Paleo Coconut Mocha

I adore coffee! So much so, that I don’t go a single day without it. Sometimes having 4-5 cups a day! Here is a story that will show you how crazy addicted I am to coffee…on my last two years of college I had a coffee ritual I would not dare to break. Sometime during… Continue reading Paleo Coconut Mocha

Paleo Banana Muffins

My friend Monica is getting married this month! I am thrilled! Welcome to the club, my friend! Monica and I met during our college years…in the dorms to be exact. She was my R.A. for a while, which meant I saw Monica ALL the time. Halls, cafeteria, dorm meetings/events, you name it. She was an… Continue reading Paleo Banana Muffins

How-to: Make Homemade Creamy Almond Butter

Today, we are going to make homemade almond BUTTER! Are you excited?! I am! It’s such a delicious type of nut butter. I adore it.

Paleo Watermelon Sorbet

See? Isn't it adorable?!

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

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
