Take Your Vitamins! A little reminder…

June 21, 2013 by Melissa

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Vitafusion. I’ll be honest with you. I tried really hard to take a multivitamin. Several times over the years. I’ve tried a handful of brands, including those expensive GNC packs of vitamins. But they all made me sick, even when I took them with food (before breakfast, during breakfast, after breakfast…I tried everything). I’m … [Read more...]

Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies

June 20, 2013 by Melissa

It’s summer!!! Well, almost, but practically, so that means it is…right? Summer means fru fru lemon slices in my water. Because I’m fancy. For some people, summer means outdoor sports. Water skiing, outdoor bootcamps, catfishing… Ummm…not this gal. Sorry, but no. I’m all about the sweating, but within an air conditioned building. No friggin way I’m working up a sweat in the sunshine. … [Read more...]

Plantains (Cinnamon Coconut)

June 18, 2013 by Melissa

I’ve recently become addicted to plantains. I had tried them once, years ago. I was at a very cool Cuban restaurant with some girlfriends before a bachelorette party (woohoo!) and I had short ribs on plantains! Holy mackeral. Sweet Jesus. It was ahhmazing! Oh, and then I had them again on a nice date my fiancé took me on, and I ordered the duo of steak tartar and tuna tartar with plantain … [Read more...]

Everything Bagel Seasoning

June 12, 2013 by Melissa

So I just watched Argo. Yes, I’m behind, pop-culturally. But the point is, my fiancé and I rented it and finally saw it! I loved it and I was on edge the whole time. It was totally the kind of movie my dad would love. And I just love when I’m watching a movie, and I think, “Wow! My dad would love this.” Kind of like when I saw Jessica post a recipe for Everything White Bean Hummus. … [Read more...]

Key Lime Pie Popcorn

June 10, 2013 by Melissa

It’s snack time! Wait, it’s pretty much always snack time once summer rolls around. That’s a good thing. But it means you have to be prepared. Especially if you tend to drop in on friends (the ones with the pool at their complex) or if friends drop in on you (or if your kids haven't figured out the beauty of playing outside all day long so you can have some peace and quiet). Yes, handfuls of … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 32

June 7, 2013 by Melissa

I have fun things to share! Have you tried the berry Blue Diamond Almonds yet? I have! The strawberry is my favorite! Have you ever looked into the bag of whatever you’re eating, and suddenly they’re gone?! Like, all gone. Who stole them? Did I eat all of those? Yup, that was me with the strawberry almonds. Do you find celebrity diets fascinating? Like, how they’re are all under … [Read more...]

Gluten-Free Apricot Stack Cake

June 5, 2013 by Melissa

When I was flipping through Better Homes and Gardens last month, my eye was immediately drawn to the Apricot Stack Cake that was piled high and screaming of summertime. It didn’t hurt that it also liked like a stack of pancakes. I think stack cakes are adorable. They’re super trendy, they look simple and complicated all at the same time, and they’re totally an unexpected finale to any … [Read more...]

Blueberry Sauce [aka Blueberry Jam (no pectin)]

June 3, 2013 by Melissa

So I finally made jam! Ok, so it’s the easiest jam in the world. No pectin. And it makes only one jar, so no jar boiling is needed. Now that’s my kind of jam! The lemon provides the “pectin” for this jam recipe, and the flavor of the blueberries is intense. It’s wonderful. And it’s sweet because the blueberries are sweet, because there isn’t a ton of sugar in it, unlike most jam recipes. … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 31

May 31, 2013 by Melissa

Thank you to all of you for your kind words of support and encouragement after my race last week! I really appreciate it! I took a bit of a vacation last weekend. I snuck away to spend a day with my parents and didn't tell a soul. The mom therapy was needed! We had such a great time together, as always. We strolled the market... registered at Crate and Barrel together … [Read more...]
