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
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
Cilantro Beef Burgers
Lately I’ve been really fond of protein. I think it’s because I highly appreciate all the healthy fats different meats have offered me on the last couple of weeks. When you’re working out ever day (high intensity workouts), working on marketing projects, and cleaning and cooking a bunch, you get energy drained. Carbohydrates are our… Continue reading Cilantro Beef Burgers
Beef & Veggie Patties
Our family has a very planned out monthly budget. My husband and I have thought of all the expenses we could possibly have in a month, gave them a dollar value, and added them to our Mint.com account to keep us accountable and in check ;). It is good to budget. It saves you from going… Continue reading Beef & Veggie Patties
Tuna Guacamole
One of the things I miss most about living in Ecuador is the availability of cheap produce…and the ease of produce purchase. While stopping at a red light, you could buy 25 oranges for one dollar, 5 mangoes for a dollar, or 15 tangerines for a dollar. All with just rolling down your window. Street vendors come… Continue reading Tuna Guacamole
