Hawaiian One Pan Pasta
Hawaiian pizza is one of our favorite pizza flavors, so I couldn’t resist giving this a Hawaiian pizza twist. Not only do I use that leftover Jones Dairy Farm Ham, but I throw in some of my favorite bacon from Jones Dairy Farm, because everything is better with bacon. A little bit of sweet from the pineapple, and melty mozzarella cheese on top puts this one pan pasta as one of my very favorites. We seriously loved this so much that I made it twice in one week!

Bacon Parmesan Gougeres (Cheese Puffs)
I have recently discontinued the hot food and snack meal plan at my son’s pre-school because he just didn’t eat and completely wasted the food on a daily basis. As a result, I have been packing lunch box and snack for him every day. For his snacks, I have been baking simple breads and cheese puffs for him, for example: cheesy garlic bread, mini monkey bread, gougeres or French cheese puffs, Brazilian cheese bread, choux pastry, etc. All these snacks are so easy to make and I can make them in a jiffy without baking up a storm in the kitchen. More importantly, we love all those breads and puffs!

The 4 Best Core Exercises for Women
When doing any exercise,the core( i.e. the back, waist and abdomen)is probably the most significant area for women. Having a strong core means that you can put less pressure on the back and spinal column areas and it allows for a toned abdomen, back and pelvic area.

Before I share with you the exercises you should be doing I just want to talk about a few common misconceptions when it comes to working out your butt.

With summer coming soon and short sleeved weather, I wanted to figure out a way to accessorize the Fitbit Flex to look a little more fashionable. Black can get very boring, plus I don't like wearing the same wristband over and over.

5 Moves To A Quick Full Body Workout
Even if you don’t have time to shower after a workout doesn’t mean you should forgo daily exercise. While sweating is a sign your body temperature is rising, sweat isn’t always necessary for an amazing workout. You can boost your energy and tone your muscles without even moving though isometric exercises — they contract your muscles while you stay in one stead position. The longer you hold each position, the more muscle fibers you recruit, thereby intensifying your workout while still leaving you sweat-free.
So the next time you’re in a rush (and without access to a shower and clean change of clothes!), try these moves:
