Before I got injured I thought that the Power Tower was only for dudes. I mean most women can't do pull ups or any of the body resistance moves that they are generally used for. Therefore I think we write them off not realizing the great body resistance workout we are missing. That being said, […]
Since everyone loved the first Quinoa Granola recipe so much (my real family and blog family) I decided to make more with a different flavor. This one came out barely sweet with a hint of vanilla. It’s perfect for topping yogurt or fruit with, but good enough to eat straight out of the jar. ' You can […]
Hello, blog world! Guess what I did tonight? If you randomly guessed almost lose a toe or many toes by taking an ice bath, you’d be right. Okay, so I didn't look up this whole ice bath thing before I did it. All I know is now I have to go for an MRI because […]
Meditate daily... does three times count? I have to say the times that I did meditate I felt more centered and well rested. Especially when I found myself upset about my injury and not being able to run/weight lift I found meditating extremely helpful. It helped me move through the I’m sad, I feel sorry […]
Even though the game wasn’t great and the commercials weren’t new, the half time show was good and the food was AWESOME. Here is a glimpse of our super bowl party eats…
It's confession time, I have a really bad habit of not throughly washing some of my produce items. This especially applies to 5am when I'm making my green juice. Don't get me wrong, I "rinse" my produce, but it is definitely without as much care as should be taken. Sometimes I make the "it's organic" […]
Welcome to Friday (I'm doing a little dance as I type I'm so happy it's Friday)! I don't know about you but I'm so looking forward to this weekend. Friday nights are my favorite, especially lately because they've been date night with the hubby. Usually we hit up a new or favorite spot, or cook […]
Morning Green Juice: My morning green juice has really been filling me up lately it's kind of crazy, I'm not getting hungry till after 9am! This morning I was fighting the urge to ditch my brought from home breakfast for Einsteins. Then things got crazy so I couldn't leave anyway, I had a DIY Starbucks […]
1. Cheesy Quinoa Pizza Bites (GF, Vegetarian) Cheesy Quinoa Pizza Bites are a kid friendly totally customizable finger food that is sure to please everyone. Serve with spicy goat cheese marinara as dipping sauce for more sophisticated palates or use an easy jarred pizza sauce, whichever you chose these will be the first appetizer to […]
Good evening, hope your humpday wasn't too miserable. My sleep has been less than stellar so that meant I was dragging more than usual for a Wednesday. Oh well though I made it through and I'm almost ready for bed right after this post! Got my green juice on again this morning, a little parsley […]
Happy Humpday! Source ----> Story of my life! HA! This dip is the result of a jar of roasted red peppers from Trader Joe's. I intended to make it the same as my creamy hummus yogurt dip but with the jar of roasted red peppers added into the mix. As I was throwing things into […]
Another morning where I didn't really quite have time for green juice, but I decided to go for it anyway. I didn't sleep very well last night, so my body was definitely craving nutrients (and sleep but that wasn't in the cards.) Ever since Paul sent me this article, about the goitrigens in kale, I've […]
Before I share with you the easiest most delicious recipe I have shared yet on HH, let's recap last week's healthy habits challenge. Somehow I got the average over 7hours! (Wondering about this App? Check out my review on the Motion X 24/7 App--> click here.) I think one thing that really helped was going […]
Hi all, lets jump into this weeks healthy challenge! This week I'm going to try to get my stress level under a bit better control with practicing meditation. Study after study shows that even just 5 minutes daily can help balance hormones, decrease inflammation and lower blood pressure. Lately I've found it becoming more and […]
Happy Friday, you know I'm excited! TGIF, this short week flew by but it also felt so so long! Anyone have any fun plans this weekend? I think we will be taking it easy in the Shallal household. Okay on to the App review. Whole Pantry App Cost: $0.99 What is it? A predominately vegan […]
Hello and welcome to Thursday night, the night before the all needed and all amazing TGIF! Let me catch you up on my recent eats since I've been slacking on recapping and sleeping instead of double posting (part of this weeks healthy habits challenge.) Morning Juice Tuesday- Daily Green Juice Wednesday- Romaine, celery, cucumber, apples […]
I originally saw this idea in my Whole Pantry App (review coming Friday). After making a few adjustments this spread came out amazing, plus it's super easy to make. Since the spread calls for almond meal instead of whole almonds it doesn't require a super high power blender to make it happen. Plus, it's healthy […]
Today was awesome because I didn't have to work, but it also ended up being a "dump" day. In other words I avoided doing all the stuff I would normally do throughout the weekend and dumped it on Monday, which lead to a very busy day. I kept thinking I'll have time to blog, I'll […]
After reviewing my pathetic sleep data from the Motion X 24/7 App, I have decided this week I am going to have to focus on getting enough good quality sleep. Usually I get to bed with 6 to 6.5 hours of sleep available and call it 7. I usually don't fall asleep right away, so […]
