6 Things to Make with Zucchini this Season

6 Things to Make with Zucchini this Season

Anyone who has ever grown zucchini in their garden knows that you almost always end up with more zucchini than you know what to do with. Sure, there’s always zucchini bread, zucchini muffins, or deep fried zucchini. One can only eat so much zucchini bread before they are completely over it though. These are some of my favorites I’ve found on Pinterest, consider trying these out before you start…

June Updates

Happy June everyone!

I know I’ve been MIA, and I’m starting to try to get back in the swing of things. I didn’t realize that after being a night shift workers for 5 years that going into a daytime job was going to be a less than flawless transition. I’ve felt that there isn’t enough hours in the day for me to get enough sleep, get proper nutrition and go to the gym. I can say my diet has improved…

10 things to eat pre-workout

10 things to eat pre-workout

Recently a good friend of mine came to me and said she wanted to start going jogging in the morning and asked me if she should eat before going, and if so, what she should have. I typically like having something small like a banana or protein bar before a workout, but once I really thought about it I had to ask myself “is that the best thing I can be doing for my body?” So, I did a little…

Most of you know that during the summer time I hike pretty frequently, but with the cold and snowy winter we’ve had in Oregon this year it hasn’t been possible to do a lot of hiking. I’ve never been snowshoeing before but jumped on board when my sister suggested the idea as an alternative. It’s a bit more work than normal hiking, but I still had a lot of fun! We journeyed up to Mirror Lake in…

Mango Salsa

This was my first time making mango salsa, and I must say I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I’m not a fan of spicy food at all, and while this turned out a little spicy for my taste buds it still has fantastic flavor and I’ll probably modify it in the future to be a bit more mild.

Ingredients:

1 peeled and chopped mango.

1/4 cup finely choppped bell pepper (I used red).

1 chopped green…

How Fitness Changed My Life

If you’ve read my past blogs than one thing you would know about me is that I’ve been incredibly lazy for most of my life. Eat, work, sleep, repeat, more or less. There was no semblance of any physical activity in my life. I started this blog about a year ago with the intention of that being the beginning of my fitness journey, and while it was, I’ve fallen off the wagon a few times. I’ve been…
