No Bake Granola Cakes
Big changes are happening over on my workouts page and even bigger changes are happening with my marathon training plans. February has been a challenge for me, I was losing muscle, motivation, and forgetting why I began running in the first place. My passion was slowly exiting. A couple days ago I decided I needed…
Trail Mix Energy Squares
Holy giveaway! The mandatory entry for my snack attack giveaway is to tell me what your favorite snack in the whole world is. I’m seeing a lot of nut butter, yogurt, chobani, and more salsa and tortilla chip comments than I can count. I really need to try this Chobani stuff. I wonder if I…
Smooth and Flavorful Sautéed Veggie Hummus
Many lessons have been learned over the past couple days. Taking pictures of food before you’ve tried it can lead to disappointment. You can never make too many brownies. Unless of course you’re going on your 4th run at it in 3 days. I never want to see chocolate again, is that bad? And my…
Runners Repair Cookies
Something you don’t know about me… I was once training to become a body builder. It was a shortly lived dream though. The man I was seeing at the time didn’t like the muscles I was growing, so at his request, I stopped. Lesson: never stop pursuing your dreams for someone else, especially over something…
No bake Brownie Fifteens
I woke up this morning to a toe hole in my favourite Burton socks. I cried a little inside. I love those socks. I would have taken a picture but, let’s be honest, foot pictures? eak! On with the eats… No bake Vanilla Fifteens were a huge success, high five! [I’m such a nerd] I…
Crispy Coated Apple Fries
I am big on homemade fries with coconut oil. There was a period in my life, not so long ago, where all I’d eat for dinner were fries. Don’t get me wrong, potatoes are an amazing vegetable. They’re high in vitamin C, fiber, their easy on the digestive system, and high in vitamin b6 [great…
Apple, Spice and Everything Nice Bars
Our past weekend was filled with creativity, screws, and paint! Once we had a plan, we spent Sunday building a studio in our dining room. More details to come once the paint dries. Also – I’ve finally posted my training schedule from August to present and new marathon preparation schedule. You can read about my…
No bake Vanilla Fifteens
In a chocolate making class I went to awhile ago, it was explained that chocolate is a great delivery system for nutrients that we generally wouldn’t eat by themselves. Say, if we were to put seaweed in the chocolate as we’re making it. Seaweed is something that many people would cringe at if it were…

Bacon Wrapped Figs
I knew that if I didn’t post this recipe today there would be a hoard of people hunting me down for it. When trying these my sister said “I didn’t know what a fig looked like outside the newton” and honestly I didn’t either. This was my first go at eating and preparing figs. Needless…
