Do you have plans for Cinco de Mayo? Yes, I know this weekend is Saint Patrick’s Day, so you’re probably thinking about Guinness, corned beef, boiled potatoes and whisky. And I can’t blame you. I’m a huge fan of a good Irish Stew or Shepard’s pie. But, you know what I like even more?

Mexican food. All of the Mexican food. Mexican, Tex-Mex, Americanized Mexican, and even that random taco stand down the street. Don’t get me wrong, I love food from other Central American countries as well (My sister makes a delish Nica Salad… I’ll have to convince her to share her recipe), but right now, my brain is thinking about Cinco de Mayo, and Mexican.

Yes, I know Cinco de Mayo is more of an American Holiday… I’ve made that disclaimer both times I’ve shared my recipes previously (You can find them here and here). That being said, as I mentioned previously I love this food, and I’ll embrace any reason to eat it. I know I’m not alone because Taco Tuesday is a thing. (And I’m not sad about it, one bit.)

I Was Unprepared

Halloween candy. Ugh.

Truth is, I don’t even like it. Maybe it’s because I have re-trained my taste buds to enjoy better quality food or maybe it’s because I know what’s in the candy and how it impacts my body (headaches & breakouts anyone?).

But there it sat, staring at me.

I knew it wasn't worth it. Sure, I love peanut butter and chocolate together. So Reese’s are a temptation. But truth is, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s and Justin‘s peanut butter cups are better than Reese’s.

I said what I said.

You Need Help

Last month, I made a life changing decision.

I bought a second laundry basket.

“Really Erin? Life changing?”

Yes.

“Tell me more…”

Starting Over

Does the idea of “starting over” make you want to quit before you even begin? I get it. I’ve been there. I am there.

I’ve definitely had my shares of physical (and fitness) ups and downs. In fact, for the first almost 30 years of my life I was on a health roller-coaster. I would make progress over and over again only to backslide every time, often to a worse situation than I was in before I “started” (again).

What does a Personal Trainer buy at ALDI?

My Mom is obsessed with ALDI.

My sister’s finance is obsessed with ALDI.

I have clients that are obsessed with ALDI.

In fact… a LOT of people are obsessed with ALDI. I find that the middle ground is murky when it comes to ALDI. People either love it, or they (think) think they hate it.

So what do I buy at ALDI? Let’s get into it…

Almond Butter Muffins {Freezer meal}

Hangry toddlers are the worst.

Okay, so are hangry husbands… and sisters, and… well, I’m sure teens and tweens aren’t much better. But as of this point in my life, most of my day to day experience is dealing with the toddler and husband situation.

Which is why it’s not just nice but critical to have quick, easy, healthy, filling, and satisfying meals and snacks on hand. And these banana almond butter muffins deliver in all of those areas.
