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!

.:NEW RECIPES: KALE CHIPS & "BOSS" BURGERS:.
INCREDIBLE CRISPY KALE CHIPS:
GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO POTATO CHIPS! If you're looking for a crunchy, salty fix- Kale may just be you new best friend. I got this recipe offline and was PRETTY skeptical- but INCREDIBLY surprised how light & crispy they are! Sprinkle some apple cider vinegar after baking & it's a healthy version of salt & vinegar chips. I don't do dairy, but I bet they'd be good baked w/ a little Parmesan cheese & garlic salt.
Ingredients
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Directions
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line a non-insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10-15 minutes.

"BOSS" BURGERS:
A classic burger that tastes great, ready in 5 min AND is healthy. Impossible!? Til' now! I eat mine bun-less with a ton of fresh garden veggies!
Ingredients
2 pounds extra-lean ground beef/ turkey
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1/3 c egg white
1 T Frank's hot sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup rolled oats
Directions
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil grate.
In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion soup mix, egg, hot sauce, pepper and oats. Use by 1/4 cup to shape into patties.
Grill patties over medium high heat for 10-20 minutes, or to desired temp. I like mine medium & flip @ 5min.

Alright girl... I'm going to try this Kale thing but I'm super skeptical. Somehow that picture just doesn't look like delicious chips to me. But I'm willing to give it a shot! Thanks for posting! :)
