Summertime is a great motivator to start working out. With bright, sunny skies it can make working out outside an enjoyable task. I know we all lead busy lives and it can be hard to fit working out into our already tight schedules, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t burn those extra calories. Eating healthy is a great way to keep off those extra pounds if you don’t have time to hit the gym everyday. People have this idea that eating healthy is boring because there aren’t a lot of options but that’s not the case. There are a variety of recipes you can choose from that are as equally delicious and healthy! I have listed a few of my favorite healthy snacks that’ll hopefully inspire you to eat healthy or come up with some of your own ideas!

Happy munching Friends!

My Favorite Healthy Snacks

1. Granola, Peanut Butter, and Apple Sandwiches

2. Avocado Toast with a Sunny-Side Up Egg

3. Yogurt-Covered Fruit Bites

4. Trail Mix

5. Baked Apple Chips

I recently received a picture from a friend of mine of an old man riding around Austin on a bike wearing nothing but his underwear! It was a funny sight to see to say the least and it got me thinking about Austin’s slogan “Keep Austin Weird”. Austin is known for preserving its quirkiness and the people that live here are very proud of the culture; some even embody it. One thing I especially love about Austin is the food! There’s so many “weird” and unique places to eat here and I wanted to share some of them here that you should definitely try! They may sound a little weird but we wouldn’t be doing our Austinite duty if we didn’t do our part in keeping Austin weird! Check out these unique dishes when you get the chance, you won’t be disappointed!

Good Afternoon Friends and Family!! It’s almost Friday hooray!

I thought I would share with you all today a fun and healthy recipe that I came across. It’s a unique twist on one of my favorite side dishes, mashed potatoes. It has the same great look and taste of mashed potatoes but with a healthy twist, you substitute potatoes for cauliflower. It’s an excellent way to fool your children into trying new vegetables and it tastes great too!

Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes”

INGREDIENTS:

1 head of cauliflower
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons light sour cream
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
freshly ground black pepper
snipped chives

DIRECTIONS:

1. Separate the cauliflower into florets and chop the core finely.

2. Bring about 1 cup of water to a simmer in a pot, then add the cauliflower. Cover and turn the heat to medium. Cook the cauliflower for 12-15 minutes or until very tender.

3. Drain and discard all of the water (the drier the cauliflower is, the better) and add the milk, butter, sour cream, salt and pepper and mash with a masher until it looks like “mashed potatoes.” Top with chives.

Despite the Cold and Wet weather for a Friday, I hope you all Enjoy the day!!
Have a Wonderful Weekend Friends!!

Happy Friday

I know We all fall victim to not spending enough time with Family or Friends. So, here I’ve gathered a Few tips to Help You, and Myself with getting better with Time!

The modern age may demand your attention through handheld devices and smartphones, but your family needs your attention from, well, You. Don’t let your phone compete for family time and instead, exercise these simple, practical and very human tips to reconnect:

Turn off your phone. Compartmentalize your life to focus your attention on what you’re doing and enjoying at that moment. If it’s work time, then enjoy working. If it’s family time, then enjoy the family!

Eat dinner together. Dinnertime is a perfect way to share your successes with each other, regroup or just catch up. Make sure to ask kids specific questions about their day. And keep the TV off.

Read with your kids. Reading not only helps you connect with your kids, but also helps build their vocabulary, increase their curiosity about life, and gets them interested in reading. They will cherish it forever.

Attend kids’ concerts and games. Kids want to see your face in the crowd. You can share their wins and help them understand their losses. These shared experiences make for great conversations over many family dinners to come.

Exercise together. Shooting some hoops, taking a walk, or just throwing or kicking a ball together while you small talk will be great for your family relationships.

Do the morning or afternoon school run. This gives you a chance to encourage your kids to have a great day, ask them how their day went, and show how proud you are of them.

Don’t forget date night! Kids are important, but so is your partner. Going out for a special night at least once a week—just the two of you—is important for reconnecting. It also shows your kids how important you are to each other.
