As the final days of 2013 are drawing to a close, many of us are probably prepping to make some changes for the coming year. Today, I want to share with you this repost (complete with a crazy-great-unique recipe) to encourage you to GO FOR IT in 2014! Change is good thing. Get some.

Where do you want to eat?” Oftentimes, it is a daily battle to stay focused on the “big picture” of staying healthy and eating “properly.” (Let’s be honest… many of us wouldn’t really have an issue with eating fried chicken, mashed potatoes and chocolate cake every day if we knew it wouldn’t lead us down a scary path!
