Fall Crushes

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.

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 …

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 …
