Organic Chicken Soup – a great classic

During the cool Winter months there really is nothing as comforting as a warm chicken soup. It is scientifically proven that chicken soup has healing benefits. It soothes cold and flu symptoms and relieves congestion.  Homemade chicken soup helps when when you’re feeling under the weather, tired, mineral depleted or sick. A comforting chicken soup feels like a warm hug.

You don’t even have to be…

Oven-baked Turkey Meatballs – Paleo & Gluten-Free

These Paleo and gluten-free oven-baked turkey meatballs are not made with breadcrumbs, but rather with almond meal, which gives them a super soft texture and very low in carbs!

These delicious low-carb oven-baked meatballs are low in fat as well, and only take about 18 -20 in the oven to bake. There is no need to fry or sear them first!

My kids don’t know anything about ingredients yet and…

Training for the Treasure Coast Marathon and metatarsal foot pain

Now that I’m well into this training for the Treasure Coast Marathon on March 5th, with a few long runs already in my book, the terrible metatarsal foot pain has been spinning it’s painful head again. I struggled with this pain last year during the training for the Disney marathon, then it disappeared only to show up again this year with even more intensity than last year.

I’m pretty sure that I…

Matcha Chia Pudding – a super food breakfast idea!

I think we all agree that chia seed pudding is probably one of the healthiest snacks and breakfast ideas. This Matcha Chia Pudding is a great way to add some energy to your day!

Chia Seeds are true powerhouses. Amazing how much nutritional punch is packed into just one little serving. Fiber and Omega-3 fatty acid (ALA) top the list of nutrients for these little diet wonders.

Matcha Chia Pudding is…

Running Log Week August 15th

This week has been really hard for running here in Palm Beach. The heat is blasting. I skipped my long run short on Sunday because it was hard to breath through the moist and thick air. 2 more months to go and hopefully it will cool down a bit again.

Last year it didn’t cool down until November – I was impatiently waiting from September 1st for cooler temps but it so wasn’t happening.

At least…

Sunday Fitness & Food Link Up Party – Welcome back!

Hi Everyone and Welcome back to Sunday Fitness & Food Link-Up Party-

Thanks for everyone stopping by and linking up!

At this point the Olympics are almost over. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see as much as I would have liked to. I tried my best to catch some of the running events as much as I can. The women marathon last weekend was awesome to watch – USA in the TOP 10 and Kenya won the Olympic…

Berry Chia Porridge – vegan, no refined sugars!

Berry Chia Porridge – a healthy vegan dessert or snack idea made with berries and no refined sugars!

Do you have a childhood food memory that you loved but you basically have outgrown it for the sake of a healthier lifestyle? That's how I feel about semolina pudding - a cream of wheat style pudding. Usually made with milk and sugar. One of my favorite grown-up pudding passion is chia pudding. I…

Running Log Week August 8th – Summer fun!

I think August is passing by even faster than July did. It feels like I wrote last week’s training log only 3 days ago.

This last week has really been slow for me running wise. The kids were both off from camp and school didn’t start until this week, so yes, they needed my attention full time, non-stop.

They are at the age now when the second they get up they burst with energy and can’t wait to…
