Tips to Help You Eat Healthier and Save Money

     Yes I know it has been forever. This life is crazy as we all know, so I've been quite busy. However, I've gotten a mild cold, which has allowed me to slow down a bit and get a chance to write. It's been a while since I've written about one of my favorite subject, food. Mmmm...food...

     So many people claim to not have the time to cook and, by default, eat healthy. No, I'm sorry, Lean Cuisine definitely doesn't count. Some people think it costs more to eat healthy, while that is somewhat true, it really doesn't have to break the bank. Yes, I won't deny eating grass-fed beef is definitely not a cheaper option, but if you can't afford grassy cows doesn't mean you need to settle for Tyson's Anytizers either, chicken does not have nuggets.

Tips and Tricks after the break...

Thanks Google!

Motivation, motivation, motivation

Howdy! Sorry I've lacked in consistency lately. My life has currently been doing a tour on the struggle bus, so I've been MIA. I won't bore you with the details because everyone's got problems.

Anyway, I'm an avid gym-goer, and for the most part always have been. Most regulars get annoyed around this time of year. Everyone's got a new year's resolution to lose X amount of weight and this usually results in a line for your favorite machine, not enough room at the benches, etc., etc. It's about this time when the gym starts to calm down and get back to its normal self. However, I'm not like most people, I get kinda sad when this happens. It feels as if an entire population either got "too busy" or gave up on their dream. America isn't the only overweight nation out there, trust me and although I slowly see certain societal images changing here there is still a big problem (seriously no pun intended). Not to mention even if you look a "normal" weight to the general population, if you can still have self-image issues, and you deserve to want to look your best.

I'm dedicating this post for ways to stay motivated and on top of your body-image goals. After the break there will be tips and tricks for even small things you can do to keep yourself on track toward your goal.

Please excuse all of my lame images, I'm having too much fun on Google image search this morning...

M's Big Bad Bangin Chili Recipe

     This blog has MOVED! Check out https://adventuresoffoxintheforest.wordpress.com/ for more adventure and travel ideas!
   
 Fall/winter is one of my favorite cooking seasons for one main reason...crock pot recipes. I'm the kinda gal who can mow down on some chili any time of the year, but there is something special about chili in the cold or during a (Boncos) tailgate. I've included some great substitutions for this basic of all recipes. This one can also easily become paleo perfect as well. Feel free to expand and add your own flavor. Nervous? Just do what feels right...and ya - that's what she said.

These are super detailed instructions - for good reason. If you've never cooked before I promise you that you will be able to make a kick ass chili in several different ways after reading this post.
