Energems – Candy for Working Out

By Tiffany Leave a Comment

Energy candy, chews, jellybeans...for quite awhile know I have known about them and wanted to give them a whirl to see if they really work. I know quite a few fitness bloggers, runners, and enthusiasts who swear by them. They look just like candy and come in a variety of shapes and sizes but they are more Red Bull then sugar rush. My workout routine though really didn't require them. I worked out in the mornings, when I am naturally at my most energetic and fresh. That changed this past month … [Read more...]

What To Do With Leftover Mashed Sweet Potatoes

By Tiffany 7 Comments

Sweet potatoes contain vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, magnesium, fiber, and potassium. They are low on the glycemic index and the antioxidants help get rid of cancer-friendly free radicals. They are IMO much better for you than traditional white potatoes. I try to make them once a week in the Fall/Winter, usually mashed with maple syrup and grassfed butter. I make extra so that I can use the leftover mashed sweet potatoes into other yummy meals and treats. I think you would surprised … [Read more...]

SparkPeople Love

A few weeks back I wrote about the great soy fiasco here and here. Not much new to report other than all issues caused by the soy have reversed themselves or have greatly improved. Still have some thyroid issues to deal with but I am hopeful that will be fixed soon too.  When I posted about what I experienced I mentioned a web site that I have fallen in love with... SparkPeople. It is 100% free and 100% awesome. I found it initially via Facebook and immediately became hooked. I have heard … [Read more...]

Making Yogurt at Home

By Tiffany 7 Comments

There are so many reasons to try making your own yogurt at home. For one we get to eliminate yet another source of plastic in our lives because very few yogurt companies offer their product in glass containers. Yogurt cups are notoriously hard to recycle and are not accepted by many recycling plants. Another reason to make homemade is too have more control over what we are eating. You don't have to worry about the laundry list of preservatives and additives.. you know exactly what is in your … [Read more...]
