If any of you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I shared a “story” from my date night at the B&N book store. In my story I shared about how I was looking at the cookbooks and noticed something too obvious not to share. It had been about a year since I had been to a bookstore (because, life with a one year old), and what I noticed was that the cookbooks had a whole new trend in diets than the last time I had been in. The cookbooks always seem to follow the trend of the most...

For most of my life I hated exercise. These negative feelings originated all the way back to my middle school years. I believed I was completely doomed when it came to sports or anything active; Which resulted in me never trying out for or participating in any sports, and a lack of motivation to even try. Fast forward a few years when I started to try to exercise in high school and college. I did what I thought was best and went to the gym where I spent hours on the elliptical, treadmill, or...

Here are some of my favorite clean eating finds at Trader Joes!

I highly recommend having some frozen veggies in your freezer at all times, so when you are in a pinch you have a source of vegetables ready to go in...

When it comes to eating healthy, sometimes half of the battle is making choices that are quick and easy to prepare.

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

Hi! I’m Kaci! I presently work full time practicing Family Medicine as a Public Health Physician Assistant. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Dietetics. I am married and have a “fur-baby,” Tabb, who I would describe as a dog trapped inside a cat’s body! I grew up on a farm in Florida, but moved to the Alabama coast in 2007 and have lived here ever since.

Growing up, I was not what one would call a physically active kid. I enjoyed sports, but outside of the...

The dictionary defines vision as the act or power of imagination. (Merriam-Webster, 2016); When we actively use our imaginations to produce vision, it is incredibly powerful.

I am a firm believer that our lives will head in the direction of our vision, and we can't make lasting change in any area of our lives without it.

As powerful as it is however, vision often doesn't...

Let me start by saying that I typically never post pictures like these, and I probably never will again; But I have a message that has been burning on my heart, and so I share these photos with a purpose. Today I am sharing these pictures and being open about my personal journey because I think it is important that we as women see transformation pictures with a different kind of message. It wasn't easy to decide to share these pictures, not because i'm ashamed of them, but because I didn't...

I tried extreme dieting in 2010 and while I would lose weight, as soon as I stopped a regimen, I gained everything back ... plus some! I found Dashing Dish after I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition because even with medication therapy, I still felt horrible and I realized I needed to completely change my lifestyle. I was only 31 years old at the time and had little to no energy to sustain me for basic daily living.

I began using Dashing Dish for the past few years, and I have made our...
