Life Questions {Q&A}
I was recently given the honor of participating in a project for a friend and coworker. He sent me a list of questions that several individuals will also be answering. They took me some time to complete as I wanted to answer them honestly and thoroughly. I’m an over-analyzer—in case this isn’t already obvious! Anyway, after…
Overcoming Fear By Stepping Into It

On Connecting With Those Around Us
I posted this picture the other day on my Instagram and on my Facebook page along with my ramblings.

Clutch Zucchini Banana Bread {High Protein}
There is nothing quite like fresh baked banana bread. Except maybe fresh baked zucchini bread. This recipe combines both—but it is healthy! The avocado serves as a stand in for the butter/oil that most traditional quick breads call for. The baking mix is high protein. It is also sweetened with stevia, and along with…

The Best Way To Cook A Spaghetti Squash
There are several ways to cook a spaghetti squash, but I have found the easiest to be microwaving. It requires less hands on time, and less time overall than using the oven. It is fairly simple, but if you’ve never done it before, it is definitely a bit daunting. I thought it would be…
