Fitness, food, motherhood and life at the Quarry
Let’s start a new trend here. This is for all of my busy mommas out there who want to get in shape, but just don’t have the time. The mommas who work all day, tend to the household duties, and the kids. The stay at home mommas who don’t have a spare minute between keeping […]
Read MoreTwo things have changed in my life so far since becoming a mom. The first, it’s always going to take at least an hour for me to get out of the house now. The second? Getting my nutritional needs on target each day is a lot harder now. Eating when I’m hungry isn’t always a […]
Read MoreIn the midst of all the insanity that is often known as my life, the only other thing that calms my mind and body as much as the gym is cooking. Normally this time of year, with school sports in a lull and waiting for the Spring seasons to start, I have limitless amounts of […]
Read MoreNow, let me start this off by saying, after my experience with cottage cheese brownies, I’m very skeptical of anything made with cottage cheese. Anything. But, I really wanted to try a new Alfredo sauce, and happened to find at The Gracious Pantry (of course, where else would I find it?) a recipe for Tex […]
Read MoreIn the summer time, I’m a big light flavor person. When I indulge in a beer, it’s a light beer (Sam Adam’s Porch Rocker comes to mind…). And I like things that are simple, quick and easy to throw together and toss on the grill. Chicken and pork are always my go-to’s for meal prep […]

It’s easier to find misinformation, because well… everyone thinks they know more than Joe Schmoe over there and vice versa. At the same time, it also gives new […]
Read MoreIf you’re like me in the Summer time, you’re pressed for time six days out of seven. It’s too hot for the crockpot or the stove, and taking the time to prep and cook something is a pain. My summer meals consist more of “season and toss on the grill” or “marinate and toss on […]
Read MoreOne of the most basic and simplest concepts of working out is, eating. You need to eat to grow and you need to eat to perform. It’s something I learned very, very early on in this journey. Which is why, when I read or hear things like “you can’t ever do cardio if you want […]
Read MoreThree things are constant in my house… Music. Being active. And grilling. Despite living in the Northeast where it gets to be negative-two million degrees outside in the dead of winter and snow falls in feet, not inches — I grill year round. I can’t help but chuckle when photos pop up on Twitter or […]
Read MoreI like to make a lot of “one dish” kind of meals at dinner. Mostly because it’s really easy to prep, super quick to make and with my outrageously busy schedule? Perfect for my lifestyle.
