Gluten free cookies have come a long way in the past six or so years. This is both good and bad. Good for my taste buds but bad for my waistline. I feel like I’ve been inhaling cookies for the past few months. When I was first diagnosed pickings were slim. And it seemed every cookie was “thin and crispy” which have never been my favorites. But lately we’ve gottne so many more options. Even Read more
March 27th, 2021 is a date I won’t soon forget. My alarm went off at 4:30 am and I got dressed, ate a honey stinger waffle, and headed out the door at 5 am to start round one of the Yeti Challenge. Yup, I somehow managed to sign up to run 5 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours. I’m not sure why I went along with this plan. But, I kept going out every Read more

We eat a lot of salsa in our house. There is usually a jar in the fridge and two to three backups in the pantry. We put that ish on everything. Tacos. Burritos. Eggs. Chips. Salad. I am always willing to try new salsa. And this week I was lucky enough to receive a box of salsa from Sam’s Famous Salsa. We happened to be having carne asada tacos for dinner that night so the Read more

Are there other ways to reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying what the earth has to offer? First, what is ecotourism? It is defined as traveling responsibly to a natural place with an emphasis on conservation. Some even including “improving the Read more
I love planning. I love being green as well. Sometimes these don’t go together. I am old school in that I need to write things down. I love having notebooks and planners to jot down a note. I use paper planners for work, my business, and my personal life. I can’t quit them! But I also feel a pull to do what I can to save the earth. I’ve tried to use google calendar. I’ve Read more
Many people tend to equate a gluten-free diet with low carb. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I find that hilarious. I am gluten-free and completely addicted to carbs. They are some of my favorite foods! And I’m always excited to try new carbs. As a blogger for the Nourished Festival, I received many samples. So many, I am combining two into this post (plus I am going to have more reviews with the next Nourished Fest this month). So Read more
I think Kermit said it best, “it’s not easy being green”. It seems everything comes in single-serve plastic these days. It’s hard to find things packaged in cardboard or glass. It’s plastic, plastic, plastic. We are a world obsessed with plastic. We all know we should recycle. We check our city code, follow their rules, and put our bins out once a week. But is there anything else we can do? Some things are easier Read more
Do you ever wonder, how can I be environmentally friendly and still get in shape or workout? I know I do. My workouts are pretty green but are my clothes? And the laundry detergent I use to clean my gross workout gear? More companies are starting to make gear with recycled water bottles or other materials, but it’s not as common as we’d like yet. You can look for clothes made from sustainable materials like Read more
