Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole [...]
I’ve been experimenting with some different recipes with whole wheat tortillas, and I came up with a couple Hot-Pockets-made-healthy wraps. I call them…<dramatic instrumental crescendo>…Hot Pocketillas! Mozzarella Turkey Hot Pocketilla 4 whole wheat tortillas 2 cups part skim mozzarella cheese 16 thin slices deli turkey Warm tortillas up in microwave for 10-15 seconds to make sure they don’t break when [...]
Starting today, I’m going to do a seven-day challenge of eating only nutritional food. Same thing I did (and failed miserably!) with the 30-Day Challenge. Same parameters: No empty calories (sugar, specifically) No simple carbs (breads, etc. I’m not counting vegetables.) I think I’m going to blog about my meals…just to keep myself accountable. So here’s today: Breakfast Chocolate Banana [...]
One of my all-time favorite hikes is Mt. Morrison in Morrison, Colorado. It’s very challenging, yet very rewarding – the views are breathtaking. I decided to take my sister on the hike yesterday…in the snow. Awesome doesn’t begin to describe it! Cold is a close second when it comes to descriptive words, but we’ll stick with awesome. So without further [...]

There are books upon books upon books claiming to reveal the secret of the woman’s mind. We, afterall, are incredibly complex and you just can’t figure us out. EEENNNHHH. Wrong. Men, here’s the secret. Women are constantly surrounded with messages telling them they aren’t productive enough, beautiful enough, skinny enough, important enough, talented enough, smart enough, good enough. Make sure [...]
These past couple of days have given me the impression that I’ve done something so intensely evil that the universe felt it necessary to rain down its wrath upon me. Shattering my cell phone, getting into small accident and getting a parking ticket for parking too close to the meter — yes, parking too close to the meter — were [...]
I didn’t have a chance to snap a pic, so there are no snazzy images to make your mouth water. But trust me, this is a delicious dish that’s sure to please. Not to mention it’s easy to make AND good for you. Score! 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, thawed (or 4 medium breasts) 2 eggs 1 1/2 c. [...]
I figured it would be a good idea to get a head start on the holiday season. First of all, did I really just use “holiday season” already? Let me see. Yes. Yes, I did. Where did this year go? And second, you need to give me a giant cyber high five because I never get a head start on anything. [...]
A few months ago, I opened up about some issues I was dealing with. After some pretty severe, um, we’ll call them “episodes,” I visited the doctor about my concerns. Though it was no surprise, I was diagnosed with depression and was prescribed Paxil. In the weeks following this seemingly huge event in my life, I really struggled with the [...]
