Mornings can be tough, even for the most organized person. With work, kiddos who need to get ready for school, and a to-do list that gets longer by the minute, it may be hard to feel like you can get in all your healthy habits in the morning.

I can completely relate, which is why I’ve simplified my morning routine into just a few items that allow me to have a productive morning in a calm way…which then leads to a day that is productive and calm (although calm is always subject to change…LOL)...

Very often I hear people talk about "stress" eating. You are doing so well on your healthy eating plan and then BAM, life throws you a stressful curve ball.

I will admit that with all my weight struggles in the past, I have never been one to "stress eat." But my sister and mother had often turned to food for comfort during tough times, so I've seen this first hand.

I can vividly remember one situation, several years ago, that almost threw my mother and I into some "stress eating"...

I absolutely love cooking, and I often call myself a mad scientist in the kitchen, doing my best to come up with healthy alternatives to some of today's most common processed and unhealthy foods.

Today I want to share with you one of my new favorite morning recipes that is jam-packed with incredibly healthy benefits with just a few "shakes."

If you don't already know about the health benefits of turmeric, you might be amazed to know how powerful this little yellow spice can be.
