When I was training for a half marathon, I’ll be honest, I really had to watch what I ate because I was hungry all the time. I tried to eat fruits and veggies and get in any extra nutrients that I could.

The short videos that appear on the pages are tempting but no recipe accompanies them, Of interest is the strawberry cake. I would love to make it but there’s no measurements for the ingredients with the video. How may we find that one, please?

Very healthy. Where does the Caramel Cobbler fit in here? After breakfast or lunch?
Nicky Hudelson says
I can live off of salads:) and I tend to fix steak or chicken with herb seasoning to go on it (enough for 2 or more salads and save the extra) so I don't use salad dressing.
Just dropping in doing a little Bloglovin' reading:) Hope you have a great day!
