If you have no firm and resolute plans, you’ll waste all your time on meaningless distractions and interruptions. Certainly unexpected situations will come up that require y... Read Full Story

Some of the ladies over at Fit Chick Express posted some really good travel  snack ideas! It was then that I decided to make one of my own “snack bars” and make it out of ingredients that I would like to have in my bar. Most of the bars that I find never have enough protein for me. This recipe has a great amount of protein, along with being all natural ingredients! Here is what I added to my snack bars: 22 dried prunes or plums 1/2 cup walnuts 1/2 cup almonds 2 TBSP peanut butter ... Read Full Story

If  you follow my blog, you must know how much of a fan I am of peanut butter (and chocolate of course, but thats a post for another day.. ), so when Justin’s Nut Butter.com of Boulder, CO emailed me and asked if I wanted to try out some samples, I was all gung ho! Loved the thought that this company was local too! I was expecting a few packets of different peanut butters, but what I got was a whole lotta different flavors!
