So, get this. I did not come up with the ‘Clean it up Mondays’ idea. It was actually the boyfriend. He mentioned that I should do something similar to The Chive. He’s obsessed with that website. Along with every other male on this planet who likes to look at half naked selfie shots that women send in. You sluts, you. JUST KIDDING. Work with what you got. Anywho, his idea was to have certain days that I post certain things. Like how The Chive has hump day pictures that show half naked chicks. Well, since I don’t have half naked chick pictures to post, I thought doing something on Monday to make us healthier would suffice. And since so many of us real people tend to fall off the wagon a bit during the weekend, he thought Mondays would be a great day to post a recipe that would help you (and me) clean up our eating habits. GENIUS. He’s the greatest.
Now, Clean it up Monday also includes working out. If you haven’t joined a gym yet or started working out on your own, hopefully these Clean it up Mondays will help you out. What’s that you say? You can’t afford a gym? Don’t you worry. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, that posts new workouts daily, all workouts you can do at home on your own. That’s not true, I know the owner and he’s wonderful. And he’s ready to get you fit in your own household. And the best part of all, it’s FREE. So if you go onto Bodeefit.com, you’ll be greeted with a new email daily, telling you what workout you’ll be doing AND how to do it all with videos. Pretty rad.
Ok, enough about working out. KIDDING, LET’S TALK ABOUT MORE. Do you already workout on your own so you’re bored with this entire conversation? Well, perfect. Instead, let’s talk about some new workout songs to add to your collection. Here are some of my new favorites right now:
- I miss the misery by Halestorm
- Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke
- It’s Time – Kat Krazy Remix by Imagine Dragons
- Next to Me – James Egbert Remix by Emeli Sande
- Collide – Afrojack Remix by Leona Lewis
- Come & Get It by Selena Gomez
- Can’t Hold Us by Macklemore
- Ray Ban Vision by A-Trak
- Anything by Jason Derulo
- Anything by Avicii
Now go listen to delightful music tunes. While you’re working out. Create a happier and healthier new you.
Ok, I’m annoyed with this over-the-top happiness.

Loved this recipe..simple, flavorful…awesome for a quick midweek dinner for the kids.
yes to your Chiver bf (did you see the sweet Colorado KCCO shirts?!) and your playlist…
and to cleaning it up. getting lazy because I’m about to move and my friends gave me all this bachelor food 🙁
Halestorm- they make a regular appearance in all our workouts. They are my coach’s favorite band. Recipe looks awesome! And so simple.
Yummy! Need to give this recipe a try asap!
I tried the recipe very yummy wish my palate was not more attracted to salt and sugar than meat! I think I would have enjoyed it more. I couldn’t wait more than an hour for those sweet potatoes to cook so they were a little hard, but overall the recipe was very yummy! Love paleo cooking!
Can’t wait to try this! I got your cookbook in the mail today. When your recipes call for “hot sauce” are you referring to like a salsa or something along the lines of a Tabasco? Just not sure with some calling for up to a half a cup. Thanks!
hot sauce such as tabasco
just made these tonight and they were a big hit with my bf! thanks!
This is amazing. I made it for my husband and I tonight and a vegetarian version for our daughter. We loved them! Keep sharing the GREAT reciepes
I love the idea of “Clean it up Mondays!!” I see “Muffin Monday” everywhere but am on board for the clean eating one!
I have been craving these since seeing the pic last week and finally made them yesterday- delish! I only put in a few dashes of tabasco and substituted chili powder for the cayenne so that I could get the spice but not the heat… still super good. I’m at work eating one right this minute!
Thanks for all the easy peasy recipes. They are always no muss, no fuss.. something every girl can make.
