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.

This time around I… Continue reading Carrot & Zucchini Muffins

While vacationing at the beach, you could see natives pushing… Continue reading Coconut-Almond Chicken Patties

I usually just end up guying frozen fish or canned fish (tuna and salmon). Don’t get me wrong, I like having these options too (sometimes you… Continue reading Salmon Parsley Patties

Patacones (like Plantain Chips, but better!)
