For today’s giveaway, I’ve been cooking.. or uncooking up a little something. Our dehydrator is full of macaroons, and I’d love to give them to one of you, along with some other fun holiday treats/goodies.
I’ll also be ordering a copy of “HIIT IT!” (which has ALL of my macaroon recipes inside!) for the winner, which is a favorite thing because a lot of love went into making it. I poured my heart, soul, and fitness knowledge into the pages, and am so excited to share it with you all.
Some of the things you’ll find in “HIIT It!”:
-A thorough HIIT background: how it works, and how to use it in your own routine
-FULL weekly fitness plans depending on how many days you can train each week
-Workouts that can be completed in 30 minutes or less with body weight and dumbbells alone
-My HIIT style of eating, macro counting, and delicious recipes that can be made in advance to be enjoyed throughout the week
-All of my macaroon recipes 🙂
In addition to the macaroons and book, I’ll also be including some fun holiday goodies, like teas, chocolate, peppermint bark, whatever I see that looks fun. 😉

I can’t wait to get HIIT It! – already on pre-order. 🙂 One of my favorite holiday traditions is my husband and I enjoying wine from our favorite town in Italy.

My favorite holiday tradition is driving around looking at Christmas lights with a gingerbread latte in hand!
We always do an “adopt a kid” thing to buy presents for kids who need them…it is so much fun shopping and spending extra time to wrap them specially to brighten someone’s day.
My favorite tradition is to bundle up, pour a couple of travel mugs full of coffee or cocoa, top off with a shot of festive booze (Patron XO, bailey’s, kahlua, fireball, something of that nature) and walk around our neighborhood with our dog in tow and look at Christmas lights for a few hours. It’s good exercise for us and the dog, and our neighborhood gets super into lights so there’s always interesting things to look at!
