Nutrition Simplified- Achieving Balance and Sustainability
Nutrition is my jam. Now, anyway. It wasn’t always. Yeah, I ate “healthy”. Lean Cuisines and Diet Coke used to be my jam. I paid zero attention to what I was putting in my body, but fully believed that a 1500 calorie salad was a good lunch choice and could nearly eat my weight in steak, baked potato, and buttery green beans at dinner… protein, carb, veggie, right? About 5 years ago I committed to and dove into a fitness and nutrition program that would forever change the landscape of how I approached my nutrition. One that allowed for balance.

And I know I have to make it. Today I intended to make a chicken butternut squash soup in the crockpot but life got in the way and was saving this chili for the weekend…

Best Fish Tacos Ever
My dad is a carnivore. He is the grillmaster. The king of BBQ. Definitely a meat and potatoes type of guy. I think of Ron Swanson from Parks & Rec when I think of my dad! Anyway, my parents came for dinner the other night and my dad asked that I make my delicious fish tacos and it blew me away. Really?! Fish tacos? So I upped my game, added a little bolder flavor and flair and whipped up these bad boys and sure enough he loved them! So I had to share them with all of you. I added a cilantro lime slaw and fresh guacamole (something…
