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.

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.

I also use it for multiple recipes, to achieve creamier… Continue reading How-to: Make Homemade Creamy Almond Butter
Paleo Watermelon Sorbet
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

However, their presence at the house… Continue reading Coconut-Lime Cookies

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
