Who loves soup? I sure do. Especially when it’s chilly chilly outside. This lentil soup was simple to prepare and again provides you the flexibility to make it your own. Add in some diced tomatoes or Swiss chard or play around with the seasonings. Use this as a base and get creative. This was dinner with a simple salad. Tasty …
It’s snowing today. Like real snowing. Not the kind of snowing I expected in early November. Sure, I heard mention of snow coming…I just didn’t really believe it. It seems too soon for anything more than a few flurries. I love the snow, it’s just that it’s a really late fall/winter thing and I’m still very much in early fall …

For breakfast I portion out a serving …

But, change and discomfort go hand in hand. Why? Well, because change is not linear. It is full of steps and plateaus. The fear of the discomfort can trigger …
It’s official, fall has arrived. While I am a big fan of the heat and activity of summer, I equally enjoy the coziness and slow down that fall brings. Sweatshirts on cool nights, Sunday football (Go Browns!), and vibrant colors decorating the trees…yep, I’m a fan. I am also a fan of busting out my crock pot this time of …
Ever feel stuck? I know I have. Ever feel like you know exactly what you want and exactly what you need to do to get there, but you are trapped by this inescapable force that holds you back? So often I work with women who know exactly what they want, but they feel totally stuck and unable to change. Change …
