5 June, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 17 Comments

5 tips to help you avoid falling into food ruts or get out of them when you do via @ExSloh | ExSloth.com

One of my worst habits, according to old roommates, is the fact that I overplay songs that I like. Seriously, Maroon 5’s ‘Never Gonna Leave This Bed‘ was on repeat in my apartment from 2011 to 2012.

Earlier this week I read this post on food prepping by Amy of The Little Honey Bee and it got me thinking about that one month way back in 2014 when I tried it myself.

Vegan, Dairy Free, Refine Sugar Free, Nut Free Coconut Date Energy Balls via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

As I mentioned in my post on Wednesday, I’ve found my newest obsession in homemade coconut butter. After trying it on toast and then stuffed in dates however, I was at a loss as to what to do with the rest of it. Sure, I could continue to eat it like that, or straight from

Want to make your own coconut butter? Here's my experience making this delicious vegan, dairy free butter via @ExSloth | Exsloth.com

I’m happy to report that I’m still obsessed as obsessed with Snapchat, Instagram and taking pictures of my food as I was last week.

Keeping my grocery bill down is something I’ve been working on since I started buying and making my own food way back in 2011. I had a pretty good system in place the last couple of terms, but I’ve been feeling the need to tighten up my budget even more now that I’ve graduated and

3 reasons I'm adding hot yoga to my workout routine via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com
