A place to share my thoughts on...the clean eating lifestyle, clean and not so clean recipes, my fitness feats and disasters and any other conundrums that come up in my day-to-day life (as I am not only a woman but a mom to three lovely children).

I am sorry it is so small...I was having formatting issues...ended up converting from doc to pdf to jpg!
My kids love banana muffins. If you use the small muffin tins, these are the perfect size for their little mouths. These two-bite morsels are great for lunches, after school snacks or for the quick bite when you are rushing out the door. I have been playing around with the recipe to make it a little more healthy BUT I do add small chocolate chips! For the adult version, I avoid the chocolate chips, but add pumpkin seeds. Try it! A note regarding the bananas. They MUST BE be overripe. Nice and brown and sweet! I purchase my overripe bananas at the local produce store, in their quick sale section. Really, they can't ask full price for brown banana's! I pay approximately $2 for a bag of 15 to 20 bananas. And they are Organic. I have seen other stores like Safeway and Superstore with a cart loaded with produce reduced for quick sale. Overripe Bananas can be placed in the freezer for baking and shakes. So t...
On this blog I will be keeping track of my workouts. I have recently been following the Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut" workouts. I am struggling with toning up and losing that last 10 lbs of baby weight. I guess really I can't call it "baby weight" any more, as Jolie is now 4 1/2! I am very aware that eating a clean diet with the right proportions of macro-nutrients is 90% of the equation; however, like many women, I struggle with "getting it". I have to be very careful on what I eat because genetics is not on my side (sorry parents). Plus now that I am forty, I find that I put weight on very easy. I am not obsessive about it, I just want to live a long and healthy life and to set an example for my children. I am also clearly aware that my wine consumption is not helping me reach my goals. HOWEVER, since starting this routine in January, I am seeing results. I don't necessarily follow the menu plans/diet in the book, b...
Keeping a blog is a lot harder than I thought. I like to give 100% when I do something, and keeping a blog is difficult when you don't have oodles of free time. There is always something going on or little people who need me. In the evenings, once the kids are all nestled in their beds, I then have the time to....finish with the dinner dishes, complete and put away the laundry, address any house cleaning that was not finished or attempted i.e. bathroom, and then, only then, I will sit down and have a little Chelsea time (Yes. The coveted glass of wine is cherished at this time, on occasion). However, once I am relaxed, I am too zoned out to write a blog. I have many ideas and recipes to share, but its finding the time to put out something worth reading. I am not a selfish person, but I like to share... I do tend to dabble in Facebook, probably a lot more than I should. But only because it generally focuses around mindless tidbits that tak...
