Last summer I had heard about a magical place that had edible cookie dough in NYC. I looked at their instagram and knew I had to go there. When I visited Jon in September we tried to go, but the line was across the street and around the corner 馃槴. For the sake of our…

I can't believe it's been over two months since my Portland Trip!! (If you missed it you can catch up Day 1 & 2, Day 3, and Last days) I鈥檝e heard about Vodoo Donuts for years, and had to go when I went to Portland. I鈥檓 more of an ice cream kinda person, than donut,…
Jon鈥檚 birthday was on a Monday (June 25th), so we decided to celebrate the weekend before. In the morning we met our friends and lifted with them. I did some deadlifts while Jon benched with his bros. We went to Insomnia Cookies afterwards because I was starting to get hangry! We got the peanut butter…
Hi Friends! I鈥檝e got an easy, healthy, and delicious meal for you to try 馃構 Growing up I NEVER liked shrimp. We always had it as an appetizer when we went to family parties, and everyone always loved it but me. I鈥檝e slowly started coming to my senses and liking shrimp, I have Bonefish鈥檚 Bang…
I'm currently obsessed with this recipe! I've had a serving every day for the last week, and I'm not ashamed. I choose not to eat red meat so I have to make new recipes with turkey and chicken,聽otherwise I'll get sick of聽them and have to rely on eggs and protein powder to reach my daily…

As you all probably know by now, Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store in the world. I love everything about it except how chaotic it is in NYC, but that's not their fault. I could just wander the aisles all day long and look at the new items. Throughout the years I've established my…
I recently purchased some PES peanut butter protein powder because I heard it's the best protein for baking, and I was curious. I love peanut butter cookies, but recently I've been all about almond butter. I made this recipe so that I could satisfy my sweet tooth without busting my diet. I will say that…

Jon flew in to see me for Easter, so last Friday we had a much needed sushi date night. We hadn't seen each other for about six weeks, and during that time we always talked about getting sushi, so needless to say we were excited. We went to Shiro in Novi. I have been there…
