When I started hosting Feel Great in 8 Challenges 7 years ago it started with just me and my friends. We saw each other at least weekly, helped each other fight temptations at gatherings, and noticed each others healthy choices. I think there were 15 of us. I absolutely love that the challenge has grown…
Using the Point Tracker
I am definitely NOT super tech savvy and I’m guessing many of you aren’t either, so I often worry that the technical/computery (that’s a word, right?) parts of the challenge are tricky to use. I wanted to do a quick tutorial on using the online point tracker so that you don’t have to waste any valuable…
October Feel Great in 8 Challenge – Let’s Spread the Word!
Image from www.freedigitalphotos.net The next round of the Feel Great in 8 Challenge starts on Monday, October 7th! First of all though, I just have to tell you something… I had the coolest, cheesiest, most realistic dream last night. I woke up with it fresh in my mind and I’ve been thinking about it all…
Soft & Fluffy Whole Wheat Rolls
First of all, I need to be honest…please don’t let this scare you off…but, this isn’t one of those fool-proof recipes that you can throw together 5 minutes before dinner. I know, that would be awesome, but in all reality…homemade 100% whole wheat rolls are a little tricky and temperamental. Actually, I guess that’s not…
Inspiration
I wish I could put into words how much I LOVE hosting Feel Great in 8 Challenges. I love “getting to know” so many incredible people. I think about you and worry about how I can help more. I smile like a crazy person at my computer when you share your successes. I even tell…
Easy Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas
It only takes a few minutes to make these quick, easy, and healthy homemade whole wheat tortillas! Once you’ve tried them, you’ll never want to go back! Once you start reading nutrition labels and ingredient lists, it gets incredibly frustrating to realize how much extra junk is added to packaged foods. Tortillas are the perfect…
Corn & Black Bean Salsa
You’ll love this healthy and fresh Corn & Black Bean Salsa! It’s fantastic over a bed of spinach as a salad, inside Homemade Tortillas with a little cheese, or with Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips. This is one of my favorite fresh summer recipes! It’s perfect to take to a summer party, or even for a…
Sweet Potato Chips
Did you know that sweet potatoes are high in vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, potassium, and magnesium? They’re also super delicious and sweet, but won’t spike your blood sugar like regular potatoes. Score. These delicious salty, crunchy snacks are one of my favorite ways to eat sweet potatoes. They are a great…
Homemade Macaroni & Cheese
Have you heard about the petition to get Kraft to remove artificial dyes from their macaroni and cheese? You can read more about about it on 100 Days of Real Food. It’d be nice if we could make a difference in convincing companies to improve their products, but let’s be honest, even without the artificial…
Garden Veggie & Cheddar Quiche
A few months ago I’d honestly never made a quiche. Then I found this super cute quiche pan on clearance at Target and seriously went quiche crazy for a few weeks. My poor family had a different kind of quiche every few nights. I just love how different you can make it just by changing…
