Keto Strong

Emily Sankuer

As of Friday I weighed in at 173, putting me down a total of 21 pounds! I am now down another jean size as well. All I can say is WOW 🙂 What is working best for me lately is sticking to the diet closely. I will admit the first month on keto I was… Continue reading Keto Strong

Frankenmuth Shenanigans!

Emily Sankuer

I used some vacation days this week and it lined up perfectly with my mom's day off, so we headed north to Frankenmuth for the night! We stopped at Birch Run Outlets first and shopped until we worked up an appetite. Then it was off to check-in at the Bavarian Inn and start our little… Continue reading Frankenmuth Shenanigans!

Cheat Weekend- Mini Vacation Edition

Emily Sankuer

For the most part I have been very good on this Keto diet. But the second my husband mentioned he wanted to check out Traverse City this weekend, I knew I had to let it go and indulge. And yes, it does make you feel sick when you go from barely any carbs/sugar to ALLLLL… Continue reading Cheat Weekend- Mini Vacation Edition

Banza

Emily Sankuer

In my efforts to be healthier, I have tried the majority of the veggie "noodles" out there. A select few I can tolerate but it seems like none of them have the right texture or taste to trick me into thinking I'm eating actual noodles. My mom gave me a box of Banza chickpea elbow… Continue reading Banza

Wonderland

Emily Sankuer

We dined at many of the specialty restaurants on board the Harmony of the Seas, but one of them stood out above the rest: Wonderland. Wonderland has an "Alice in Wonderland" theme, and the way they deconstruct/rebuild the dishes is outstanding. The flavor combinations and presentations are delightful. If you've never heard of molecular gastronomy,… Continue reading Wonderland

My Veggie Year- Week 5 & 6

Guess who's back?! I had an AMAZING vacation aboard the Harmony of the Seas. It is Royal Caribbeans newest ship- and the current biggest cruise ship in the world! From the moment I stepped onto the ship I knew it was going to be a good week. And to my surprise, there were so many… Continue reading My Veggie Year- Week 5 & 6

Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Emily Sankuer

This past weekend I was craving my favorite breakfast- pancakes! I didn't want to totally break my healthy streak so I made some easy and delicious protein pancakes. All you need for a single serving is 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 ripe mashed banana, and 2 eggs. Seriously, that's it! All you do… Continue reading Chocolate Protein Pancakes
