Vegetarian Quinoa Black Bean Bites
One of my favorite recipes and perfect for meatless Monday! We try to limit our red meat intake to once/week in this house and try to add a vegetarian day as well. The added protein from the black beans and the quinoa really helps to fill up from these delicious little bites of yumminess! Plus, the kiddos love them, they’re quick, easy, and make for a great lunchbox treat too! Ingredients: 3/4c uncooked quinoa (I use Trader Joe’s organic white quinoa)1 can low sodium black beans3/4c salsa4-5 mini sweet peppers or 1/2 c diced green peppers 3/4 c shredded low-fat cheese1/2c frozen corn3 eggs2tsp garlic powder1tsp cumin1/2c chopped fresh…

The Why Behind Everything I Do
As I sit here looking over my planner for the next few weeks, trying to organize my life and create a sense of normalcy among the chaos that is my current life, I have to pause, breathe, and be thankful for what has brought me to the chaos that I have today. When you’re sitting in the delivery room, waiting for them to hand you your very first, teensy weensy, wrinkly, freshly bathed and swaddled little peanut, what they don’t tell you is that not only is this little person now outside your body but now, so is your heart. Here you are, Mrs. Roberts, and you will now be wearing your…

Clean Eating Shakeology Granola Bars
In my house, we love peanut butter. Every week, on the grocery list. Peanut Butter. Spoonfuls on spoonfuls, PBJ’s, protein bites, treats, snacks, ants on a log, etc. You know it. We also love chocolate. When we can combine the two, it’s heaven. These healthy, guilt-free snacks are perfect for that afternoon craving, that post-workout protein need, or that late night sweet tooth that won’t quit. Dunked into a glass of vanilla unsweetened almond milk and I’m done for. I hope you love these as much as we do! Ingredients: 2 c quick oats 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology 1/4c ground flaxseed meal 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp sea salt…

8 Days Out Bikini Competition Update
Hi! As some of you may already know, I’m currently training for my second bikini competition this year. I did my first in April and went the road alone! It was an exhilirating experience and I promised myself I would do it again, next time with more muscle. Well, I decided on a show on June 27th and have spent the last 12 weeks eating, bulking, lifting, and getting ready for this next show. I couldn’t be more excited! I will say, putting on muscle in 12 weeks is not easy and I am hoping for the best. This is a NANBF (naturals) show and I am looking forward to…
