A Much Needed Update

Wow, it has been quite some time since I have updated this blog. I swear I have a few good excuses. :lol: But instead of hearing all of my excuses, I will post up one of the many recipes I have been playing with over the past few months.

I have a lot of exciting things happening right now. One, being that I am being featured on ifood.tv.com and will be vlogging more often. Somedays it might be boring, but I hope that I will be able to show the viewers how I create some of my meals, or what a day in my kitchen is like. 

I will also be launching my cookbook website later this... read more 1 comments

Failing to Plan Ahead?

As I prepped some food this morning, I realized what a busy week I have coming up. In order to be sure I stay on plan, I decided to go ahead and weigh out my PWO shakes along with the dry ingredients for my breakfast pancakes. I'm going into this week with a strategy; prep ahead of time so I have no excuses to eat 'off plan'. [caption id="attachment_231" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Take the time to prep food!"][/caption] Isn't managing an organization/business to accomplish a strategy in support of a goal something worth planning? What's your plan? What's your strategy? What's your goal? These are all questions that organizations and businesses discuss and brainstorm about. So, we need... read more 1 comments
