This ketchup recipe is awesome because it tastes great but also because it is so healthy. Commercial ketchup is so full of processed sugar; it is one of the first ingredients! This raw version is sweet also, but the sweetness comes from Medjool dates which combine so well with tomatoes that you can’t tell where the sweetness comes from, and they are filled with loads of minerals and nutrition also packed in. As with all raw foods, it is also rich in enzymes, which are so beneficial for our bodies. || Read more
The goal of this workout is to get through 40 reps of 5 different exercises as quickly as you can. And I promise you that that sounds easier than it is! But this workout has some great, fun and dynamic exercises.and you will really feel this in the legs after! I think this is mainly from the first exercise – 3 Pulse Surfer Squat Jumps with Drop Down, as I could feel the burn after 10 reps. This exercise and the 3 Pulse Jump Lunges are great for building strong leg muscles and they work on the glutes, hamstrings and quad muscles, to help create all around strong sexy legs!
I probably should call this a pot luck party as it kind of was and most people brought food, but I was told just to come and as I was running all over town and then just brought there, I just went with it and showed up. It’s the first time not taking a dish to Fatma’s for a party, but I knew she would over prepare as she always does! Fatma makes wonderful food and I want to share some of the dishes she made. I took pics when I first got there mainly of her creations, but there was more food that came after also..and desserts like Live’s lemon cheesecake Mmm! and a coconut mint chia pudding (also made by Fatma). I LOVE raw pot lucks! || Read more
This workout is filled with jumps and will have you jumping all over the place and in every direction. It’s very dynamic and active. The workout has 3 parts, each is made up of tabata intervals and in each tabata you alternate doing 2 exercises. I think it’s a really fun one filled with some great exercises and the time goes by really fast. Hope you like this one too! || Read more
This ab workout is made up of 6 exercises and flows from one into the other, lying sideways on mat you start with a crunch (facing upwards) and then roll over and do an exercise facing down, then roll back and do one facing up, roll over and do one facing down and again one up and one down and that is one round. You do 20 reps of each exercise until the last one which has 10. I found it best to memorize the order and when I wrote it on a piece of paper found that was enough to help remember them so I could just go through the sequence easily. || Read more
Olive tapenade is a wonderful savory spread for on crackers. It;s great as an appetizer or as a snack. I like using black kalamata olives to make this but you can use many other types. For green olive tapenade just switch to green olives. Similarly the herbs used can be changed to change the taste. I like my olive tapenade a little garlicky but not spicy, for the most part. But again, you can change this by adding a little chili, cayenne, sambal or favorite hot sauce if you would like some spice and lowering garlic if you prefer less. This is my favorite way to make olive tapenade and so this recipe makes a good guide to go by. || Read more
This 12 minute workout has 3 tabata parts in it (Follow that link to read more on tabatas!). Each of the parts has 2 exercises in it: a crunch type ab exercise and a plank type exercise, also great for the abs. The time goes by quick and because you are alternating the exercises you just have 4 periods for each of them, so put as much into each one as you can so that you really feel it afterwards and so you get the most out of the workout. || Read more
