If you knew that there was a severe storm headed your direction, would you prepare for it? Most of us would probably say, “Yes! I would prepare.”
I live in Colorado, so I have prepared for many winter snow storms. If I knew one was imminent, I’d prepare by going to the store to stock up on food. I’d make sure I had candles and warm clothes in case the power went out. I’d charge my handheld devices. The opportunity to prepare is the advantage of knowing the storm is coming. It’s pretty...
Being that it is currently January, I know that the nature of this topic may not be the most popular. After all, isn’t January supposed to be the month of New Year New You, which all begins with the latest fad diet!? If you have ever taken a ride on the diet roller coaster, you may already know that the results produced from a diet are just that; A high, (cue: yeah I’ve lost weight)…followed by an inevitable low, (cue: oh no, I’ve gained the weight back and then some).
There is a reason that...
Step 1: Do a Clean Sweep of Your Kitchen!
The goal of cleaning out and organizing your pantry is to get rid of tempting foods that aren't good for your health, and replace them with nutritious foods that are well organized, which will make cooking and baking a breeze!
Focus on getting rid of processed foods, starting with foods that are made with white flour and sugar. Replace these items with “Clean, Whole, Unprocessed” Foods.
Here are some great swap outs to get you on your way to a clean...
Diets. Don't. Work. We have all heard the phrase, yet so many people find themselves going back to the quick fix solutions that didn't work in the past! I always say, if you can't stick with it long term, you already know it is doomed for failure. So...If diets don't work, what will!?!
Here at Dashing Dish we are all about creating healthy mindsets and long term healthy habits, which is why we try to make living a healthy lifestyle simple and enjoyable! If you are looking for the best place to...

What are the first things I should pay attention to when reading a food label?
Start by looking at the ingredients on a food label. The first few ingredients will help you distinguish if the item is actually good for you, or if the label is just ‘selling’ the product as healthy. For example, when you look at a loaf of bread, the label may say “whole grain”, but if the first few ingredients are white or whole wheat flour, you probably know that it is not in fact whole grain.
In addition to...
We all know that moving our body is an important aspect to overall healthy living. When dealing with some sort of physical limitation (pregnancy, sickness, fatigue, travel, etc) or injury though, that can feel like a hard and frustrating thought. Today, I’m going to talk about how to deal with physical challenges and offer my thoughts on how to “exercise” self-kindness when your body requires it.
Regardless of why you may need to modify physical exercise, I believe there is one important...
One of the most common questions I get from people who want to commit to a healthy lifestyle is, “how do you meal prep?” We talk a lot about the importance of meal prepping and how being prepared contributes to overall, long-term success in healthy eating. I find however, that many people feel overwhelmed by the thought of it and it is enough to keep them from even starting. Let me tell you, I’ve been there!
After years of practice though, I’m happy to be able to encourage you that with just...
I love mason jars, because there are so many ways you can use them! One of the most creative and fun things to do with mason jars is to use them to make lunchables...or in this case, masonables!
All you need to make them is a mason jar and an empty plastic applesauce or fruit cup, that has been rinsed out and dried. The purpose of the applesauce cup is to keep the 'wet' ingredients separate from the dry, which allows you to be creative and think outside the box with packed lunches. This is...
When it comes to making meals ahead of time (especially lunches), I love to make mason jar salads! These salads can be incredibly versatile (more videos on different kinds of mason jar salads to come), and they are simple to put together. Another great thing about mason jar salads is that they can be taken with you on the go, or enjoyed at home...and the best part is, they are ready when you are!
I love...
