This post was sponsored by Sunshine Sweet Corn as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. It’s no secret corn has been one of my favorite (and now Maximo’s) foods of all time. I still remember how traumatic it was to have to cut the corn off the cob for those lonely years I had braces. Please these teeth… Keep Reading
How Do You Yogurt?
If you haven’t heard lately – I am a dairy lover. Born and raised with the cows themselves, I have always found plenty reasons to keep milk items in my fridge. From those frothy days of fresh cream skimmed right off the top of the bucket (true story!) to fresh churned butter and creamy yogurts, the kitchen has and always will be full of happy cow products. I might be… Keep Reading
Squeezables Vs. The Truck Stop
I look back at my twenties and wonder, how did I have so much time? To lay around and do nothing but watch bad movies, eat the worst foods imaginable and still have more time to get to work as a bartender or get my nails done. I’ve give anything for it not to be 6:45am on a Saturday IN PITTSBURGH and be up writing this. The life of a… Keep Reading
#TreatYoSelf with Brio because Brio Loves You Back
Boys will be boys. They love getting dirty, jumping off couches, laying around in their underwear and of course, eating – A LOT. So if they are going to be tossing back containers of ice cream, I’d prefer it to be something slightly better for them. As you know, we’re big fans of eliminating artificial ingredients and GMOs here, and they can sneak up on you in places you don’t… Keep Reading
Hello, It’s Jenny Craig Calling For Your Tight Pants!
This post was sponsored by Jenny Craig as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central, and all opinions expressed are my own. If there’s one thing you need to know about me (if you don’t already), it’s that I like to eat! My whole life schedule is revolved around it. If it can’t be apart of the plans (because I ask in advance) then I’m not getting dressed. And… Keep Reading
Make a PACt to Cut Sugar
The constant struggle between tasting good and calories and mounds of sugar. Instant happiness or long term healthy weight happiness – that is the question. I don’t know about you, but as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of food and drink, I’m always looking for new releases from my favorite companies to see how they can outdo themselves in terms of flavor and health. Ocean Spray has released a new brand of… Keep Reading
Surviving Summer Cravings and Bad Food Decisions
This post was sponsored by Meta Appetite Control as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Summer is hard. Hard to balance health, self and parenting. Kids are off school so that means your daily workout routine is off, you’re traveling more, and let’s be honest – most of that traveling revolves around the kids and “kid food.” Meta Appetite Control has been a life saver for me these last couple… Keep Reading
Meta Appetite Control Saves The Summer Diet
This post was sponsored by Meta Appetite Control as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. May and June are always the most hectic months of the year for me. Basically, I spend more time traveling all over than in my own bed. And – traveling can be detrimental to your diet. Especially when you’re training for another upcoming half marathon in Memphis for St. Jude and traveling to… Keep Reading
What’s On The School Lunch Menu: Kidfresh
Listen, if you haven’t discovered Kidfresh yet, I am going to let you in on a little secret. No matter HOW much I write about cooking from scratch, it DOESN’T HAPPEN EVERY DAY. Listen, I go through ups and downs just like you – such as at this moment I am choosing to write you something extremely witty instead of cooking dinner. That’s for your personal chef. Oh wait, you… Keep Reading
Transitioning to Tofu
Tofu get’s a bad name, but really, it’s one of the most versatile foods to eat. It can take on the flavor of anything you’re cooking it with, allowing it to take the place of almost any “meat” you want to substitute it with, and still get that protein. The reason it gets a bad name is because you’re probably not cooking (or preparing it) properly. Just like you would… Keep Reading
