Growing up, I never really was a fan of watermelon. I actually got disappointed when I was given a watermelon slice as a snack before lunch or dinner. I think a big reason for that was because I would way much rather indulge in creamier, richer, and thicker (crunchier) foods. I like to chew things.… Continue reading Paleo Watermelon Sorbet

Walnut Apple-Banana Cookies
Happy Monday everyone! I had a great weekend, despite my stressful Friday morning/afternoon. My husband and I spent lots of time together, which is my favorite thing ever. Spending a lot of time with my all time best friend? Nothing beats that! We spent these last two days going to the gym, working on various… Continue reading Walnut Apple-Banana Cookies
Coconut-Lime Cookies
The start of this past Friday was a very interesting one. It started with one of the most stressful mornings I’ve had in awhile. I then had to deal with a “running around like crazy” sort of afternoon. The stress was eased by a much-appreciated visit from my friends. However, their presence at the house… Continue reading Coconut-Lime Cookies
Coconut-Almond Chicken Patties
Coconut. What a delicious little gift from nature. I LOVE coconut. I think it’s because I grew up with fresh coconut. In Ecuador, we could find fresh coconut at any small market, grocery store and fruit stand. Its funny, sometimes coconut seemed to find us. While vacationing at the beach, you could see natives pushing… Continue reading Coconut-Almond Chicken Patties
Egg White Scramble (With a Veggie & Protein Twist)
Following a 12-week trainer program and having to stick to a strict diet can be very challenging. Eating six to seven times a day is…well…difficult. Not because one has to eat a lot of food (I love to eat…the more the better!) or because cooking may seem like a chore (I love cooking, it relaxes… Continue reading Egg White Scramble (With a Veggie & Protein Twist)
Spicy Bison Burgers
Bison. First time trying it ever. I was a bit intimidated by the name, not gonna lie. We never had bison at our dinner table in Ecuador. I probably never even knew people ate this animal now a days! J I was completely familiar with chicken, eggs, pork, beef, and fish…not bison. A couple of… Continue reading Spicy Bison Burgers
Pumpkin (Protein) Cakes
I just ordered an all Egg White Protein Powder from bodybuilding.com. I’ve ordered a bunch of stuff from their site before (including various types of protein), just never an all Egg White protein powder. It felt like Christmas, yet again, when I received their lovely Bodybuilding.com white box in the mail. I really haven’t heard… Continue reading Pumpkin (Protein) Cakes
Sweet Potato Waffles
Diet. One of the most important aspects of fitness. So important in fact, that even though you might run, spin, lift, and train like a maniac you wont get the results you desire unless your diet is locked in. I speak from personal experience. I used to cycle like crazy; five to six times a… Continue reading Sweet Potato Waffles
Coconut Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
I just started the Live Fit Trainer. This is the fourth trainer I do in a row! In a row! No down time…diet, after diet…gym day after gym day. That’s tough. I must be one strong and determined woman. I mean, OF COURSE I’ve had my cheat meals, times where I’ve cried when weight lifting gets… Continue reading Coconut Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Almond & Coconut Waffles
I have a couple of “small pleasure” items that make my life more enjoyable. These are things that I could live without – if I had to – but I choose to include them on a daily basis because they make life way sweeter! They bring comfort, smiles, joy, and like holidays, I can look… Continue reading Almond & Coconut Waffles
