Why MamaKenBFit?!?!

I am sure many of you have wondered this...Why MamaKenBFit? What's the point? The plan? The purpose? Well, let me explain why I started MamaKenBFit and what my hopes and goals are for it.  1) I have always been intrigued by all things nutrition and fitness. It is so fascinating to me how food and exercise affects not just our physical health and bodies but also our mental health, our mood, our personality, our brain and much more. Seriously, I have a box of magazine articles consisting of recipes, workout routines, health tips, etc from MIDDLE SCHOOL!  I exaggerate not when I say I've ALWAYS been intrigued by health, fitness and nutrition. It's so fascinating to me.  2) I have a strong desire to help others learn to live healthy, holistic lifestyles. Health isn't just physical. Health is mental, spiritual and physical. It's holistic. It's made up all aspects of our lives and it's important! This is the ONLY body, only life we are give and it's t...

Paleo Pancakes TWO Ways!

I have always been a breakfast eater but never really a pancake eater. I LOVE eggs, potatoes and french toast. Mmm Mmm. :) However, when I was pregnant with my son I craved pancakes like it was my job. Luckily for me, my husband is a fantastic pancake maker. I mean, seriously, he does not cook, like evverrr. But that man, boy he can make amazing pancakes and omelets....breakfast is definitely his forte...at least in the kitchen. But, sadly once lil man was born, the pancake-making stopped but my craving and love for pancakes did not. So, here we are over two years later, still loving pancakes. And believe it not, lil man loooooooves breakfast. It's the one meal I can count on him eating and loving 100%  of the time. We usually have pancakes at least once a week. So, naturally, I had to move on from Aunt Jemima and Hungry Jack to something a little yummier and a lot healthier. Here are our favorite Paleo Pancake Recipes: Paleo Banana Pancakes 1 Banana (mashed) 2 Eggs 1 T...

(and probably  hopefully you too) Well, What if I told you that I have a solution to all of your problems? Okay, well not all of your problems but I do have a solution for your berry problems. First and foremost, BUY ORGANIC! Let me repeat it again, buy ORGANIC! Listen, an extra dollar is not going to break the bank and IF it is, good thing step two is to CLEAN your berries. Why clean them? Well, even if you buy organic, you have no idea what those berries have come in contact with on their way to the store or Farmer's Market. And if you do not buy organic, well what they've come in contact with on the way to the store or Farmer's Market is the least of your concerns....can you say chemicals?! Yeah. Mmm Mmm good, right? Wrong. Lets clean that crud off so we don't ingest it. So, how are we going to clean our berries? Well, I a...
