I first had a chocolate chip protein cookie at Live Beaming a few months ago. It was the best "clean" cookie I've ever eaten and so much so that Jered and I ate 4 of them. I knew it'd be awhile before I got to go back, so I've been trying to recreate that cookie experience!
Anyways, I’ll cut str...
French Toast brings me back to my childhood. It was one of my favorite dishes shared at the table when I was growing up. When I started becoming more serious about my health and fitness, protein french toast became one of my favorite recipes. Typically french toast is low in protein, however, my ...
Summer is the freaking best time, ya feel? Even though I am an adult and still working five days a week, summer forces you to slow down and take a breather. It reminds you how beautiful and simple being in nature can be. And I love it.

I've been LOVING smoothie bowls lately. They're such a great way to cool down and refuel after a tough workout, and they're just so fun! I love decorating them with all of my favorite toppings, including the AMAZING new super butters! They contain chia seeds and flax seeds which make them extra ...
I use to hate oatmeal. I use to think it was a total “grandma” food. I guess now you can say it proved me otherwise or I just turned into a grandma. Who knows?? :’) I typically cook oatmeal on the stovetop or make overnight oats since it’s easiest. However, this morning – I decided to bake it t...

Fats have been feared by a lot of individuals because the thought is that if you consume a high amount of fat in your diet that it would make you gain weight instantly. W...
When I was in grad school, I lived off of energy bites from this cozy little coffee shop down the street. Since then, I quit eating them because none have even compared to how good those were. BUT these peanut butter and jelly bites have completely changed the game. I've always been a sucker for ...
I love making protein french toast after my workouts. I wanted to change it up this week and make my french toast a little more fun by making french toast and fruit skewers with a peanut butter yogurt dip.
This also makes a great party and brunch food for the weekends. The french toast and fruit ...

If I could pick my favorite meal, it would have to be brunch. There's something so special about the fact that pretty much anything goes at brunch. Cocktails, outrageous egg dishes, fries, stacks of pancakes, and waffles topped with everything imaginable. In an effort to make one of my favorites ...
If I could pick my favorite combination of flavors, it would be a tough toss-up between banana & peanut butter, and chocolate & peanut butter. Notice a theme here? I love peanut butter more than I can even put into words. Dramatic? Not at all. Haha it's just too good! One of my favorite i...
