This recipe for spicy-sweet roasted carrots can be made in the oven OR on the grill – which means it’s a great side dish for a bbq.
The cumin seeds (this week’s food of the week) give a pop of just-right spice.
If you’re grilling, seal the prepped carrots in foil and roast until tender.
At Your Fitness Coach, we believe real transformation begins when you step beyond routine. Fitness isn’t just about lifting heavier or running longer—it’s about challenging your limits and reshaping your mindset. Thinking outside the box means finding creative ways to train smarter, fuel your body better, and stay motivated when others quit. Try new workouts, explore different training styles, and embrace recovery as part of progress. Maybe it’s swapping machines for outdoor runs, trying mobility drills, or setting unconventional goals that excite you. Every small shift helps you break through plateaus and rediscover your strength. Change the game by refusing to settle for average. Push yourself, experiment, and build consistency with purpose. Your body adapts when your mind evolves. At Your Fitness Coach, we’ll help you rethink fitness—because when you think outside the box, you redefine what’s possible.
