Lots of food faces going on in my new weekly segment “What’s in your pantry?” With Rene Knott of KSDK news!

Every Monday at 5am and 6am (record it, only Rene is up that early during quarantine ) we share awesome recipes using items you already have in your pantry (hello, fewer trips to the store!)!

It’s fun and funny mostly because Rene is hilarious and I make faces like this! See you on channel 5 on Monday!

When I decided I wanted to lose 10lbs in January, I had no idea I was going to learn so much about cravings and where they come from.

Turns out, cravings were what was preventing me from living at my ideal weight! Cravings and emotional eating are what prevent most of us from reaching our weight goals.

It's now my mission to help others learn how to manage cravings, so they can get to their goal weight. 

I'm now working on offering a class that is going to be incredibly helpful and give you all the tools I didn't have when I got started with my weight goal. I can't wait to see you there!

Get creative in the kitchen to beat stress! This has been helping me so much. 

Not to mention all the benefits to:
your immune system
your health
mental health
family bonding

I recently used the pulp of my turmeric-ginger-Apple juice to marinate shrimp and it was outstanding, and so good for the bod

Give yourself permission to get creative in the kitchen! Don't worry about the outcome, just have fun and let your inner chef shine. Who knows what delicious dish will be born from pure creativity!

There's an easy way out.....hide in front of the TV, on social media. But when this is over, because it will end...

How will you be better for it?
Will you have grown?
Evolved?
Become better because of this challenge?

There are so many ways to use this challenge to your advantage! To use this time wisely (and that doesn't mean you can't watch Netflix!).

How can you use this time to become better, learn something new, create something awesome?!

There are so many ways!

• learn a new skill you've always been interested in
• read that book that's been sitting on your shelf for months 
• draw, paint, create
• write - a poem, a short story, a journal entry, your goals, your desires, your manifestations
• get in the kitchen and have fun cooking creatively!
• Focus on your fitness - yoga, running/walking, online workout videos
• daydream, see where your thoughts go when you let your thoughts flow freely without direction

The opportunities are endless during this time of self exploration....

For years, it was my job to get up on stage and talk to people about eating healthy at home. The only problem was no one was eating at home!!

Cooking is not common anymore. I could talk until I was blue in the face, but I never felt as though I was helping anyone.

At that time, I hadn't created a process for meal prepping, something I could take people through step by step to show them how easy recipes, grocery shopping and the actual cooking can be. A process that would detail how and where you can save time and money by cooking at home (not hitting the drive-thru 3 times a day!).

Now, I do have that process, and I am going to be walking you through it start to finish in my FREE webinar this Thursday!!

I will show you the very simple process of recipes, grocery shopping and cooking that will literally change your life for the better (especially right now).

Don't hesitate to register below, all are welcome but spots are limited! See you Friday : )

You are invited to a Zoom...

We are all meal prepping right now because that is one of the few options we have!!

It might feel like you're missing something, or you're not doing it right.....there really is a process behind the madness!

If you're struggling, my first suggestion would be to plan ahead!

• Know exactly what you're going to make
• Know exactly what you need to buy
• Make enough time to get it all done, start to finish, in one go

My second suggestion is try The Meal Prep Course! I break down the full process, walk you through step by step, and then we get to cooking in the kitchen together! It is really incredible.

These "what I ate in a day" are a lot of fun (for me ). This was a typical day for me:

I started with a green smoothie; this one was zucchini, spinach, flax, avocado, spirulina, and collagen.

For lunch, I mixed half a can of tuna with whole grain mustard and Trader Joes everything but the bagel seasoning. I used sliced zucchini like chips and dipped it into the tuna salad alongside some hummus.

Ever since I brought the cheese cracker recipe on Show Me St.Louis I have been eating them non-stop. So good! I snacked on those in the afternoon. They are perfect when you want something salty and crunchy, but don't want all the carbs.

For dinner, I had sliced romaine, the other half of the can of tuna mixed the same as at lunch with steamed broccoli (topped with parmesan cheese ).

This is my favorite way to eat; tons of green veggies balanced with protein and a little cheese

TAKE THE POWER BACK! Your health is in your control, you can do this!!

There are so many incredible ways to empower yourself to live a healthier life:

• Get outside and move your body
• Learn a new skill (the brain loves a challenge, healthy mind = healthy body)
• Take a cooking class
• Stock your fridge with healthy ingredients
• Do a brain puzzle
• Work up a sweat
• Connect with a friend
• Read a book
• Get creative

Use this time to better yourself, rather than waste it. You got this!

Planning is everything, especially right now as we continue to live in quarantine! If meal prep has been challenging for you in the past, it is not because you are not a good cook, it's because you lacked planning!

Right now especially there may have been very little planning in the food you have in your house, so let's put some new skills to use!

Sign up for The Meal Prep Course (available NOW!!) and put that food to use!

There could not be a better time to learn a new skill, especially one that is going to save you time, money and benefit your health for a lifetime. Get the discount by clicking HERE and signing up! 

Let's rock this out!

I remember when I was first getting started as a business owner. I couldn’t wait to get through the problems I was experiencing to the other side where they would no longer burden me.

Some of those issues took me over a year to work through: fear of getting started, worry over quitting my job, anxiety that no one would like my product.

When I got to the other side of those issues though, there was only momentary relief, and then....more problems to work through! More fear, worry, anxiety, doubt.

The grass is never greener my friends! Do things in your life because they are important to you, not because you think they will magically make your life better.

This is something I’m carrying with me as I lose weight, too. I’m not doing it because I think a thinner body will magically give me confidence or make me happier. I’m doing it for me; because it’s a challenge I want to work through, because it will make me grow and evolve in ways that sitting on the...
