It's like a virtual cookbook of quick and yummy recipes right at your fingertips! Everything you need to incorporate healthy, delicious, nutritious foods into your lifestyle!”

Austin shared some of her favorite hobbies in this blog post. She revealed that she loves pickleball. “Like so many of you, I am a pickleball convert... it's so much fun!! It's not only fun to play, but it's great for those of us over 50 - win, win! Pickleball is an aerobic workout that is easier on the joints and muscles than some other sports, plus it gets those endorphins going so you get a mood boost, too! With courts popping up everywhere, now is the perfect time to give pickleball a try. This season I plan to continue to play with my family, but also find some new people to play with too!”
4. She Grows Herbs

Austin likes to incorporate fresh herbs in her diet. In the previous blog post, she revealed that she grows her own herbs. “I don't have a large yard for a big garden, so instead I am growing fresh herbs. Basil, parsley, mint, dill, and cilantro are ones I am excited to get growing and use in everything from salad dressings and cold salads to beverages (check out my blog post on how to drink less soda and more water - herbs can help!). You can grow herbs in little pots indoors wherever you have good sunlight, and fresh herbs have nutrients and vitamins, so this spring hobby is a great one to try!”
5. She Does A Lot Of Cardio
Austin shared her fitness secrets in this blog post. She says that she incorporates a lot of cardio into her life. “Cardio is another key factor when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. And the good news is, it just takes a little bit! My goal is always 30-minutes of walking, 3-5 times per week. Make sure to push yourself and get your heart rate up, not only does cardio strengthen your heart but it will help you to burn calories too!
