No gym, no equipment, no problem!
Last year during the holidays you loved the body weight workout I shared, so you could keep up with your fitness anywhere you might find yourself. Here's a new one for this year! I have two videos for this one. Part 1 gives some technique tips and shows you each...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
There's nothing I love more than healthier alternative to a standard desert. These cookies mix up quickly, however they don't make a whole lot. You could look at that as a good thing; less indulgence and some portion control. Or you could just double the recipe! I...
