I recently attend Applebee’s blogger summit, Behind the Menu, at their Kansas City headquarters. I was reluctant to go at first because I hadn’t been to an Applebee’s in years and don’t care for their food all that much. I’d rather go to a mom and pop Asian restaurant and have a bowl of pho, [...]

It’s the first “Fish Friday” of Lent, so the folks at Spice Islands sent me a few easy recipes to get you excited about cooking up some healthy, delicious fish. Eating fish is a great way to naturally add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least two [...]
Last week I wrote about skin care products for the winter that I love. While I have favorites, I’m not very loyal when it comes to beauty systems. I feel that after using something on your face for six months to a year, it stops working and you need to change product lines. That’s why [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Meatless Monday post. Frankly, they’re a bit of a challenge since I usually cook around some sort of animal protein I can find in my freezer like venison or fish. Even so, it’s not much of a challenge for anyone to substitute slices of firm tofu instead [...]
If you’re passionate about food and cooking like me, you probably have folders filled with recipes torn out of magazines and newspapers. I’ve tried to cut down on the clutter by finding recipes online and bookmarking links. So now instead of a messy folder in a drawer, I have a messy browser folder with links [...]
I was recently introduced to a cool new kids’ activity site that will encourage them to “live it up, mess it up, then clean it up” – Clorox Clean-Up Recipes For Fun. It features two cooking related areas. First, there’s Creative Cooking where kids are encouraged to play with their food and create edible masterpieces. [...]

Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit discoverbeautywithin.com. If you have one beauty resolution this winter, it should be to protect your skin and your family’s skin from winter weather. Not only is it cold, but the [...]
For this month’s Secret Recipe Club assignment, I was partnered with Jayasri of Samayalarai – Cooking is Divine. Jayasri’s Indian and lives in the UK, and likes to cook up traditional dishes as well as try out Western ones. I had a tough time choosing a recipe because I wanted to cook up an Indian [...]
I’ve now had the pleasure of dining twice at Udi’s Pizza Café Bar in Olde Town Arvada (Colorado). The first time was last December when my husband and I went there on a date. To start, we shared a large roasted beet salad with goat cheese. To drink, I had a gluten Raspberry Ale from [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gaiam. All opinions are 100% mine. While I’ve found a great local studio for Pilates, finding a similar place for yoga hasn’t been that easy. That’s why I was excited to see that Gaiam has introduced GaiamTV, the first streaming video subscription offering [...]
