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

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

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)

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

Salmon Parsley Patties

Living in Boise Idaho I am limited to getting my hands on good fresh fish. Yes, we do get fresh river fish, but it sort of isn’t the same. 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

Bacon-Wrapped Eggs

Eggs just go well with mornings. Don’t you think? It is everyone’s preferred source of morning protein (well almost everyone…there are some strange people out there that don’t like eggs…funny, right?! If you’re one of these people…don’t take it personal. Maybe you’ll start liking eggs once you try this recipe!). Eating eggs every morning or… Continue reading Bacon-Wrapped Eggs

Well, I LOVE sweets and I cannot believe I’ve allowed this much time to pass without sharing some recipes! On a different note…do you guys want to know something… Continue reading Blueberry Apple Muffins
