The Skin You’re In…
The skin we’re in. Thick. Thin. Pale. Tan. Brown. White. Freckled. Dotted with cellulite. Lined with stretch marks. Wrinkly. Shiny. We’re so quick to judge ourselves on appearances. But how many of us can say that we’re comfortable in that skin. That we’re getting rid of judging, and moving onto acceptance. It’s taken me a lot of years to get to this point. To be comfortable in my body. To love the cellulite and the imperfections and the wrinkles. I didn’t always. So I decided one day to ask for help. I was tired of being tired, being self conscious, and not getting the results I wanted from…

Fat Tuesday Jambalaya
The old bartending days. Down in Soulard. Oooh I loved working Mardi Gras! Tons of people. Lots of tips. Delicious food. You could count on me scarfing down several bowls of jambalaya during a 12 hour shift! So tonight being Fat Tuesday, I wanted to recreate the Mardi Gras taste of jambalaya I remembered but with a little bit healthier kick. We used our jalapeño cheddar elk sausage but you can use a ground turkey, a lean ground sausage, or chicken and it would be just as yummy. I hope you enjoy! Laissez les bon temps roulez! Ingredients: 1 lbs lean sausage or turkey (we used elk) 3…
