WELCOME TO MY BLOG!


THE JOURNEY OF 1,000 MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP: This blog has tracked my journey shooting my first Oxygen Magazine cover and follows my prep for my first fitness competition! My goal is to eventually earn my IFBB PRO BIKINI card and to make a career of fitness modeling. I am in school for Dietetics and would like to write a nutrition column for bodybuilding.com or Oxygen online. *DISCLAIMER to the easily offended: So yes, I'm in my skivvies, which is why I'm not posting this directly on FB. I figure, "Hey- Soon you're going to be on a stage in less than a bathing suit & heels in front of your family, friends AND a room full of strangers- STARING at you. You probably need to get comfortable with people seeing your body." If you follow my FB,you know I try to pass on any inspiration I find- this blog is just an extended concept of that so stay tuned for recipes, cardio playlists and fitness secrets I learn along the way. Welcome to my blog, please let me know if you have any questions & thank you for following my progress! HAPPY TRAINING!

.:MORNING GLORY GRANOLA RECIPE:.


WARNING: anyone who tries this said it's like crack cocaine!


Ingredients:

4 cups rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup chopped walnuts/slivered almonds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup water
1 (6-ounce) package craisins-blueberry flavor is awesome(other dried fruits like cherries, raisins, pineapple are good too)

Instructions:


Heat the oven to 300ยบ. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, nuts, sesame seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the oil, honey, and water. Toss the mixture until the ingredients are well combined, then spread it evenly on a cookie sheet.

Bake the granola for 40 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring every 10 minutes to keep the mixture from sticking. Let it cool completely, then stir in the cranberries or dried fruit. Makes about 7 cups.

Great on Greek yogurt w/ fresh berries or in oatmeal for a sweet crunch!
