Sweating my Heart Out & NEW [Dairy Free] Power Pumpkin Roll Recipe!!

December 5, 2013 By Kasey 5 Comments

Good morning all! How’s your week going? This morning I sweat my heart out at 6am spin class….literally, I sweat a heart. Do you see it? I must have gotten ready in the dark this morning because half way through spin I looked down and noticed my Under Armour flow tank was on inside out- go me! I’ve been loving the challenge of the spin class 2 days a week – the instructor is awesome & I look forward to the 5am wake up! Even if I obviously can’t dress myself that early So remember last week when I mentioned that on Thanksgiving I made a new [Dairy Free] … [Read more...]

[Dairy Free] Broccoli & Cheddar Butternut Squash Soup Recipe!

November 26, 2013 By Kasey 2 Comments

Helloooo everyone! I originally had another post planned for today but something happened yesterday that changed my plans….Don’t get worried - I had a successful attempt at a Dairy Free Broccoli “Cheddar” Soup!! I honestly don’t stay away from dairy 100% (insert feta cheese here), BUT my digestion usually can digest veggies better than too much dairy & I know many people that are always looking for Dairy Free alternatives to their favorite foods! (be true to you, right!?) You’re probably wondering where the “cheddar” dairy free-ness comes from…well, would you be … [Read more...]

Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Oat Bars!

November 22, 2013 By Kasey 7 Comments

Hi all! Happy FRIDAY! Any fun plans this weekend? If you watch the Rachel Ray show, like I do when I can & want to go to one day, they’ve been doing a count down to Thankgiving and a checklist to start. Anyone out there hosting Thanksgiving this year? Do you create a list? I am totally interested! This year my sister-in-law is hosting Thanksgiving and I swear she was born to host parties – she thinks of EVERYTHING. Last year I made my Apple Pie Chickpea Power Blondies and had everyone guess the secret ingredient (which was chickpeas). So now this year I am trying to think of a new … [Read more...]

TMI Thursday & Sweet/Savory Roasted Carrots!

November 21, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

hi all! Happy Thursday! Yet again, I am hanging at starbs before 8am with the usual crowd here. Got my early 6am spin class in along with some hamstring work. Not that spin isn’t enough of a workout – cause it is – I just like to add some strength in on the days I work my legs with spin so I don’t crush my legs like 4 days a week. If I added in “leg days” to the other days – my legs may not be too happy with me. SO it works for me! Today I did some deadlifts, hamstring curls, glute kickbacks, & bridges after class then spent a good 20 minutes on the foam roller. Today … [Read more...]

ahhh it’s Friday already!? Where has this week gone!? I swear it was just Monday. Ever have a week just fly by so fast you feel like you can’t keep up? That’s me this week. I feel like my to-do list hasn’t budged even though I’ve been non-stop all week! Maybe it’s because we were traveling Sunday back from Baltimore & I didn’t get that “prep” day like I usually do.
