The KitchenAid standing mixer is one of my favorite kitchen appliances in my house. This appliance can do so much more than mix dough. For example, I love to mix up my meatloaf and meatball ingredients in my standing mixer. I also love to use it to make guacamole.
And once you start getting some of the KitchenAid attachments, then you will have one of the most versitile appliance around.
Number 2 is actually several gift ideas in one because a cook who already has the KitchenAid Standing Mixer would love any one of these attachments. Below are a list of my favorite attachments although, if you click on the KitchenAid link you will find even more attachments available:
I like to make freezer meals in bulk, but I don’t love cutting all the vegetable at once that go into multiple recipes. The Vegetable Slicer/Shreddermakse slicing vegetable so much easier!
This is a slow cooker AND a Pressure Cooker, AND a Saute and Steamer ALL IN ONE! I have this one, and let me tell you, this thing cooks sooo evenly. My food comes out tender and flavorful!
We actually use fun shaped muffin tins like these to not only make muffins, but also to make other foods like crustless omelet muffins. I love getting fun shaped trays and pans as a gift!
We use cookie cutters every week, and we hardly ever eat cookies. We use our cookie cutters to make fun shaped sandwiches and quesadillas. I love getting unique cookie cutters! Here is an idea…does your loved one have a favorite hobby? Get them cookie cutters that relate to their hobby!
These are some of my favorite healthy and fitness products. EEk! Just looking at this list of the best health and fitness gifts I have seen gets me excited! They will surely be on my gift list! Happy gift list planning!

2. Fitbit
I am so excited about this Fitbit! Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker, Graphite/Black, One Size (S & L Bands Included)is amazing and looks cool too!

That is it! My favorite health and fitness gifts! Which were your favorites?
How to Get Coupons and Discounts When You Shop For Gifts
Lastly, I don’t want to write a shopping post without mentioning how to save money on many Amazon products plus products from a huge list of other stores. I always check three free apps before I buy anything.
These apps are Ibotta, Coupons.com, Ebates, and Swagbucks
Ibotta and Coupons.com
Ibotta and Coupons.com are very similar. I simply go to the app, select the coupons I want to use before I shop, and then I shop. I can either through the app if I am shopping online, or I can shop in a store and scan my receipt after I shop to get the rebates I selected. You can also add rewards cards to your app, and the rebates are used atomatically when you scan your store rewards card. For example, my Food Lion Card is on the app. I pick out the coupons I want to use on the app before I shop. Then when the cashier scans my card at checkout, the discounts are included.
These apps are totally free. To sign up for Ibotta, click on the link below:
I also like to use Swagbucks. For this app you get points for shopping at certain stores. These store selection is huge. I can buy all kinds of things like items on amazon or a birthday present for my daughter at The American Girl store and earn points. You can also earn points by answering daily questions and taking surveys through the swagbucks app. You can use the points to get gift cards!!! And these are legit great gift cards. You can get $25 gift cards to Amazon, Bath & Body Works, Walmart and so much more! It is pretty amazing. Start getting swagbucks as my referral by clicking on the link below:
The final app I use is ebates. You can buy all kinds of products and save. Again, this app gives you discounts to a huge number of popular stores like Kohl’s, “Bed, Bath, and Beyond”, and of course, Amazon. The list goes on and on. Whenever I am about to buy somehting online, I check this app along with the other three apps to see if a coupon or rebate is available. You can download this app as my referral by clicking on the Ebates button below.
My son really wants one of these backpacks that has a separate pocket for your soccer ball. He likes ones like this where you can actually see the ball in the backpack.
We bought this ball fr my son last Christmas, adn he loves it. It’s a little more bouncy than a regular soccer ball, but it is perfect for a fun and casual evening pickup game.
We purchased this for my son one Christmas as well because he loves playing soccer even when it is cold or rainy outside. He could play inside with this Hover Soccer Ball Set
This may just be the next thing I get my son. I haven’t shown it to him yet because I know he will start begging me for it. I mean look at it! It’s a light that looks like you have kicked the soccer ball so hard that it went into the wall! Of course my 3rd grade son would want this!!!
We have this little set, and we use it for all kinds of things. My son sometimes sets up the scene to show us his favorite plays from his soccer game that day, and we also use them as table decor when we have soccer parties. Such a neat little set!
Does your soccer player have a favorite pro player? Then they may like to get a pro players jersey. My son has the Messi jersey and wants to be Messi for Halloween.
