Fitness, food, motherhood and life at the Quarry
When life spirals out of control… you buy smoothies. Hi, friends, it’s been awhile. It hasn’t been a lack for anything to say, it’s been more of a lack of time. In October, my office moved about 15 miles north, and my in-office schedule changed. My position changed slightly, with my duties being focused more […]

There’s a backstory to the reason why I’ve gotten back on the “make your own protein, good for you snacks” train, but really, I know I just scroll by most of the “backstories” on other recipe posts, and not to mention – I’ve seen the abundance of memes popping up lately saying: Just get to […]
Read MoreOne of the things that has happened in my adult life is an interest in trying new foods. I’ve tasted, and fallen in love with foods from all over the world. Some foods, that if you told my 18-year old self a decade and a half ago that I’d enjoy – I’d have laughed at […]
Read MoreLet’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 MoreLife never really goes as expected. Yet, we never fail to hope, and in some way, expect that it will. The entire time I was trying to get pregnant, and even when that miracle finally came, I had expected to gain a crap ton of weight. On both sides of my family, history shows a […]
Read MoreThis week’s is a special Foodie Friday blog. It touches on that infamous “eating for two” many, if not all, pregnant woman hear during their pregnancies. Pregnancy brings out the worst in people. Really. It does. Just like with working out, parenting, driving, etc… Suddenly, the day everyone finds out your pregnant, you meet all […]
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 MoreThe thing about the technology age is…. it’s easier to get information. Easier to “research” and easier to self-educate. It’s also what’s wrong with the technology age. 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 […]
