Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake & Coconut Coffee Frosting

Today my husband turns twenty-seven years old. Twenty-seven! What a great number. I love that age. An age where maturity has settled, possibilities are endless and there is still hope for big dreams. My husband is a dreamer, but also a doer. He is an amazing entrepreneur who has 10 business models in his head… Continue reading Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake & Coconut Coffee Frosting

Simple Coconut Bread

I don’t know if you know how amazing coconut is. It’s nature’s gift to us. God’s gift to us! Coconut oil is fantastic for you. Coconut milk is fantastic for you. Raw coconut meat is fantastic for you. Every aspect of the coconut is great…not to mention its glorious taste! Let’s take a closer look… Continue reading Simple Coconut Bread

Paleo Rosemary Bread

I think it’s been 11 months since I’ve had a sandwich. Paleo says no grains, so I stay away from all bread. Except for my Paleo banana bread and Paleo muffins, of course. I just haven’t had the salty-tasting bread…you know, the normal kind. That’s pretty insane if you ask me. 11 months without having a… Continue reading Paleo Rosemary Bread

Carrot & Zucchini Muffins

I’m following a trainer program from bodybuilding.com. It is a three-month commitment and it’s hardcore. I love it. It’s my 3rd time around doing the same program. I don’t get bored repeating it, because every week is different. It’s pretty rad. And FREE! The program is threefold: workouts, nutrition and supplementation. This time around I… Continue reading Carrot & Zucchini Muffins

Paleo Banana Bread Topped With Paleo Nutella

This is going to be an out-of-this-world experience for your taste buds. I hope they are ready for this. How many of you like Nutella? If you have never heard of it…I am sorry, but you haven’t lived yet. If you don’t like it, then we just can’t be friends. But if you adore it… Continue reading Paleo Banana Bread Topped With Paleo Nutella

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

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

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

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