And there it is. My top 10 favorite soccer gift ideas! I get excited just talking about it!
The struggle is real. With long school days, nightly homework, and the lure of video games, finding ways to stay healthy and active as a family can sometimes be a challenge. This is why I love searching for FUN gifts for kids that will encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.

After searching and trying out several products, these are my list of…
Top Gifts for Kids that Encourage a Healthy and Active Life
Healthy Kids Cookbooks
With ample convenient foods and busy schedules, many are cooking less and less. Many kids are no longer learning how to cook from their parents. Moreover, cooking classses are often no longer offered in schools. For some, cooking skills have become a lost art. And yet according to the American Journal of Prevenative Medicine, being able to cook and consume homecooked meals may be a key factor in nutrition resilience. In fact, accrding to a study done by The British Journal of Nutrition, teaching others how to cook may be more effective than nutriton education.
With that being said, I want to get my kids cooking with me more. So I thought it might be fun to pick up a few fun healthy cooking children’s books (Click on the images below to find the books):
2. Fun Outdoor games for the Whole Family!
Portable Games Sets
My family likes to keep a set like the Franklin Sports Yard Games Combo Set on hand. I love that all these game fit into a bag so that you can take them with you to a park, the beach, or your own backyard.
Giant Bucketball (aka Giant Beer Pong, but without the Beer)
And… Bubble sets are great for endless fun!!!! We always try to stay stocked on fun sets like this one all year round!
3. Sports Gear
And of course, you really can’t go wrong when you get your child’s favorite sports equipment. Anything from basketball goals, soccer balls, bats, rackets, or footballs. These are classics for a reason…because kids love them!
The Mr. Potato Head Hot Dash Game is NOT your ordinary Hot Potato game. This game gets you moving! In Mr. Potato Head Hot Dash Game, you have to get to the household object on the cards before the song ends. (FYI, you can play the original Hot Potato Game with this set as well for days when you don’t feel like being as active.) This is one of my kids favorite games!
Isn’t a bike one of those dream presents? Bikes and riding toys are the ultimate gift for many kids. Here are a few of my favorite riding toys and accessories.
My kids eat these family freezer meals as well. They loved them AFTER they decided to try them. My kids don’t like trying anything new, but these Kids’ Dinner Trays turns eating into a fun game!
God is in everything so although there are excellent non-faith weight loss books out there, I love it when I find high quality faith-based weight loss books and courses.
Best Chirstian Weight Loss book and courses; Faith-based weight loss
Here is a list of my top favorite faith-based weight loss books and courses:
Faithful Finish Lines Courses
Christian Weight Loss Courses
Faithful Finish Lines is run by Sara Borstede and Becky Lehman. They have both lost over 100 pounds and started Faithful Finish Lines because they wanted to share their personal weight loss success in order to help others. I love how real and authenic these ladies are. They are totally relatable and down to earth, and their courses have helped many succeed. Faithful Finish Lines has a rather large selection of faith-based courses.
These courses are developed by Brandice Lardner. I love her outlook on life and food. Her blog at gracefilledplate.com is an excellent source of information! You can also find information about her faith-based weight loss courses here. Below are a list of her weight loss courses and Bible Studies!
Did I mention, I love these Weight Loss Bible Studies!
Written by a registered dietitian, this ebook is overflowing with professional weight loss knowledge. She also includes the strategies she used in her own personal weight loss journey. This ebook combines mindfulness, faith, and effective weight loss techniques to help busy families through their healthy living journey.
Okay, I am kind of partial to this book because it’s actually my book. You see I am a dietitian who also lost substantial weight so I understand what works both professionally and personally.
Although I love to cook, trying to juggle cooking, soccer practice, dance class, volunteer meetings, work, cleaning the house, and all the other “mom duties” was just causing too much stress. We would often find ourselves grabbing take-out, going to a restaurant, going through a drive through, or eating random less healthy stuff for dinner, and yet as a dietitian, I knew needed to figure something out.
So I decided to cook it ALL AT ONCE. Let me tell you, THIS WAS LIFE CHANGING!
My family now has more energy, more family time, less stress, and we have lost weight. My family is eating dinners together, and we now have so much more free time in the afternoon. I am no longer spending my afternoons in the kitchen; instead I am now present with my children. So I do not exaggerate when I say these meals have been LIFE CHANGING.
