So I have been posting a lot of clean treats and baked goods lately (have you tried these cookies yet??), but I can assure you that I don't eat those treats all that often (though they are delicious AND fun to experiment with). They're fun to create and share, and even my clean treats always have some [...]
The process of finally starting the journey of allowing myself to heal over the past month and a half has been really rough for me for a few reasons. One, I am addicted to exercise, and letting go, taking true 100% full time off has been a struggle (imagine a whole new kind of withdrawal). [...]
A special delivery came yesterday, which provided a much needed mood-boost. Chocolate (especially Love Bean Fudge) and a good book can heal most problems, after all... So now I finally get to crack into  Liz Wolfe's book Eat the Yolks. It's as awesome as I knew it would be. A fellow English major, the girl can write, and [...]
(Note: If you want to get straight to the fudge, scroll all the way down) Now, I spent the majority of this past weekend at The CrossFit Games Northern California Regionals cheering on some of my best friends who competed both on teams and as individuals. I'll tell you what, if you ever want to [...]
Again, I use quotes here because they aren't actually made with peanut butter, but boy do they taste like it. Before, I dive in, I have to let you know something. I have NEVER liked Reese's peanut butter cups. Since I was a kid, they made my stomach hurt so bad (probably because I had [...]
As some of you may know, I am currently dealing with two herniated disks in my cervical spine. I finally went and got an MRI and EMG after about a year and half of back, neck, and now head pain, and got some answers from Dr. Millar with SOAR. I am not going to sit [...]
As promised, here is the recipe for some delicious, NUTRITIOUS bacon liver bison burgers that will seriously knock your socks off... But first, our newest kitchen gadget that has us both a little more excited than anyone should be about kitchen gadgets. Introducing the Soda Stream! *note the Against All Grain cookbook in the background. Love [...]
I have gotten a lot of questions about egg whites vs egg yolks and "what should I eat?" We get a lot of mixed information on a daily basis about cholesterol, and I think most of the blame gets thrown on the egg yolk. Poor egg yolks. The bias against saturated fat and cholesterol has [...]
So, it's that time of year again. It's time to open all the windows, pull out the shorts and tank tops, paint my nails bright colors, and.... switch from hot coffee to COLD BREW! Let's be real, bright teal nail polish just doesn't fly in the dead of winter (even a California winter where nothing [...]
Nothing beats a morning at home with Rusty, our girls, and a cup of my coconutty protein coffee... or so I thought until I tried this new recipe and this particular morning got even better! I have been experimenting with chia seeds since we got a giant bag at Costco, and so far, I freaking [...]
