So lather it on to your favorite healthy dish and enjoy!
MEGAN PISCHKE’S CANCER JOURNAL // UPDATE
It’s a Friday—yay! I don’t know why I’m so excited, its not like I have a job. Actually, chemo is a job. Last week I started the weekly treatments of Paxil- something or other (Taxol), and will have 12 in total, and have already done 2. Only 10 left! And by the way things are settling in, the scheduling, all the other appointments, ect, time is flying by. And as much as I want chemo DONE, I still want time to linger a bit. I have a 22 month old wild beautiful boy, and my little girl just turned 7…there is no need to rush these years.
TASTY TUESDAYS // Elena Hight’s Strawberry Coconut Energy Bites

Cooking and baking with whole, nutritious, organic, ingredients is something that I am extremely passionate about. I hope to share some recipes with you that not only taste delicious but also will leave you filled with goodness. 🙂

As you may or may not know, Megs has been involved with B4BC for over 10 years. Beyond raising awareness, and inspiring others to lead a healthy, preventative lifestyle, she has worked towards raising funds for breast cancer survivors to attend her “ReTreat Yourself” wellness retreats for nearly 7 years. Ironically enough, Megs was diagnosed with breast cancer herself last fall.
