I love good old fashioned meatloaf. It’s one of those comfort foods from my childhood that I just really crave sometimes. I have a really simple and delicious recipe that I use for a classic meatloaf, but I’m taking a time out from red meat and pork right now so I thought I would give a lentil loaf a try. …
The temperatures are warm, the sun is out and the days are long. Here in Cleveland, OH that’s pretty exciting stuff. And I don’t know about you, but for me this time of year brings with it a burst energy. It always feels easier to get out and get moving during the warmer months. So if you’re not moving that …

[av_one_half first] [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”] It’s sunny. And beautiful. I love this time of year. I love the warmth and the sun. I love the connection with friends, family, and the outdoors that this time of year brings. I enjoyed the long weekend, the “unofficial official” start to summer. And I was also reminded of my 3 Must Do …
Feeling stuck, trapped, or out of options are on my least favorite feelings list. How about for you? There was a time in my life when this was the norm. I was a complainer, and I often felt like I was a victim of circumstance. I didn’t physically feel good, and it clouded how I saw the world. I used phrases …
These are three of my favorite things! So often I talk with people about eating healthfully, and the initial reactions are dread, despair, and deprivation.