What is included: -14 breakfast, 14 lunch, and 16 dinner healthy freezer meal recipes (most recipes last my family 2 meals so, for us, that means these meals last a whole month!) -The “What is Preventing you from Living Your Healthiest Life” interactive quiz -The Mindful Eating and Faith Guide -A Mindful Eating Demo video
“Simply Fresh: Healthy Made Simple” by Kylee Melo, RD
Although this book is not exactly a faith-based weight loss book, the beginning of this book talks about the importance of faith and even mentions what research says about the correlation of faith and health. This is a great book for vegetarians or anyone looking for more delicious healthy plant-based meals.
This is one of the first faith-based weight loss books I ever read. We actually used this book in a weekly book series at my church. This book is definitely worth the read, and a great companion for any health and fitness journey
*Here is another one written by yours truly : ) This one is not focuses on mindful eating and eating nourishing foods, more than on weight; however, several have found weight loss success after reading this book.
Written by a registered dietitian with a masters in human nutrition, The Nourishing Meal Builder helps you create nourishing meals on the spot. With the included meal builder cards, you will be able to easily combine cards to create anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, mood boosting, immune supporting meals that reduce the risk of chronic disease and promote cognitive function, focus, attention, and memory. As a faith-based dietitian, Lacy weaves the importance of faith in health throughout her book.
Faith, Mindfulness, & Nutrition
This is not a weight loss book per say, but does talk about the journey a dietitian (aka me), goes through to go from weight obsessed to feeling healthy and happy in her own body. You can read the description below:
Learn how to live your healthiest, happiest, most meaningful life through faith-based mindfulness and evidence-based nutrition. Faith, Mindfulness, and Nutrition takes you on an inspiring and uplifting journey with dietitian, Lacy Ngo. Thanks to faith-based mindfulness and nutrition, Ngo went from being weight obsessed to feeling healthy and happy in her own body. Ironically, during the process, Ngo ended up, not only losing weight, but also strengthening her walk with God. Now she feels healthier than ever AND she truly enjoys eating! She is able to feed her mind, body, and soul nourishing foods and feel good in her own body without weight obsessing. Get ready to get goose-bumps as you read this amazing true story.
As a dietitian who has a history of weight loss struggles, I am often asked to give my professional and personal opinion on what are the top keys to sustained weight loss. (You can read my weight loss story here).
This question has really gotten me thinking. What is my answer? First, we are all so different and complex. What works for one person may not work for another person. Plus we all have different goals and “healthy” does not look the same for everyone. One person may look different than someone else, but that doesn’t mean they are not BOTH healthy.
Being healthy is not about looks. Being healthy involves mind, body, and spirit. We all have areas we would like to improve. We are all continually growing and striving to live our healthiest life. In fact, growing, learning, and striving is what makes this beautiful journey called life a fun and exciting adventure.
This is why when I was in private nutrition counseling, I talked to my clients about what THEIR goals were. I tried to let the client take the lead as we talked about all aspects of life: mind, body, and spirit.
I wanted to preface again, that health and success are different for everyone and being complex human beings, one strategy may work for some people, but not for others. Dietitians are trained in motivational interviewing. With motivational interviewing, we let the client lead and try to answer client questions based on science. We help the client figure out what strategies THE CLIENT thinks will help them the most.
Why Are These My Top Weight Loss Tips?
With that being said, here are the key weight loss strategies that seemed to benefit the majority of my clients and me. These tips seem to work for many people because these strategies:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Simplify life
Require less willpower
Reduce food obsessing
Let us enjoy our food and help us with finding peace with food and out bodies.
And yes, help with weight loss
So here they are…
My Top 5 Weight Loss Tips
Create a healthy lifestyle friendly kitchen.
Notice that key tip number 3 is ‘eat at home more’. Tip number 3, however, doesn’t work as well without tip number 1.
When our kitchen is filled with delicious healthy foods, and if we eat at home most of the time, well, then we WILL eat healthy delicious foods most of the time.
There are many ways you can create a “Healthy Lifestyle Friendly Kitchen.”
Or you can learn how to organize your kitchen and have all your healthy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners prepared for the whole month in one day by reading the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook. Talk about having a healthy lifestyle friendly kitchen! All your healthy meals for the whole month are done and ready to go!
Develop a healthy and SIMPLE routine
We are all creatures of habit. We crave whatever we are use to eating or doing. So if we develop a healthy routine or habit, then we, by nature, will WANT to stick to the routine. Think about brushing your teeth. This is such a part of our routine that if for some reason we can’t brush them, we are chomping at the bits to get home and get those teeth brushed. Or if you are use to eating a snack when you watch TV; then, when the TV comes on, something doesn’t seem right if you don’t have that snack. It takes time, but if we form healthy habits, they will become so routine that we will not feel right without doing them.
