I get it, there never seems to be enough time. You want to eat right, but you don’t have time to cook healthy meals every day of the week. All the recipes you find take too long, have too many ingredients, or too much clean-up.
Not these. Here are 15 ways to use shredded chicken to have dinner on the table in a flash!
Read MoreKryptonite Foods- we've all got them. You know what I’m talking about, right? Those food items that you can't stop eating. You can't control yourself around them, no matter how hard you try. Moderation? Forget about it. These foods sap every ounce of willpower you have, leaving you weak and helpless. Powerless. Just like superman.
I also call these foods Dalmatian Foods.

Read MoreHas it happened to you?
You know someone who has gone on a diet, and it actually worked! They’ve lost a significant amount of weight, and they tell you they feel great.

Read MoreIt’s that time of year again…
The time of year when my husband consistently says our house smells like a Mexican restaurant, and I’m not even mad about it.
We’ve been eating Taco Salads and avocado everything for weeks now, and our normal go-to weekend breakfast/brunch of eggs and a Kodiak Waffle has gone south. South of the border, that is. Hello Huevos Rancheros!
Read MoreEasy to make, quiches take your brunch game up a level.
But, they’re not only great for brunch. I love a good quiche at any time of the day. And this Ham and Swiss Quiche? Quick and easy to assemble. It does take 45 minutes to bake, but you don’t have to babysit it. Just put it in, and let it go!

Read MoreExperienced traveler. Your GO-TO place for motivation, accountability, balanced life tips, and, well... the FRICKin Good Life with Erin Frick: Fit Life Coach; recovering perfectionist, people pleaser and clearance rack shopper.
Last month, I made a life changing decision.
I bought a second laundry basket.
“Really Erin? Life changing?”
Yes.
“Tell me more…”
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).
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…
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.
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.
