Welcome to Tara's Luscious Cheats

Tara L. Caden (TLC) is a lover…she loves God, her family and friends, animals, health and fitness, food, art, nature, and making a difference in people’s lives. Tara pours her heart and soul into everything she does, whether it’s creating amazing food, lifestyle coaching, or drawing portraits (#drawingsbytara). Tara is a lifelong athlete who lives a healthy, fit lifestyle all year round and loves to teach people how to do the same. She became a personal trainer and nutrition coach in 1996, and believes in getting healthy from the inside out by simply feeding your body healthy ingredients and moving it in ways that bring you joy. For Tara, she enjoys the thrill of competition and challenging herself, and thus has found joy competing in triathlons, duathlons, half marathons, mudruns, cycling and many 5K and 10K races. At the age of 41, after her fourth baby, Tara began her five-year journey of competing in nine bikini competitions, winning six first place trophies. It was then that she learned how to cook clean by simply using healthy ingredients, and that began her passion of creating healthy treats that she could still indulge in. Finally, in 2022, Tara’s Luscious Cheats (TLC) was born and has something to satisfy your sweet cravings.
