Starkist, HungryGirl and a "gym in the clouds"

Many of you ask for healthy recipes, which is my favorite thing to share with all of you.  But since we've been packing and preparing to move, I've slacked in the kitchen and will be sharing my own new recipes with you VERY soon!  But the good news is that I have some great recipes to share with you from StarKist Flavor Fresh Pouch and HungryGirl!  If you're not a fan of tuna, you can substitute with any other source of protein!  What I like about these recipes is that they're quick and easy!  Who doesn't love quick, easy and HEALTHY?!  

StarKist is here with two tuna-packed recipes from the go-to-expert for guilt-free food, Hungry Girl! As the temperatures have been dropping, things have been heating up in her test kitchen, and she created these two delectable dishes—

of course featuring the StarKist Flavor Fresh Pouch!

In addition to healthy recipes, I love sharing the latest and greatest when it comes to fitness!  I want to encourage ALL OF YOU to choose a workout that works for you.  A workout that you LOVE!  Something that makes you happy, and you actually look forward to it!  If you haven't found that perfect fit when it comes to exercise, then Yufit might be for you?!

Yufit would like to offer two of my readers a 60 Day trial membership and if you win, I'd love to hear about your experience!  I usually enjoy a good workout video, but over time it feels really repetitive and boring, so I'm thinking Yufit takes that away by changing up the workouts twice a week?  I can't wait to hear your thoughts...
