Last week I posted an article by Joy Bauer titled Is Stevia a Healthy Sugar Substitute? to the EBF Facebook page. It started a little conversation about natural sweeteners in the comment section so I...
We’re at the beach!!! Our friends, Heidi and Brandon, invited us to come with them to the Outer Banks this weekend and we gladly took them up on the offer. Yesterday we basically spent the whol...
Move over oats, protein pancakes are here. <– I never thought I would say it, but this is quickly becoming my new motto. While I do still love my stovetop and overnight oats, I’ve fall...

Monday fun-day, right? Hmm.. not quite, but I do have something really fun to share with you this morning. A few weeks ago I started seeing ads on Facebook for what seemed like a really cool race, ca...

I’m seriously considering buying stock in Blue Diamond Almonds. It makes logical sense considering that I love all their products and buy them on a regular basis – Unsweetened Vanilla Alm...
Despite the fact that I love seafood, I don’t have many seafood recipes posted on here on EBF. I’ve decided it’s time for that to change! To kick things off I’m sharing a deli...
First thing first, thank you for all the sweet comments about our engagement photos! You could probably tell, but I’m super excited about them. I literally can’t stop smiling when I look ...
We finally got to take our engagement photos last week. Luckily, the weather was beautiful on Thursday and everything fell into place quite nicely. Being used to the instant gratification of digital ...

Today I have a recipe to share that includes two of my favorite foods – chia seeds and strawberries. I’ve written about the benefits of chia seeds before and as most of you probably know ...
Hi friends. I hope you had a lovely weekend. Here’s a look at mine (through iphone photos)… Protein pancakes every morning – made with Sun Warrior’s new Warrior Blend, which i...
I’m one of those people who wakes up hungry for breakfast, no matter what I ate the night before. It’s so weird to me when people say that they were just too busy to eat or that they simp...
Hi friends. This is going to be a quick post because I’m on my lunch break, but I wanted to share with you the workout I did this morning because it was awesome. It’s part of the Tone It ...
I’ve talked about the cooking demos at my local Whole Foods many times so if you’re a regular reader you’re bound to know that I love them. Chef Jesse, the mastermind behind these c...

How is it already Friday? I’m not complaining, but it seems like this week flew by. I haven’t even had a chance to blog about the Virginia is for Bloggers meetup that happened last Sunday...
During the week I’m always running around like a crazy woman and come home ravenous. Because of this, I usually gravitate toward easy meals that I can throw together with things I have already ...
Yesterday I mentioned a little road trip that I was embarking on and now I can share the details. Well, some of them at least. A few weeks ago my sister, mom and niece came to Richmond and we went to...
I’m going to be blunt and say that if you’re a Richmonder and you haven’t tried Pescados yet, you’re missing out! I’m in no way judging because my first visit was just a...
Lately I’ve been using the Instagram app as a way to check-in, both for the FitFluential #PROOF campaign and as part of the Tone It Up Bikini Series. I have found these check-ins to be a fun wa...
Vacation mode is officially over and I’m happy to say that I’m back to my old eating habits. Lots of whole foods have been on the menu as of late. I don’t think I’ve eaten any...
Austin was amazing, but it feels so good to be home! I missed this little lady way too much. And after eating every meal out for a week, I was more than ready for a home cooked meal. Last night we ha...
Dear Whole Foods Market – Short Pump, I love you dearly but I have to admit I am going to be a bit sad when I return from Austin, TX. The flagship store on Lamar & 6th is glorious! The stor...

Happy Friday! I’m super excited the weekend is finally here. Not only are Isaac and I are off to Austin, TX tomorrow, but there are two holidays to celebrate as well – Passover and Easter...
Good morning friends. I hope your week is off to a good start! Thank so much for your positive reaction to my last post about gaining weight. To be honest, I was scared to hit publish but so happy I ...
How is it already April? I think I say this whenever a new month starts, but it’s just crazy how fast time flies. Weeks and months seem to go by in the blink of an eye. Speaking of time, as of ...
UGH.. I had a whole post written in Ecto, hit publish and then realized the post was blank on wordpress. Everything is gone = 2 hours of time wasted. :/ It’s already time for bed so I can’...
