If you crave pasta like I do, a low carb diet can be pretty painful unless you get creative. In this list, we have 5 of the top ways to satisfy those cravings and stay within your macros, while adding nutrition!
Do you remember your first race? My first race was the Dover Renaissance 5K back in the early 2000’s. Ever run in costume? I have run in costume for the Super Hero Half Marathon and in a birthday hat for the Philadelphia Marathon for a friend’s birthday. What’s the farthest you’ve ever run at one […]
Do you remember your first race? My cousin and her husband used to ask me to babysit for them while they ran races in downtown Raleigh, so I thought “what’s the big deal?!” I signed up for my first 5k in early 2012 and loved it soooo much that I immediately signed up for a […]
What does a typical week of training look like for you? I get up every morning at 5 am and start with meditation and yoga. I run about 3 miles every day. I work 7:45-7 and I’m a single mom so the early morning is the only time I get to myself. I don’t belong […]
Do you remember your first race? My first race was the SheRox triathlon. What does a typical training week look like to you? Running mixed with a lot of HIIT 5 days and 2 days of Barre3. More running if there’s a race. What is the number one food you avoid? I don’t really avoid […]
Are you one of those people who’s bored with your workout? How many times have you said, “I don’t have time.” How about, “I’m not feeling it today…” or maybe you start to getting into a routine and are feeling great only to be derailed by social situations or life distractions? If so, take a few minutes to read a few tidbits that might make a little sense and heck, half of them you probably already know but have been unwilling to make the connection!
I found this banana bread recipe on Spark Recipes and modified it just a tiny bit to make it more to my liking. Most banana bread recipes only yield a teeny slice of bread per serving size. With this recipe, you get a big ol’ hunk of banana bread for only 158 calories.
Specifically, a serving size is 1/8 of a loaf made in a standard 9.5″x5″ bread pan, whereas most of the other recipes were only giving you a 1/12 of the loaf.
You could leave out the walnuts and take 25 calories off each slice, but they really make it a game changer!
Adapted from Big Mans World, these are hands down the best keto rolls I have ever made. Most keto “bread” recipes are too eggy, or just plain bland, but these walked and talked like an actual burger bun.
Move over lettuce wraps!
This burger bun is a total game changer. At only 2 net carbs per roll, I feel like there is finally a guilt free option to really enjoy a good ole game day burger!
Love is in the air, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and well, one thing led to another and I suddenly found myself knee deep, sleeves rolled up, in a google search for the funny, the sweet, and the off-beat.
Enjoy!
Long ago, kale was also a slang term for “money,” as in, “Hand over the kale, sweetheart, and nobody gets hurt.” Kale comes from a Scottish variation on cole, which meant “cabbage” in Middle English.
Kale also has tons of health benefits and can be eaten raw (such as in salads, or smoothies) or sautéed as a side with your favorite meal.
I love pairing it with eggs for breakfast, or replacing starchy sides like pasta and rice with this delicious and hearty leafy green super food!