When clients develop a routine that involves eating healthy meals at home; then they were more likely to notice lasting changes.
So sit down and think of what you would like your routine to look like. Write down your routine. Think about your daily life, all your obligations, and activities. Include all of these into your routine. Your routine doesn’t have to be rigid, but we naturally form routines anyway, it might as well be a healthy one.
How are you going to incorporate eating at home into your routine? Are you going to meal plan and meal prep on Sundays? Are you going to follow a healthy eating cookbook to make your meals? Or is eating at home impossible right now? What does your dining out routine look like? How can your form some heathly dining out habits?
Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals Helps with Tip #2
One strategy that has worked for me and many other busy families is cooking and freezing all your meals for a month in one day. Just like with Tip number 1, the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook is meant to help you incorporate tip number 2 (Develop a Healthy and SIMPLE routine) into your life.
In this ebook you actually learn how to make a month of meals in one day. Many of the meals are slow cooker recipes, so as part of my routine, I just simply throw a meal in the crockpot while I am packing school lunches for the kids in the morning. Dinner is done!
Customize your Routine with “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals”
This ebook also provides other specific tips that you can pick and choose to incorporate into your daily routine.
Chapter 4 provides an interactive quiz called “What is Preventing You From Living Your Healthiest Life?” Remember when I said we are all complex and what works for some may not work for others? Well, this quiz helps you figure out what specific strategies you think will work for YOUR life.
Eat at home more than you eat out.
Time and time again, this seems to be a key tip for many. The problem is many of us are too busy to find the time to cook and eat at home. I know at our house we have something going on almost every night. We have games and acrobats class on Mondays, soccer on Tuesdays, Dance, book club, and cheer on Wednesdays, and soccer and scouts on Thursday. We are on the go all the time.
Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals Helps with Tip #3
The make-ahead freezer meals in the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook have been the key way I have been able to incorporate tip number 3 into our busy life. Because I have these meals already done, our weeknights are so much less stressful, and we are eating at home so much more. Before these freezer meals, we were eating out, grabbing snack foods, or getting take out all over the place. As a dietitian who loves to cook, but couldn’t find the time, I knew I needed to figure something out. This is when I became known as the freezer meal lady, and my family is now eating so much healthier. My husband even lost 17 pounds within the first few months of switching to this freezer meal lifestyle!
Mindfully Eat
I saved this one for last because it is near and dear to my heart. Mindfully eating has helped many with portion control and weight loss while simultaneously helping them stop food obsessing and find peace with food. With mindful eating you learn how to enjoy your food instead of seeing food as the enemy. On the Mindfulness in Faith and Food blog and in the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook, you also learn how to not only enjoy your time eating, but also how to enjoy your time eating in the presence of God. You can learn how to mindfully eat by clicking here.
Find ways to be physically active on most days.
Physical activity doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym everyday. You can find many ways to be physically active. In fact, if you need some inspiration check out the posts below:
Of course, since these are the biggest keys to weight loss in my eyes, the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook discusses all 5 keys in depth. If you want to learn more about this ebook click here.

This week our whole state has been scurrying to get ready for the approaching hurricane, and my family is doing the same.
We found flashlights, made sure they all had fresh batteries, filled the bathtub with water, and bought emergency supplies. We also wanted to purchase plenty of food that you can eat that you don’t have to store in the fridge or freezer and you don’t have to cook. In other words, food you can store and eat when the power goes out.
When purchasing our emergency food, I wanted to make sure we were still getting plenty of nutrients by eating a somewhat balanced diet.
How To Stick with Your Healthy Lifestyle Goals Even at Social Gatherings
Honestly, social gatherings and parties are the hardest places for me to eat mindfully and sensibly. In fact, my overeating mostly happens at parties; however, these tips and trick have helped me and my clients eat more sensibly at parties. I hope you find some tricks that may help you too.
Instead of stressing about calories, focus on slowing down and enjoying your food. Make sure you put your fork down, slowly chew your food, and finally take a sip of your drink before picking up your fork to prepare your next bite.
Eat a healthy snack before you go to a party so that you are not starving when you get to there.
Don’t try everything at the party. Select small samples of the best at the table. Look at everything and rate the food before deciding what to get. If food isn’t a 10 then pass.
