Donuts are one of those magical foods. Whenever I have one I am instantly happy. They are so light and fluffy and sugary. If I could I would eat a strawberry frosted donut with sprinkles from DD every. But unforgettably, that just doesn’t follow along with a healthy diet! So enter these baked protein donuts:… Continue reading Protein Donuts
I spent the last week in Illinois visiting friends and family. It was so much fun and nice to catch up with everyone for the holiday. The one thing that was missing from my week was working out! I took the dogs on long walks everyday (longer than their usual in SC), and went on… Continue reading Fit Friday
Okay. So I have a HUGE sweet tooth. So big that I made my boyfriend grow a sweet tooth. He used to not be a big fan of them, but now he wants dessert almost as much as me! I feel like dinner is never finished without something sweet. I always have a bag of… Continue reading Healthy Spice Cake
Something about new playlists always make my workouts longer and more intense! Today was no difference. I was almost giddy on my way to the gym listening to my new playlist.

But paying $4 for it… not so amazing. I came straight home with my empty Starbucks cup,… Continue reading That Pink Drink

If it can fit in a shell, I’ll make it into a taco. Pulled BBQ pork tacos, mushroom gyro tacos, the list goes on. My… Continue reading Spicy Shrimp Tacos
I LOVE smoothies for breakfast. During the school year I always make one and drink it when I get to the office and check my emails and get my lesson material together for the day. But I have to admit towards the end of the school year I was getting lazy and using a lot… Continue reading Go-To Green Machine Smoothie
I have been thinking about creating a blog for a long time. But haven’t REALLY been preparing for it- AKA not taking pictures along the way. I also need to work on my picture taking skills. I don’t understand how some people’s pictures turn out so amazing, perfect lighting, angle, color. #goals. So even though… Continue reading Sweet Potato Nachos
I think I can say with confidence that EVERYONE loves Fixer Upper. Every time I watch the show I dream about finding a house to fix up or going to an antique store and finding accessories and pieces of furniture! So I was super excited when I saw an old dresser posted to my local… Continue reading DIY Dresser Entertainment Center
