Wellness Wednesday

I love honey!  Not only is it a great natural sweetener, but here are 10 benefits of this magical nectar. 

Tasty Tuesday

I made this yummy-ness for SWAG this week and it was SO good...I will be serving this at our family Thanksgiving this week.  It's a MUST try!!!


Best-Ever Healthy Apple Crisp

• For the apples:
• 5 granny smith apples
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• For the crumble topping:
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples and dice into cubes of approximately equal size. In a large bowl, toss with maple syrup, water, and cinnamon. Pour apples into greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
2. In the same (now empty) bowl, add oats, almond flour, nuts, cinnamon, salt, coconut oil or butter, and maple syrup. Stir crumble topping together and pour into baking dish on top of apples.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until apples are soft, covering pan loosely with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent from over-browning.
4. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Motivation Monday

This has been my motto lately.  I couldn't stop thinking about rope climbs (at the gym I go to)...could I ever do that?  Will I fail at it?   And just this week I finally got to the top of that rope...the feeling afterwards was amazing!  It's SO worth it to work hard for what you want! 

Motivation Monday

This is so true.  Motivation is temporary...we all lose it at some point. 

Fit Friday

Love this!  Give it a try!!!

Topic Thursday

Our mental health is just as (if not more) important than our physical health.  Make sure you are taking care of your whole-self...Mind, Body and Spirit.
