    Unicorn Bark!

      It’s truly magical.   That mom moment when you whip up a healthier snack for your kids and they actually like it.  And eat it.  Maybe it’s because I used the word unicorn.  It seems that if you put the word unicorn in front of anything it creates a lot of hype.  Or if you add just enough color and sprinkles.   “Moommmmm… I don’t want broccoli for dinner.” “But it’s unicorn broccoli!” “YUUMMMMM!!! Can I have seconds?!” It’s that easy.   Last night we whipped up this batch of yumminess.  Protein packed, nothing artificial (except for the sprinkles!), and satisfies that sweet tooth- and made for a perfect…

    The Truth About Sugar… Why It’s Making Our Society Fatter

    Let’s talk about sugar and it’s VICIOUS cycle. Cravings. Not getting full. Our bodies need carbohydrates for energy. Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrates meaning our body uses them instantly and we remain hungry. Artificial sweeteners/high fructose corn syrups, candy, soda, can trick our body and release a chemical (dopamine) aka the “feel good” chemical that gives us a high and we CRAVE it more. Eat a candy bar. Chances are it’ll “satisfy” that craving and 20 minutes later you’re craving something else. Don’t get me started on food addictions. That’s another blog post to come.    When our bodies encounter artificial ingredients they don’t know how to store…

    Peppermint Mocha Martini (Without the Guilt)

    Tis the season.  Holiday parties.  Booze. Snacks.  Booze.  Snacks.  It’s never ending until January. We’re taking matters into our own hands this year, we hosted our own Christmas party, and the former bartender in me had been dying to stretch my legs and make some yummy drinks.   I had two in mind.  This one is a good one.  I can’t lie.  I’m a coffee creamer junkie, and my two favorites are peppermint mocha and gingerbread.  I wanted to recreate a similar flavor, in a blended or shaken martini, without the guilt.  I’m pretty pleased with the way these turned out.  I used a little Shakeology in this peppermint mocha…
