For most of us, the cooler weather is here or just around the corner! With that in mind, we put together a list of freezer-friendly soup and chili recipes which you can make-ahead and have on hand in your freezer when needed. For any recipe which calls for adding dairy at the end (cheese, milk, or Greek yogurt) simply wait to add after you thaw.

Tracking progress beyond the scale begins when we shift our mindset from...
1. The Scale to Our Health
2. Formulas and Plans to Mindful Eating
3. Calories in Food to the Quality of Food
4. Will Power to Awareness of How our Body Feels
5. Exercise to Lose Weight to Enjoying Movement
6. Emotional Eating to Physical Nourishment
7. Change Excuses to Choices
I really like Publix Supermarkets because they have a wonderful produce and meat selection, which are two things I am very picky about. They also carry a lot of the less-common healthy items that you used to have to order online or go to a health food store to find. For those of you who have them locally, here is a peek into the items I purchase on a routine basis at Publix Supermarket!
Tip: One of my favorite ways to save money is to buy items when they have a BOGO sale. They will also honor...
It was the summer of 1998. I was fourteen years old when my dad came to my two sisters and I and informed us that we would be moving from the only home we have ever known in suburban Michigan to a small town in Wisconsin. My dad worked as an administrator for a small health care agency which was experiencing layoffs, forcing him to find a new job. This kind of news would be shocking to any family, much less when you are a shy fourteen year old about to enter her first year of high school. My...
In a recent article, I shared with you my new found love for Walmart shopping thanks to online ordering and curbside pick-up. For years I avoided shopping at Walmart. I avoided it for a couple of reasons; I did not enjoy the experience of the in-store shopping. I also held a preconceived belief that they only sold "junk" or low-quality food choices. Though I don't do all of my shopping at Walmart and do supplement my shopping with quite a few health food store options, I specifically chose to...

When we set out to accomplish a goal, we often make one of two errors. We either try to do everything on our own, relying on our own wisdom, strength, and ability. Or, we pray and ask God to help us, but we fail to do our part. I have found that it is only when we actively engage in a partnership with God that the impossible suddenly becomes possible. After all, He never intended us to do anything on our own, so it would be foolish to imagine that we can accomplish anything apart from Him.

It’s back-to-school season! By the end of summer I’m ready for a good healthy dose of routine! In our home, back-to-school means more structure which makes consistent healthy habits much more manageable.

Let's face it...we all know life is too busy and it just isn't practical to spend a whole day on your weekend in the kitchen. This meal prep is an example of a way to prep meals for one person for the M-F work week and not get bored (or spend your entire weekend doing so). Trust me, when I first started meal prepping (if you include grocery shopping, prepping, and cleaning up,) I spent almost all day to have things ready. I didn't mind it at first, but now, my goal is to spend as little time...
Time. It’s the one commodity I never seem to have enough of, can you relate?
I’ve become very intentional about how I spend my time. I took a close (and admittedly painful) look at how I spend my precious 24-hours. I knew I needed to challenge myself to manage them more efficiently and more purposefully. The challenge resulted in several life changes. You can read more about that here. Today though, I'm talking specifically about changes to how I grocery shop to help manage and increase my...
