Twisted Key Lime Pie

June 19, 2013

Need a healthier alternative to a delicious summer favorite? We found this Twisted Key Lime Pie recipe on Run Hard Eat Clean. So we decided to make some, with some changes. For the original recipe refer to the link above. Even though the Twisted Key Lime Pie is made from avocados, it tastes like a key lime pie. There is an avocado taste, so if you’re like Fatima and hate…

Favorite Running Spot

May 20, 2013

Fatima and I love running. For me, it’s a great way to relieve stress. Fun fact #1 – Fatima was a champion track runner in high school. Fun fact #2 – I was a mid-field position in soccer (aka run up and down the field). Running has been part of our lives. One time in college, over winter break, we went out for a run on an unusually mild winter day.…

Cucumber Salmon

May 8, 2013

Cucumbers are so refreshing. Pairing them with fish, like salmon, can make a great summer appetizer for your parties. Topping it off with a citrus-lime topping – BAM – you’re the master of party hosting. The appetizer, yummy and healthy, might bring hesitation to your guests. Salmon on cucumber? How can that be hearty? It might not be hearty, but cucumber salmon will appease your health-conscious guests. …

Oatmeal and Flaxseed Buttermilk Pancakes

April 17, 2013

Chocolate chips are optional. When you want to feel like you’ve eaten a healthy breakfast without having to taste carrots, spinach, oatmeal, flaxseed, whey protein powder…etc…just make some delicious pancakes. What’s great about oatmeal (in pretty much anything) is that it gets all mushy when blended well into the dishes you prepare – especially batter. Flaxseed, yes you can see it, but you can’t taste it. So why add oatmeal…

7 Day Cleanse

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, a nutritionist, nor a fitness guru. The purpose of this cleanse was to give an account of my overall experience and should not be used as your sole source for dieting information. Please consult your doctor before any diet changes or regimen. I found this cleanse on a site off of Pinterest, but it has disappeared from my board. I googled the Wonder Soup…

Cleanse Day 7: Rice

March 10, 2013

Cleanse Day 7: Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume. Oh my! Today is the last day of the cleanse, woof! Rice, fruit juices, and veggies all day. I’m ok with rice, I could eat that and be satisfied all day. But after Fatima said I would be “backed up” if I ate only rice, I thought I…

Cleanse Day 6: Beef and Veggies

March 9, 2013

Cleanse Day 6: Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content. Hunger ensues. I was so hungry this morning. I had the last piece of steak for breakfast with a side of sugar snap peas (the last of them). I officially ran out of veggies so I wasn’t able to pack a lunch. I thought I would leave my…

Cleanse Day 5: Feast Day

March 8, 2013

Cleanse Day Five: You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. Increase your water intake by about a quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. Today I get to eat steak, tomatoes, and drink lots of water. Boring? Maybe. I felt like it would be a normal…

Cleanse Day 4: Wonder Soup

March 7, 2013

Cleanse Day Four: Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special Wonder Soup which may be eaten in unlimited quantities. Gassy. That’s today’s word of the day. So today, I started the cleanse off with a banana, a bowl of soup, and a glass of milk. Weird? Yes. I made the soup last night in the…

Cleanse Day 3: Fruits and Veggies

March 6, 2013

Cleanse Day 3: A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No Bananas (yet), no potatoes. I licked an oreo today. I didn’t eat it, but I licked it, just once. Maybe twice…Those are just the cravings talking, not hunger. Surprisingly, I felt really good today on the cleanse. Energized, cleared mind, and lighter. I started off the day with guacamole (modified): 1 avocado, red…

Cleanse Day 2: Vegetables

March 5, 2013

Cleanse Day 2: All vegetables. Like with yesterday’s fruit, eat all the vegetables you want today! Start your day with a large baked potato for breakfast (see my prep work below). Remember to drink 10 glasses of water. Enjoy your baked potato. To help you get through the day, I included my baked potato recipe below. You’re allowed to use butter. This will be your complex carbohydrate. For the rest…

Cleanse Day 1: Fruit

March 4, 2013

I found this 7 day cleanse on Pinterest. But I can’t find it anymore. It disappeared from my board, so I hope that doesn’t mean it’s a scam… I’m trying this out because I’ve never done a cleanse before. I want to be able to try out the cleanse and give a first hand account day by day. I’m a HUGE sweet tooth, so I’m anticipating some strong cravings later…

Chicken Stew

February 4, 2013

Now that winter has finally settled in, time to start cooking some more hearty and healthy bowls of warmth! Even just looking at the ingredient list, you can tell this stew will be delicious and good for you. Very easy to make, the ingredients will cost you just under $7 – assuming you have olive oil already in stock. This stew lasted me an entire week! One bowl a day…

Cucumber Salmon

January 28, 2013

At half time, just before Beyonce performs, you walk into the living room with your new appetizer. The room, wanting more of your delicious food, turn their heads to you, their eyes following your every move. Hesitation sets in. What is it? Will it be good? Staring awkwardly at your creation, the room is silent. Your toughest critic, the 12 year old cousin who hates all food unless topped with ketcup, gets…

Regardless if you have been in the gym or are just starting to get back to a regular scheduled workout routine, here’s a refreshing protein shake for the peanut butter lover (taken from Abs Diet).

Homemade BBQ Sauce

August 29, 2012

Hello! My name’s Ashley and I’m a friend (and now guest blogger!) on Lilies and Loafers. We like to do lots of things together like run in the Color Run, drinks lots and lots of Marquis-ritas, and share recipes. I decided to make their Turkey Meatball recipe Monday night for dinner but ran into one big problem…I don’t do jar sauces. This may sound really snooty, but I fault my…
