Crunchy Apple Cinnamon and Pear Salad #StayTRU

Hi Everyone,

Since January is the beginning of the year, where you start with a fresh slate, wash away the old and start with the new, I have vowed to save money, exercise more and eat even healthier than before.  I tried so hard in the months of November and December, but the temptation of fresh-baked goods, holiday parties and too many boxes of chocolate that made their way into the house, kind of kicked me in the butt or should I say made my butt grow a couple to many inches.  So this year I am making healthier, fresher and more wholesome meals and snacks then ever before.  Now I am not perfect and every once in a while I may slip, but I hop right back on the train.  After all, if you don’t splurge and give in every once in a while, you end up in an eating frenzy and we don’t want that!!  So remember if you make a mistake you can always start over right now!!!!
Crunchy Apple Cinnamon and Pear Salad with Truvía® Natural Sweetener
I have made a few little changes this year, that I am hoping will stick. My biggest change is how many steps I take. Since January 1st, I have been wearing my pedometer and I have been getting 10,000 steps everyday. I may not walk 5 miles or walk on a treadmill, since I don’t have one, but I walk around as much as I can and I march in place while watching a tv show. No matter what I am really trying for 10,000 steps!! So far this month, I missed 2 days, which isn’t to bad. I just push myself a little harder the next day,  I am kind of goal driven.  You can do the same thing even if you don’t have a pedometer.  When your watching the news, a comedy, sports or whatever you like, just march in place while watching it.  I stepped 2.5 miles watching an hour tv show.  Not to shabby, give a try!  It may seem weird at first, but just do it!  You’ll feel good and every movement you make, your body will thank you and I am hoping eventually my thighs will too!  🙂

The other big thing I have done is eat more wholesome meals with fresh ingredients. When I go to the grocery store I fill my cart with produce. My Husband is like are you going to eat all of that! You bet I am. I have incorporated fruits and vegetables in everything! Since my 3rd goal is saving money, I don’t want to waste money on produce that I bought, so I eat it up!!! I make batches of roasted vegetables, soups, smoothies with lots of fruit and fresh salads for lunch and even for dinner. I feel really good about myself and I don’t feel so weighed down.  Since we are talking about salads, I made a super easy, tasty salad for you that is fresh, light, crunchy and has the most wonderful dressing. This is my Crunchy Apple Cinnamon and Pear Salad made with Truvía® Natural Sweetener.

The Crunchy Apple Cinnamon and Pear Salad is so delicious and fresh tasting! I have this for an afternoon snack when I am craving sweet and crunchy. I stay away from the chips, chocolate and pretzels and make this salad instead and it’s only 160 calories, which is the perfect calorie amount for a snack.  I saw this recipe on the Truvia® brand website and I couldn’t resist it trying it.

I know I do. I add a little bit in my baking, coffee and anything that requires a little sweetness.  You can buy it at your local grocery store in the baking isle.


I wanted to let you know that Truvia® brand is having a Facebook contest. Here is the scoop!

A recent survey commissioned by the Truvia® brand showed that 59 percent experience small setbacks to eating healthy, such as snacking on junk food or treating themselves to an indulgent meal. That’s why Truvia® natural sweetener is launching The Stay TRU to You Sweepstakes, which aims to give fans a chance to enter to win one of three rewards for sticking to their New Year’s resolutions. From Jan. 9, 2014 to Jan. 31, 2014 fans will have the opportunity to take the Stay TRU to You pledge, and just for doing so, each entrant will receive a Truvia® coupon in addition to having a chance at winning one of the three selected rewards.

    I love the sound of this and the crunchiness too. I’m already trying to think of ways to use this dressing on chicken. Thanks for the great ideas. I love your blog.

      The dressing would be great on a chicken salad with some fresh apples, candied nuts and goat cheese! Yum! Think I’ll do that next time.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
