Best Zucchini EVER

I ended up growing some mega MONSTER zucchini in my garden this year!!!

I've put it in sauces, soups,

Roasted it, made it into noodles...

But this is by FAR my favorite way to eat it!!!

Grilled!!!  

Seriously.... just slice 

Add some Cajun seasoning....

And....GRILL on the BBQ!!!

Seriously!! I could eat these every day!!

My poor husband is gonna have to fire up the grill every night untill I run out of Zucchini !! 

Having a garden has been the most FUN and DELICIOUS blessing!!!!

End of Summer Shakeology Frozen Yogurt

Oh dear... I'm in frustrating mandated 'rest mode' with this bum shoulder. If not being able to workout hard makes me want to do anything it's EAT!! But, I choose to focus on my nutrition and commit to heal and not be so hard on myself.


I ate GREAT today!! And instead of caving into ice cream on a hot Summer day I made Shakeology Frozen Yogurt instead! This stuff is so good I even caught my toddler red handed with her fingers in it while it was freezing. Try it out for yourself:

Shakeology Frozen Yogurt

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1/2 of a ripe banana
1/2 cup chocolate Shakeology

Put it all in a blender and blend until smooth. Put in freezer until soft/frozen and enjoy!!

Try it with a drizzle of peanut butter on top (or with a little whipped cream if you must!).

Kids & Fresh Garden Pesto

My kids are OBSESSED with spaghetti squash... and lucky for them it has taken over our garden!! We also have some tasty cherry tomatoes growing so I whipped up a fresh Cherry Tomato Pesto to put on our baked spaghetti squash and tilapia.

I'm figuring out that my kids get soooo excited to eat things that they GREW themselves and that makes for happy kids and a happy Mama!! #veggiesforthewin

This pesto is so versatile and so EASY to make. Here is the recipe: 

Cherry Tomato Pesto

1 cup baby spinach

1 1/2 cups Fresh Basil

1 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes

2 tbsp Olive oil

2 cloves garlic Blend!!! Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese! You can heat it slowly on low heat till warm or serve it room temperature!!!

But what if I FAIL?!

Happy Monday everyone!! We made it to Utah safe and sound and are excited to spend a few days here. I almost forgot how AMAZING these mountains are. 

The past few years have been A LOT of hard work. They have not been many tears shed and sweat and hard work put into reaching our goals. We're not quite there yet but we have made so much progress together. And you know what the best part is? We have FAILED along the way.

Wait, did I just say that was the BEST part?? Yep, I sure did!!  No matter how dedicated we are to our goals or how self motivated we are it is nearly impossible to completely avoid the 'F' word: failure.

Failure can shape and motivate us and we might even find that things end up working out better than we ever could have imagined. Michael Jordan said, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." What a great attitude to have!!

The next video in my 'Goal Diggers' series is about what I've learned about failure and how to manage it and use it for motivation. If you're interested in joining one of my upcoming challenge groups then click here for a brief sign up form to get notified of what is happening next.
