I have been a lazy blogger this month. Maybe it is the time change or the weather change. My creative juices have been more like a stagnant puddle. On an exciting note; my presentation at the gym went great! I even managed to bring on a new client 🙂 I am so excited! I love helping people find joy through healthy living!
I plan to cook a bunch this week, so I will share an awesome recipe I tried from my favorite site (SkinnyTaste.com). This is a great choice for a busy week because it calls for the use of the beloved crock pot! I don’t think I have shared my affinity for slow cooking. It is like having someone (or something) cook for you! Enjoy!
