I had a really interesting experience at the gym the other day. A client at the gym came in for a 'bod-pod' analysis. Essentially, a body composition measurement tool that would tell her the percentage of her body that is fat mass vs. lean mass. It's considered one of...
How to Cook for Different Tastes at the Same Table.
[Welcome back to the blog my sister, Nicki! As always, Nicki is here to serve up (pun intended) some fab suggestions for all things food related. A frequent question I get from people is, "How do I get my partner/kids on board with my new healthier eating habits?"....
Berry and Walnut Pancakes (Grain & Dairy Free)
