Should My Food Processor Smoke Like That? Plus, This Week's Workout Schedule

My food processor in it's pre-smoking days. This past weekend I was happily making my kids' snacks when smoke started coming from my food processor. I quickly unplugged it, and smoke continued to roll out of the motor area. This was a whole new take on my saying that dinner just isn't done until I set the smoke detector off! "Is it on fire?!" My kids wanted to know. "I don't think so," I

Paleo Iced Protein Mocha

I'm mildly obsessed with frou-frou iced coffee recipes right now. For 3 reasons: It's hot. It's an awesome thing to be able to treat myself in the afternoons without having to leave the house! It's hot. This recipe is not only Paleo-friendly, but also has the added bonus of collagen. With my current lifting schedule I'm all about sneaking in protein and collagen wherever I can. 

Weigh In Wednesday + This Week's Workout Schedule

Vanilla Maple Iced Coffee

It's no secret that I'm madly in love with coffee. Hot coffee, iced coffee, plain coffee, flavored coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccino... you name it I want to marinate in it. People often ask me if coffee is Paleo. My answer: maybe not strict Paleo, but I. Don't. Care. Cavemen did NOT drink coffee some declare. To this I reply: I am convinced that cavepeople of my ancestral line were

Do Something Different

I think this was FitBloggin '11? I love this time of year. Fitbloggin season. While I was unable to attend this year I still loved following everyone's instagram and facebook feeds, but most of all: I love the aftermath. So many people on fire again. On fire for their blogging, fitness, and general healthy living. On fire for each other and this awesome community. I love watching people
