Today's post comes to you from the Bruner kitchen. I am actually shocked that I haven't really mentioned my Vitamix yet considering it's my 4th love (just behind Rusty and our two pups). This thing can be used to make pretty much any dish. It's fast, it cleans itself, and no kitchen should be without [...]
I meant what I said when I titled this blog post. In my case, a little planning is going to go a long way.... all the way to Utah this weekend... I have a routine I follow in the days leading up to a travel weekend, and this week is no different. I get to [...]

*NOTE: This is one of my earliest posts. My mindset and focus as a Nutritionist Consultant has changed a lot with education, and I now focus first on nutrient-density and then on balancing macros, BUT I still believe whole heartedly that everyone should measure food at least once to get a good grasp of what [...]
