Besides just tasting good(I enjoy eating!), I believe that most of what I eat should serve a purpose. This recipe satisfies my post-workout recovery needs, but can also pass as a stunning treat. With the ingredients used, these qualify as nutritional wonders that are decadent enough to be dessert. Perfect for a Valentine’s day treat! Because…

Double Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownies!
Once upon a time, there was a recipe. I decided to play around with it (go figure). It’s not that it wasn’t good; I was just inspired to take it in a different direction. Fast forward a bit. One idea led to another…and to multiple experiments. #Recipe rabbit trail. This is one of those recipe…
WIAW #2 + recipe
Snow cone! So…no… that’s actually NOT part of my WIAW. Yes. That was a joke. Yes. I am a nerd. I live in Alabama…and we have snow. Which I am not so much used to. I am also not used to being confined indoors for this long except by choice. But, I get 3 PAID…
PB&J Sweet Potatoes (#StrangeButGood)
I am convinced that peanut butter and sweet potatoes were meant for each other! My hubby on the other hand… not so much. When I announced this, he gave me a look that I often get from others in reference to the foods I eat (#strangebutgood). Even if you don’t agree with me on the…
Pumped-Up Hummus (#StrangeButGood)
I am always looking for a way to get the most out of my time spent in meal prep. If I can prep one item and meet two needs, it is a real time saver! I came up with the idea for this recipe in an effort to give my hummus an extra “boost” of protein….
Cottage Cheese Power Bowl(#Strange But Good)
What do you get when you combine an empty belly and a very bare fridge? Often times at my house, you get #strangebutgood. Without having a lot on hand to work with, I basically just threw together some random ingredients that sounded like they might work. The result was shockingly delicious! This happy little accident…
Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Quinoa
This is great on its own as a side dish. I have also doubled the recipe and added some chopped cooked chicken breasts to the mix for a complete meal. Feel free to try different cheeses too! I added sun dried tomato goat cheese once, and it gave it extra creaminess and flavor. Mushroom and…
Easy PB2 Cheesecakes (High Protein + Low Calorie)
Holiday treats can be difficult to resist. Don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate of an occasional planned indulgence. The holidays are a time when favorite family recipes make it worth the splurge or two. But between family, work, and friends, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s meals add up. You can easily get…
“Celestial” Spiced Apple Cider PROatmeal
I don’t usually get to eat “real” breakfasts(i.e. warm and involved) during the week. My typical weekday breakfast consists of a protein shake and another homemade protein muffin, bar, etc. That way, I can eat quickly before and after my workouts and still suit my macro needs. That being said, on the weekends, I usually…

{Bonus Recipe} Microwave Protein Scones!
I am super excited to share this recipe!! I have played with this recipe for some time now. It all started when I saw this post. I was inspired to make something similar, so I promptly defrosted some of my simple sweet potatoes, and went from there. For the first round, I stuck close to the…
Simple Sweet Potatoes {Bonus Recipe}
As a kid, I didn’t care for sweet potatoes. In fact, I didn’t actually like potatoes in general, unless of course, they were in the form of fries or tots (#no nutritional value whatsoever). I truly detested both baked and mashed potatoes. We are talking to the point of gagging on them if I was…