When people are bringing food, bring your own healthy food option for everyone to enjoy, and eat only your healthy food.
If the party is at your house, prepare only delicious healthy foods by using lower calorie versions of food and whole grains for your ingredients or using a healthy cookbook.
Volunteer to help so that you can do something else besides eating (Ex: blow up balloons)
Practice saying, “No thank you.” before hand.
Don’t stand near the food.
Pay attention to other joys around you, such as family and friends and the decor or environment.
Keep your hands busy by holding and sipping on a glass of water; sometimes we eat at parties just to be doing something or we feel like we want something in our hands.
Limit the alcohol; again hold a glass of water, diet soda, or diet lemonade.
Eat slowly from a plate. That way you won’t run out of food on your plate and go back for seconds. Just very slowly nibble food from your plate while you enjoy the party.
Sometimes you will eat more at a social gathering. Often times the problem is not how much we ate at the party, but more that we give up and overindulge as soon as we have eaten just a little bit more than usual. Sometimes we have an all or nothing approach. If a social gathering throws a kink into your routine, don’t just throw in the towel. Instead, focus on mindfully eating and enjoying your food slowly. You can be proud that you ate healthier than usual at a party even if you eat more than you usually do on a daily basis. For more information about mindful eating click here.
If you are looking for make ahead freezer meals that you can take to parties or eat at home, then you can find them in the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook.

Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals: How it All Started
I love to cook, but I found that I didn’t have the time to cook everyday. Trying to juggle cooking, soccer practice, dance class, volunteer meetings, work, cleaning the house, and all the other “mom duties” was just causing too much stress. There just wasn’t enough time in the day to do it all AND cook. We would often find ourselves grabbing take-out, going to a restaurant, going through a drive through, or eating random less healthy stuff for dinner, and yet as a dietitian, I knew needed to figure something out.
Why This Is Life Changing
Eating healthy family meals together was important to me, and the chaotic meals were stressing me out. So I decided to cook it ALL AT ONCE. More specifically, I decided to cook enough breakfasts, lunches, and dinners to last my family a whole month, and I decided to cook it ALL in ONE DAY! Let me tell you, THIS WAS LIFE CHANGING!
My family now has more energy, more family time, less stress, and our bodies have even started changing. My family is eating dinners together, and we now have so much more free time in the afternoon. I am no longer spending my afternoons in the kitchen; instead I am now present with my children. And because I am less stressed, I am a happier, more relaxed, and more patient mom. In other words, I am now mindfully living in the moment during the afternoons instead of running around trying to frantically figure out what to feed my family for dinner. So I do not exaggerate when I say these meals have been LIFE CHANGING.
Because I have been making them for my family and friends for so long, I have learned the tricks and tips on how to efficiently and quickly make all my meals at once. Making freezer meals has become one of my passions and joys in my life. I wanted to share that passion with others, which is why I decided to write the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals “eBook.
Mindfulness…
In this ebook, I not only show you how to cook your freezer meals, but I also discuss how to plate and eat your food using mindfulness techniques.
In Faith…
Health is not just about our body; it is about the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. In “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals,” I talk about how my faith journey has helped me live a healthier life.
And Freezer Meals…
For this plan, you spend one day out of the whole month cooking all your freezer meal… then your are DONE COOKING FOR THE WHOLE MONTH! So you cook 14 breakfast, 14 lunch, and 16 dinner freezer meals. Most of the breakfast and lunch meals are divided into serving sizes so all you have to do is grab one and pop it in the microwave! Yep! Homemade…easy…microwavable freezer meals! The dinner freezer meals are packaged family style. Meaning you make all of it at once so that your whole family can enjoy the meal together. Of course, you can always cook it and then eat the leftovers for lunches too. Each meal lasts my family for 2 meals or more, so these meals EASILY lasts us 30 days (a whole month)!
The goals of cooking all of your meals in ONE Day are:
More daily free time,
A decreased grocery bill,
Healthier meals for the whole family,
Less daily stress, and
Weight Loss/Weight Maintenance
No more worrying about what to cook or when am I going to cook each night. Since doing these freezer meals, our family is eating at home more because we are less likely to say, “There’s nothing to eat so lets just go out.”
As you can imagine, planning and prepping a months worth of freezer meals in one day is also a fantastic weight loss technique for ALL of the above reasons! Plus enjoying your food is probably one of the most important tips for lasting weight loss. These freezer meals are delicious, nutritious, easy, home-cooked meals that you can mindfully enjoy.
Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals eBook
