Smelling the Roses

At TSS, our overall goal is health. Of course physical health, but we also think that there isn’t enough emphasis placed on taking care of ourselves mentally. With all of the bad weather this weekend, I was unfortunately involved in an accident on Friday afternoon. Thankfully, no one was hurt- but I think my car…

I ditched my scale

Cauliflower Crust Breakfast Pizza

This week, I decided to try the cauliflower pizza crust I’ve seen all over Pinterest.

New Year, New You…and sticking to it.

When January starts, most people are relieved and hopeful that a new year is beginning and that they have the opportunity to start with a clean slate. Resolutions can range from non-existent to extremely (sometimes overly) ambitious.

Confessions of a Carbie

  Ok. So I was one of them. I thought people who ate zucchini noodles instead of pasta were just sad liars. There was no way in my mind that a vegetable could taste as good as pasta. But now, in the infamous words of Smash Mouth- “I’m a believer.” I’m sure you’ve all seen the “zoodle”…
