For today’s December Fit Challenge, let’s move it outside! I know, it’s challenging getting outdoors in December. But there are so many benefits, it’s worth it. Even here in Arizona, I’ve been wearing my cozy puffer jacket, headband and gloves for early morning walks to the gym. And I’m hoofing it. No lollygagging when it’s […]
In case you missed it, I am posting daily in December with a fit challenge. “Fit” meaning all aspects of taking care of yourself.

A classic recipe modified with gluten-free flour and bread crumbs and using a jar of Kirkland Tuscany Marinara sauce made an easy gluten-free chicken parmesan “linner.” Using an aluminum foil baking dish made clean up easy too! One of my favs, Natasha’s Kitchen has a video and recipe for Classic Chicken Parmesan with a homemade […]

DF Shira has a lot of experience with long trips and gave me the suggestion of packing daily outfits in two-gallon storage bags, placing them in bins and then transferring daily needs […]
