I LOVE banana bread but not all the refined flour and sugar that it is typically made with so I found a healthier version at Chocolate Covered Katie. I adapted it slightly to the one I posted below. Kudos to Katie for a fantastic recipe! This, of course, does not taste exactly like banana bread […]

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” ~Confusius Several weeks ago I posted unhappily about how I was my highest weight in 10 years. Admitting something like that is not easy for me – I don’t like showing up on social media not looking like my most […]

A little goes a long way with granola – it can be high in calories but it is packed with healthy fats and fiber-filled carbs. Ideally I will eat no more than 2 spoonfuls per day to give me my daily fiber, nuts and seeds. When I started with 21 Day Fix and I decided […]

ADMISSION…. (and I hate posting this in public) I am the heaviest I’ve been in TEN YEARS! I am not happy with this, in fact, this is the time of year when I tend lose my winter weight. Instead, I went the opposite direction. I blame working from home during COVID. I also blame poor […]

Allrighty … When I initially heard that Ultimate Portion Fix(UPF) was coming out I was thinking – WHY????  What could you possibly add to 21 Day Fix to make UPF worth the purchase. Well …. the easy answer is A LOT!  I always enjoy learning about healthy eating and knowing what’s best for energizing and […]

They say that social media displays only the highlight reel – this is SO true. For this reason I want to be real for a minute. I have had the honor of meeting many of my social media friends in person. It’s pretty darn awesome. What I realize in my conversations with these online friends […]

For the remainder of the year I am hosting the #Last90Days challenge which created by Rachel Hollis.  I love that there is a challenge like this that helps us to end the year as strong as we started it! We are doing this challenge in my Facebook group . Whether you’re sure that you want to commit to […]

Over a year ago I changed my Instagram handle to PBandJen and with that, I made it my responsibility seek out and share healthy recipes with peanut (or almond) butter in the ingredient list.  This has been a YUMMY past-time! My followers and subscribers keep asking me for links to those recipes, so I decided to consolidate my list […]

I made this recipe for the first time in years!! Keep in mind that I use this recipe as a guideline. Since the two heads of cabbage I purchased for this yields far more than 5 cups, I just include all of the cabbage and double the quantities used for the dressing. When I made this […]

People talk about diets vs healthy eating. To avoid criticism, I say I’m on a “nutrition plan”. In reality… I’m on a diet. Right now I’m following a nutrition plan for 80 days – timed, portion controlled clean eating. I definitely won’t be doing this long term.   Here is why I like my diets (… […]
