This was a yoga day. I will start by saying I am by no means a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, dietitian, or any other type of expert when it comes to health and fitness. Although, these careers have crossed my mind as well as been suggested to me by others who know my passions. What…
Easy Delicious Vegetarian Summer Salad
Summer is almost officially here, and with it some of my most favorite fresh foods. I always look forward to the farmers markets and when our grocery stores get in all the locally grown produce. Certainly, I feel so blessed to have access to pretty much anything we desire to eat year round. But there’s…
Super Easy Homemade Caramel Mocha Iced Coffee
We all love the specialty coffee drinks from our favorite beloved coffee shops. However, the reality is that they are very expensive, especially for someone like me who drinks coffee in excess.

Healthy Homemade Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars
I have bought and tried so many protein bars over the years in hopes of finding the right combo of ingredients, texture, taste, and price. And certainly I have found a few store bought favorites.

Coffee Love
Coffee is one of the most consumed good on the planet. My personal love affair with coffee began years ago and can be directly blamed on my husband. I never drank it before I met him. He comes from a coffee loving family, and insisted early on in our marriage that we get a coffee…
Minimal Living
What is minimal living? I bet if you asked 20 people you would probably get 20 different answers. I think minimal living means something different for everyone who is interested in the idea of it. If you research minimal living you will find a huge range of lifestyles ranging from people who can fit every…
Staying Busy During Covid-19 Lockdown
When this pandemic lockdown began, for those of us in Michigan around March 23, I am betting none of us could have guessed that it would have lasted as long as it has. I had to make a tough personal decision to stop working the week before our State shutdown. I would be lying if…
Quarantine Life Made Me Do It
Hello there! My name is Des and I love the simple things. A great cup of coffee, a walk in the woods, and spending time with my family. I love all things health and fitness. I’m also a vegetarian foodie and spend a great deal of my free time in the kitchen cooking and eating….
