Fall, Sweet Fall

Fall can be pretty SWEET, huh?

Want to make it sweeter? I created a little Fall-inspired dessert collection to share with you today. While these are "healthified" in that they use real ingredients that are less inflammatory than most of what we can buy out there, they are still indulgences! So rather than swap out your healthy PFF (protein, fat, and fiber) meal for one of these, you'll be better off having them in place of a typical store-bought indulgence on occasion.



A healthy lifestyle gets us our goals AND includes indulgences. Finding that balance is KEY. Hope THIS COLLECTION helps. ;-)

Can you build breasts or a butt from exercise?

"Tara, can I build breasts and / or a butt from exercising?"

As soon as I received this question last week, I knew I needed to address it in a video as it's a big topic.



What's in our power? And what, exactly, can we do?



What's not in our power? And how do we make peace with that?

P.S. I can't believe it's December 22nd already! If you haven't grabbed my copy of Smart Cookie: Healthified Holiday Desserts e-cookbook and would like to do some gluten-free, dairy-free baking and dessert-making between now and the New Year, GRAB IT NOW. It's only available for just over a week longer! Makes for a great last-minute gift idea, too. ;-)

Smart Cookie: Healthified Holiday Desserts Recipe E-Book

It's baaaaaaaaaack! (Well, almost)

If you've been hanging with me here for at least a year, than you might remember that last year I created a holiday-themed e-recipe book filled with DESSERTS. It's called Smart Cookie and contains 42 recipes that are free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. Some are baked goods, some are easy peasy no bake, and others use the crockpot or stove top. EVERY kind of nostalgic holiday flavor your heart (and mouth) desires like pumpkin, chocolate, cranberry, apple, gingerbread, cinnamon, hazelnut, etc.


This e-recipe book is an instant download. This means as soon as you purchase it, you get your very own link to download TWO copies -- the pretty one with all the mouth-watering pictures and the printer-friendly one in case you don't wanna use up all your printer's ink. ;-) 


It'll be $17 and available in a week and a half!! (Friday, November 6th). Mark your calendars and get ready to satisfy both your pull towards eating more real food.... aaaaaand your sweet tooth!


I'll send out an email with the link when it's available for purchase (so make sure you’re on the list!), and you can also grab that link on social and my website starting November 6th. 

XO,
