Swoodle Everything!

Swoodle. What is a swoodle you may ask? So may red lines all in my draft because swoodle is not actually in the dictionary. So intriguing now, isn't it? Well you are in luck because today not only am I going to tell you what a swoodle is, but i am also going to show you TWO recipes you can use swoodles in!

A swoodle is simply a sweet potato noodle made from a vegetable spiralizer. Evidently my computer does not recognize spiralizer either! Click here for the spiralizer I use. And click here for the spiralizer I want to purchase next!

It all started last Fall when sweet potato prices dropped so low we could not resist in buying SIXTY POUNDS OF SWEET POTATOES. Yep. Sixty pounds. My husband and I took turns around the clock chopping and roasting, we even had to go out and invest in a deep freezer! The majority of prep we did was in the form of roasted sweet potatoes, we measured out 100g baggies and froze them for super efficient meal prep. Along with cubing, we also made sweet potato chips with a mandolin, sweet potato hash with a cheese grater, and my favorite, SWOODLES with with spiralizer! Enjoy these photos and breakfast recipes for a Swoodle Casserole and Eggs in a Swoodle!

Becoming a Pre & Postnatal Exercise Specialist: Fit For Birth Q & A

Since I was a young child, I can remember being absolutely obsessed with babies. My friends and I would treat our baby dolls like real babies - feeding them, putting them down for naps, even taking them for walks in their strollers around the block! As I got older that dream of being a mother, while still very prominent, also turned into my career. With my knowledge from Fit For Birth (FFB) and my previous education as a Holistic Health Coach, I now run a very successful business catering to none other than pregnant and postpartum moms alike! My education at Fit For Birth completely blew my mind. When I went into the program, I was expecting to learn how to train a women during her pregnancy - what I left with, however, was a very deep understanding of the woman's body during and after pregnancy, and ways to use exercise and movement to correct muscle imbalances and patterns to shift outcomes and prevent injuries. The program I completed was the Pre & Postnatal Correc...

My Journey as a Health Coach: A Review of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition

Early this November, I sat down to take my final exam for school. One whole year had gone by in a flash, I could hardly believe it. Now that it is fresh in my head, I wanted to share with you my experience with IIN and working as a health coach to see if it may be the right fit for you. After working as a personal trainer for two and a half years I wanted to go back to school for something more tangible with nutrition. My clients were asking me for nutritional advice and meal plans, I wanted to back up my education and grow even more. State to state, being coined a "nutritionist" has different requirements behind it. In some states even, you need to be a registered dietitian to be able to work with others and discuss dietary guidelines. I had a few things I was looking for: small to no commute from my home, less than two years to complete, and to stay within my budget. With those three guidelines, I set off to research all my different options. A masters degree was out ...

Instant Pot Pumpkin Bison Chili

I know it is a little early but.. who doesn't love a good pumpkin recipe? This recipe came to me while we were preparing for our move; I was trying to eat all the food in my fridge and freezer like I was trying to place first in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest! Okay maybe not that intense.. I found a bag of frozen pumpkin from pumpkin and apple picking season last year and it was just the right amount to make a chili! Score! This chili came out just the way I like it, meaty and saucy, where all the ingredients are the same size and the fat from the beef pools together with the other liquids making a savory meaty sauce. Can you taste it right now? Try out this recipe and if you do not have an Instant Pot no worries! This recipe can also be made stovetop or in a slow cooker. Tag me in your recipe creations using #HealthyAFay, enjoy! Instant Pot Pumpkin Bison Chili Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes Servings: 4-8 Ingredients: 1tbsp coo...
