Sometimes no matter how good God is to you, the voices inside our heads will spin it to make it seem like our lives are the worst. The negative overwhelms the positive and we’re always discouraged or discontent....but there's something you can do to change it!!!

Quitting Isn't an Option

Picture
Weight loss and getting healthy is just like driving....if you ever get lost or veer off the road, just make a U-turn and head back in the right direction!!

Makes sense right?? Or would you just light the car on fire and say screw it? 

The funny thing is, that’s what most people do!!! They “mess up”...and then just throw their hands up in defeat.

Bacon Apple Butter

Picture
One of the big things that separates a good meal from a great meal is a sauce!  If you like to eat out at nice restaurants like we do, that is something that they all have in common, a fantastic sauce pairing that goes along with the main course.  

It can provide a balance of flavors, it can tie a dish together, and it can provide a needed level of moisture/fat with a leaner cut of meat.  After years of watching cooking shows and a little experimentation myself I've learned some basics in sauce making and how to combine flavors.  If you are novice learning some basic skills in this world will certainly help.

What is a Beachbar?

Picture
What is a Beachbar?  

A place that serves fruity cocktails that have umbrellas in them...  No but I do like that kind of Beach Bar too!  

Beachbody recently launched an all new snack bar to their line of nutritionals and supplements to help promote healthy eating.  Somehow their marketing department landed on "Beachbar" as the winner for what they would call it.  Not the most clever but oh well as long as it tastes good and has quality ingredients I guess I could care less what they call it.  

So I wanted to share a little bit about this bar;​
  • What it is and what it isn't
  • The nutrition facts
  • The ingredients
  • What it costs
  • How does it compare to other bars
  • How can you add it into your daily meal plan

You Are Enough

Picture
I don't know about you but sometimes life is hard. It feels like I'm juggling a million things every day and if I make one wrong move it'll all come crashing down....and you know what?? It sometimes does. And that's ok.

I have to remind myself often that who I am and what I do are two separate things.

All the comfort of my grandma's homemade meatloaf combined with all of the flavor you would get from some of the best Indian curry dishes that I've had.  Sounds about perfect, right???

Upgrade Your Breakfast

Picture
​Breakfast is often referred to the most important meal of the day.  Some people get this concept some don't.  Breakfast for a lot of people actually looks lot more like dessert.  Just yesterday we were in a local restaurant and watched a guy sitting in the booth across from us enjoy waffles à la mode.  Really, ice cream for breakfast on top of a sweet bread, topped with liquid sugar and whip cream.  Why is that even an option for breakfast?  Seriously!!!

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Picture
I know some people that begin to drive heave if they are threatened to eat a brussel sprout.  A couple are in my immediate family.  Growing up my mom on occasion would make them but they were usually either steam or boiled with some butter on them.  Although I could probably stomach that now, at the time it was one of the most disgusting flavors.  The smell was similar to what a Band-Aid smells like and I could only imagine what they taste like.

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Sausage with Maple Crema

Picture
Simple.  Delicious.  Sweet.  Spicy. Hearty.  

If you've made soup before you've probably tried version of this soup.  I see it on menus all the time especially this time of year.  I've made it a handful of times and this version is by far my favorite.  Call me a sucker for some good sausage.  Or maybe just the simplicity and letting the fresh veggies and quality stock.

Golf, Beer and Supplements...

Picture
If you didn't read our bios, in a previous occupation I actually used to work as a golf professional.  No, I didn't play on the PGA Tour.  I worked at a club, ran golf tournaments, sold merchandise, gave golf lessons and every once in awhile I got to play!  People always would tell me how jealous they were of my job, to which I would usually just agree because that was easier.  Easier than saying I work ridiculously long hours, never get a weekend off, get paid a shade above minimum wage, and had 300+ "bosses" called members that all wanted something different.  But I digress...

Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes

Picture
It wouldn't be fall if we didn't throw a pumpkin recipe at you.  Since we love pancakes here you go!  We've been making a variation of these pancakes for the longest time.  However the texture on those other ones just wasn't quite where I would like it when it comes to a pancake.  So just a couple little tweaks and we have this new one which I think will be our go to pancake recipe for a quite some time.
