This recipe has been almost a year in the making. Last July Jon and I made these brownies and we’ve been talking about making them again ever since! These black bean brownies are great because they don’t have any added sugar or artificial ingredients. They are also full of healthy fat and fiber, and don't contain gluten or dairy.…

Kona Grill is one of my favorite restaurants because it has two of my favorite things: salmon and sushi. Whenever I go there I order the same appetizer and then always have a tough decision for my entree. The menu has a wide variety of options ranging from salads, sushi, chicken, and salmon. I’ve heard…
This week I was back into my routine and embracing my last few weeks at Lifetime. I started my new program and am loving it so far. It starts out light, so It was good for me to ease back into lifting after my vacation. I was so sore after my first two workouts back…
I'm finally back from Portland and had such a great vacation! It was nice to get out of my usual routine and see the other side of the country. I'll have more on the vacation later this week for you to look forward to. This week's workouts were a little different (ok, a lot different!)…
I absolutely love eating oats for breakfast. They're an excellent carb source and keep me full all morning long. I usually eat microwaveable packets because they're so convenient, but they can include unnecessary sugar (this is why they taste so good).

I've got another fully body workout for you to try on your own. What I love about full body workouts is that there's so much variety in exercises. I always like to pick my favorite exercise for each body part, but it's good to switch it up to reduce boredom and trick the body a…
Hi friends! I'm back on the blog! Last week was so crazy that I only worked out twice which is very rare for me. This week I did all 5 of my scheduled lifts, but worked out four days. Once these tax returns are filed I'll finally be able to get back into a more…
I’ve always seen people make mug cakes, but never attempted to make one until I made this. I WAS MISSING OUT! This smells and tastes just like a chocolate muffin, but is full of protein. This mug cake is super low carb and protein packed, the perfect diet food when you’re craving something sweet. This…
I always loved pasta salad as a kid, but stopped eating it when I started my paleoesque diet. I didn't eat any kind of noodle or processed food that contained gluten. I got so accustomed to eating gluten free that I never craved pasta anymore. Trader Joe's has great alternatives to pasta that are gluten…
