‘Tis the season for delicious little treats . . . gingerbread and chocolate things are my favorite, so I’ve combined the two in an easy, no-bake, healthy way! Plus, each truffle only has 5g net carbs! 
Get my recipe for Low Carb Chocolate Gingerbread Protein Truffles using a plant-based protein powder and sugar-free chocolate chips – seems like such a treat, but a very balanced snack to keep you powered up and satisfied between running holiday errands and actually running – or working out!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, queue the music! The holidays are finally here, and by incorporating watermelon into the Thanksgiving through New Year’s season, the time is something even more joyful (and juicy) to celebrate. 
Some may associate watermelon with only the warm-weather months, but I’m here to spread the good cheer – watermelon is an amazingly versatile and economical fruit that can be enjoyed 365 days a year. In fact, watermelon is a super delicious and decidedly healthful way to bring family and friends together and make memories wherever you may be gathered. Read on to find out my strategies to survive and thrive through the holidays with watermelon.
Oh, I’ve held a holiday brunch or two in my day . . . in fact, it’s what I bring to the collective family celebrating. My parents host a big Christmas eve dinner, and then on Christmas morning, everyone wakes up, checks out what Santa left in the stockings and then heads to my house for more season’s feasting! 
I’m not a graceful waker-upper, and on Christmas morn have historically had to manage the chaos and excitement from my little elves – who are now older and would quite likely sleep through stockings and brunch if you let them, oof! However, despite the luxury of sleeping in a bit, I still like to prep as many of the menu items a day or two ahead. This way, I’m not running around like the Grinch on the most wonderful day of the year. I’m sharing some of my most requested Christmas brunch and holiday breakfast ideas, many of which can be meal-prepped and kept in the fridge or freezer for no-stress holiday entertaining.

Celebrate the holiday season in sweet style or add more merry to an everyday winter meal with this Festive Winter Fruit Salad with Chia Seed Dressing.

Featuring the best picks of winter fruits, including a few year-round staples (bananas to the rescue!), this winter fruit salad is dressed up with a lightly sweet-tangy poppyseed dressing. It’s a lovely addition to any holiday or Christmas brunch and or even to liven up packed lunches for work or school. Continue reading

As the mom of three young adult males, wife to lifelong athlete and hardcore fitness fan myself, I can confidently call myself an expert on the gear needs and desires of a sporty family. First, there’s “needing” something essential for the playing of a particular sport – like shin guards, or a helmet or a running bra that fits just right. Other times (and probably more frequently), there’s the wishing of some epic new gear, like those buzz-worthy sneakers that just dropped, a jersey in support of a favorite team, or some fancy sunglasses.
The holiday season is always a great time for me to gear up my family (and myself) with sports and fitness gifts. Whether we are training for and competing in our individual sports, or enjoying some fit family togetherness during off-season, vacation or a few found moments of free time, athletic gifts from adidas is a simple and stylish way to treat the squad -everyone is happy! Read for these mom-approved gifts for the sports and fitness fans in your family.
