Oh have I got a treat for you today! I’ve held on to this recipe for months and am wondering why the heck I waited this long to make it. I guess there just isn’t enough time in the day to try each and every single recipe I have pinned, tweeted and Facebooked. But there…
Ah, a chocolate bunny exploded in our hallway and all over my office! Pretty sure my day’s going to consist of chocolate, breakfast rolls and a much-needed afternoon run to wear off all the sugar before Easter dinner. What did the bunny bring you?

If so, it’s a good indication that your body is shifting gears from a Winter supporting diet to a Spring one. Spring is the season of purification. Greens, additional…
There are certain days when a girl just needs her chocolate and yesterday was one of those days for me. Why I didn’t just have a handful of chocolate chips and be done with it is beyond me. Sometimes I over complicate things… I think it’s the Taurus in me. My chocolate themed day began…

Green smoothies also happen to be the perfect breakfast if you happen to have polished off an entire box of Bernard Callebaut dark chocolates…
Morning :) Guess what I picked up for us yesterday? Three pounds of the best cacao powder I’ve ever tasted. Well, four pounds if you include the package I bought for myself. Our plan was to go on the cacao plantation tour yesterday – to learn all about how cacao is harvested, processed, packaged, the…
Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I think my life has become more creative as a result of spending at least 20 minutes a day on the site. I have my eye on fork magnets, flower eggs, and perhaps a bit too many wedding ideas for a girl who’s not even engaged… yet. But…
One of my biggest frustrations over the past couple of months has been my inability to build muscle. I changed up my workouts, tried out new activities, nothing was helping. As part of my shifting and staying motivated project, I decided to take a long hard look at my diet to see if there were areas…
