Get Your Fitness Going

Eat It Up!
- Don’t shun the potato. They have loads of good for you vitamins and nutrients. Heather knows this. She also knows how to prepare a good potato – Crispy Roasted Potatoes to be exact.
- If you’re in the mood to start some holiday baking, I suggest starting with some of Kelly’s Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies. They’re the real deal.

- Yet another amazing recipe from Gina – No Bake Chocolate Coco Pumpkin Bars.
- How perfectly fall does this sound – Quinoa Salad with Cranberries + Pecans. I want some for dinner TONIGHT. This is so going on a meal plan soon.

- Make your own hummus with this simple and delicious sounding recipe for Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Hummus from Lindsay.
Reflect & Grow
