especial.

A few weeks ago, I fell in love  with this recipe. It's not a "healthy" one, but I do splurg out of my diet every few weeks. These babies are absolutely irresistible! Unless you don't like pizza... But I don't know anybody who doesn't like pizza.  Anyway, let's build these little rolls! Serves 10 / Makes 10 Ingredients Rolls : - 1 pizza crust ( I used Pillbury's Classic Pizza Crust. ) - 40 slices pepperoni ( I used turkey pepperoni. ) - 10 sticks string cheese ( I used Fit & Active Light String Cheese. ) Glaze  : - 1/4 cup butter, melted - 1/2 tsp. salt - 1 tsp. garlic powder - 1 tsp. parsley Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out your pizza crust into a rectangle shape, and cut into 10 pieces ( I would cut in half length-wise, and then into fifths width-wise... Is "width-wise" even a word? ;P )  Place 4 slices of pepperoni, length-wise, on each 10th of pizza crust. Next, set one string...

I am going to start up my dance year once again. Except this year, I am taking 3-4 different classes, making my time at the studio a lot longer than previous years. I thought that I needed a few essentials to make my dancing worth while, so here is what I put in my dance bag ( this year. ;) ) I don't have a "dance bag" to put my things in ( pretty much because.. Well, I can't afford it ) so I just grabbed an old purse. Inside, I found these items: 1. Dance shoes. The basic essentials of dance... Tap shoes, ballet slippers, lyrical shoes; I got it. 2. Extra pairs of tights. I decided to keep two in my "handy dandy" bag. One footed, and another footless. You never know when you might  need a new pair. ;) 3.    "Dance First, Think Later" oversized shirt. I don't know... It's a dance shirt. I just thought I could slip it in the bag. 4. Black leotard + ballet wrap sweater. Some more dance essentials. Just 'cause. ...

I know this blog is beginning to provide a LOT  of recipes, but trying new things out, new recipes and clean eating, I think I should just share some of them. I haven't tried quinoa in a few years. My mom stopped making it after she realized she was allergic to it. Anyway, I thought, how about I try to make it? Maybe I'll really like it.  First of all, I had no idea that it makes so much food!!! I mean, the first time I made it, it would probably last me a week. ;) Anyway, back to the recipe. This is good to make on those days when you are craving cereal or oatmeal. Though it is high in carbohydrates, don't let that scare you! Just try to take it easy on them for the rest of the day. Eat healthy fruits, and very little high carb foods. Now, let's get on to the recipe. :) Serves 1 Nutrition Facts ( Per Serving ) Calories - 253 Fat - 2 grams Carbohydrates - 50 grams Protein - 7.5 grams Ingredients - 1/2 cup cooked quinoa - 1/4 cup milk (...

Hurrah... School will be arriving soon! This is exciting, right? Right?? Wrong. Well, at least for some of us ( I am extremely excited. ) The first few weeks feel like heaven, almost , but later on it just becomes stressful. Not only do you have to worry about homework, but also chores and activities along with it! It is so hard to find time to do your everyday events and study. Luckily, I discovered some school hacks that might  help you out. 1. Plan your outfits ahead of time. If you have a phone, please use it for something other than texting. ;) ( Bad use of sarcasm there. ) On the weekend, pick out an outfit for everyday of the next week. Take a picture of the outfit laid out. That way, it makes it easier to get up early without worrying about picking out clothes! (It literally takes me forever to pick out an outfit. ) 2. Take a break. Rest your brain. You are in the midst of a super  intense study session. Your hand is about to give out from writing and...

Yes... Another recipe, but I have to share these! ;) Not only are these high protein, but they are gluten-free! Compared to regular pancakes, these are more filling, and you can be satisfied with only 2! Easy to make, and tastes like banana bread, they are fantastic with blueberries mixed in. Personally, I prefer them with agave nectar instead of honey or maple syrup ( though any of those condiments are great) . If you wished, I'm sure mixing chocolate chips would also taste great. Serves 4 / Makes 8 Nutrition Facts ( Per Serving ) Calories - 196 Fat - 5 grams Carbohydrates - 24 grams Protein - 13 grams Ingredients - 2 eggs - 1 medium banana - 1 cup rolled oats - 10.6 oz. Greek yogurt - 1 tsp. baking powder - 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Lightly coat skillet with coconut oil or cooking spray, and heat over medium low heat. Once skillet is warm, drop batter by 1/4 cup onto pan. ...

The last few days I have been spending my free time on any type of fitness training I can get my hands on ( cardio, weight lifting, biking, etc. ) So I decided to try out this "Fitness Blender 3 Day Flexibility Challenge." I just got finished with it, and I have noticed a slight difference ( a good difference ) on my flexibility. For those of who are wanting to become a little more flexible, or are just in the mood to stretch out, I challenge you to try this out! Each video is about 30 minutes long maximum. Though you might think it's too long, just try to squeeze it into your schedule. Maybe do it right before bed, get up a little earlier than usual, do it in your bedroom, whatever you need to do. It's easy, and you don't even break a sweat! Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 I hope you accept this challenge! It made me feel great, and you should feel the same if you enjoy stretching. ;) Talk to you soon! Lots of Love ( LOL ), Josephine Frances ...
