One of my favorite things about summer has to be Sunday Farmer's Markets with the array of delicious (not to mention gorgeous) produce, loaded with nutrients, and just asking to be enjoyed. The phenomenal selection of freshly picked fruits and veggies is only made that much more awesome with the fact that I get to [...]
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! Holidays like yesterday are such a wonderful opportunity to spend time with the ones we love and to truly appreciate all of the blessings in our lives. In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of any holiday or celebration is sharing delicious food [...]
There is all kinds of hype around the whole organic movement. Is it something to buy into, or is it just another marketing catchword like "gluten-free" that doesn't necessarily hold any merit in terms of nutrient density?

I have a little extra time to cook, bake, and experiment in the kitchen right now since I can't train because of my neck.... This creates a bit of a conundrum, though, because eating baked goods all day when I'm not working out at all... Well, it goes without saying that that just won't do. [...]
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 [...]

The texture is great. The options are endless. So, whip up a batch and take your pick. We've had these as [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I am having some struggles with REALLY bad back, neck, and head pain. The good news is that I still had a blast working the CrossFit Level 1 Seminar this past weekend in San Jose. The participants were just so awesome, and as always, I got to work [...]
