Turkey Bacon & Egg Breakfast Flatbread

Turkey Bacon & Egg Breakfast Flatbread

What’s better than pizza? Breakfast pizza. I’ve been making this turkey bacon & egg breakfast flatbread for a while, sharing it on my Instagram, and thought I’d finally share it here.

So I have a really important question – are you #TeamBreakfast like me? I could eat breakfast for every meal, no question asked. That’s what makes this recipe so great – it’s not only for breakfast. I make this…

It’s been a while since I’ve shared my favorites. In a perfect world I’d be sharing these monthly, but I’ve been busy with work and just enjoying time outside. Honestly, I tried writing a March and April Favorites so it’s turned into a Spring Favorites.

My Favorite Athletic Clothes

My favorite athletic clothes and stores I recommend for quality, affordable options.

I’ve been overhauling my athletic clothes and I think I’m finally at a good place! Going to the gym shouldn’t be a fashion show, but sometimes a good outfit makes the workout that much better. Plus it’s a confidence boost!

When it comes to athletic clothes, I’ll admit that I don’t like to spend a tonof money. I definitely want the clothes to have quality and fit well, but at the end of the day…

At-Home HIIT Circuit

An at-home HIIT circuit for your next cardio session - minimal equipment needed!

Recently, my knee had a flare up and I haven’t been able to do much cardio as I’d like. Since summer is on the way, I’m maintaining which usually includes at least one cardio session per week. If you’re new around here, you can read about my knee troubles here. After four weeks, I’m able to do squats and dead lifts again, but cardio stills tends irritate my knee because of the repetitive motion.…

My Flexible Dieting Aldi Grocery List (and a few recipes)

My Flexible Dieting Aldi Grocery List (and a few recipes)

At the beginning of 2018, I decided to sit down and take a look at my finances. Both a good and bad decision. I saw how much money I was spending on random grocery store trips throughout the month. I decided to end that by building a meal plan, shopping at Costco for bulk items, and switching back to shopping at Aldi. After a few shopping trips since the beginning of the year, I’ve finally…

Foods I Used to Hate That I Now Love

Foods I used to hate that I now love and that you need to eat more of.

Surprisingly, I was not one of those kids that avoided their vegetables like the plague. I loved broccoli and peas when I was growing up, asking for them with my dinner. Apparently, I also ate salads at a young age which I distinctly remember topping with Italian dressing. I didn’t love all vegetables equally and until just recently, I wouldn’t touch some of them. Then there were foods that I…

During November and…

Meal Planning | Starting Your Fitness Journey

Meal planning for a successful meal prep and to get started on your fitness journey.

2018 is here. Have you started working towards your new goals? I personally enjoy setting new goals for myself whether it’s at the beginning of year,  month, or even once a week. I believe it’s important to always be growing and improving. For many at the turn of the year, they set goals to start eating healthier and workout more. I’m all about this goal, but of those who set that goal, did you…

My 2018 Goals

My 2018 goals and New Year's resolutions.

Another year has come and gone, so here I am with my 2018 goals. I’ve been sharing my New Year’s resolutions for two years now, and while I may not have always reached those goals I enjoy the idea of having them public for the accountability. It’s also a nice way to have a journal-esque log of what I’ve wanted to do over the years and watch myself grow and change. 2017 has been an experience.…

November Favorites | 2017

My favorite fitness picks, foods and beauty favorites for the month of November 2017.

I’ve been slacking on sharing monthly favorites and honestly these posts should be a no brainer. For some reason, autumn always inspires me to get back to working on my blog though I’m not sure why. I made it a point in the middle of the month to start taking pictures of what I knew would be included in in my November favorites so I could this post out in time. I’m going to do my best to share a…

A Weekend In Detroit

So I spent a weekend in Detroit a few weeks ago and I know what you’re thinking, “But why Detroit?” I know because that’s what everyone around me said when I said I was taking some vacation time. But that was the most fun that I’ve had in a really long time, and I honestly recommend checking it out for a weekend getaway. One of my cousins has been living in Detroit for a couple of years now and…

End of Summer Favorites

End of Summer Favorites | August 2017

Summer has pretty much flown by! There was not a week this summer that I was not completely swamped with work, the gym, and social activities. Sadly, we weren’t able to swing a vacation this summer, but as we move into autumn, my boyfriend will be finishing up nursing school so we’ll have more time to enjoy the beautiful fall weather that we have in Minnesota. Since I’ve really trying to enjoy…
