Corn-free Nachos with Tasty Toppings + Mojito Drops Dessert
I may or may not be on a major Mexican kick right now. I can’t seem to get guacamole + fresh salsa in my tummy fast enough. In school, we learned quickly that when we didn’t know the answer to a question like, “list 5 foods that have Vitamin E”, or “List 3 foods that…
Baked French Onion Hummus
Thanks for all of the birthday wishes yesterday! You are such a great bunch! My birthday was filled with great things… I went out for lunch at the Coup with a couple of amazing ladies from the office, had an amazing salad with tofu, chickpeas, and sprouts, received my free coconut oil, courtesy of Averie’s…
Tuna Chard Wraps with Fresh Dill Sauce + Apple Dips
Kevin had to work late last night, so the girls and I got to enjoy another ladies night. I came home to a clean house [couldn’t be happier that I busted my buns cleaning the house over the weekend], went for a snow-in-shoe-and-socks walk in the park, and made a Summery dinner to remind myself…
No bake Raspberry Cashew Granola Cakes
Have you ever set out to do something to benefit your health only to realize it’s made you absolutely miserable? Story of my life last week. I began my yeast killing plan last Saturday with the best intentions, but by Tuesday I was exhausted, stressed, consumed by guilt, and craving anything I could get my…
Chocolate Hemp Runners Repair Bars
30 days ago I realized that having one huge fitness goal was dragging me down mentally and discouraging me from keeping up with my training. So, I opted for setting smaller goals so I could be encouraged by my ongoing progress. Let’s see how I did… Run for a consecutive 15 minutes without pain in…
Spiced Flax Balls
Hi guys! Technically I’m not “here” right now. I scheduled this post before I left just because well, I couldn’t go an entire week without sharing this recipe with you. At this very moment I’ve probably just woken up to the sound of Tibetan chimes and am preparing for a quick jog around the lake…
Chica Cherry Pistachio Energy Bars
Happy April Fools Day :) I will not get tricked today, I will not get tricked today… While I was running yesterday morning I realized that I have a little over a week until my first 10k race! This is so exciting! Yesterday I was able to complete the longest interval since my injury. I…
Cinnamon Raisin Flatbread
Yesterday was a really, really good day. It started off with a Sleepy Berry Fiberlicious Smoothie – there’s nothing like waking up and not having to measure my smoothie ingredients. Then I got to catch up on some work blog reading before heading to my Monday morning spin class. Yesterday’s class was time trials aka…
Raw Cashew Lemon Drops + Cleansing
Spring has sprung! [says the girl with 6 inches of snow on her front lawn] The birds are chirping, the cows are mooing, and our bodies are saying “please, please cleanse me!” We’ve been hibernating in our houses, eating earthy vegetables, and surrounding our organs with extra TLC [it’s perfectly normal and expected to gain…
Coconut Muffin Tops
It’s time that I explain why I LOVE coconut and use it in so many of my recipes. I wasn’t always a coconut lover. In fact I thought it was bad for you! But while studying nutrition I quickly learned that if there’s one thing we could all benefit from eating, it’s coconut [and avocado,…
