A great appetizer dish that is creamy, satisfying, and a sneaky way to get extra veggies into your day. It can be served warm or cold and leftovers taste great mixed in with your eggs in the morning 🙂 Ingredients: 3 cups frozen organic chopped spinach 1-2 cups fresh organic spinach 1 cup diced onion …
Can you tell…I love baking? And I love my sweets??? These cookies are easy, delicious, and above all healthy. Unlike most of my other recipes, these call for oil/butter, so this falls under the treat category for me, something that should be enjoyed in moderation 🙂 However, this is a GREAT alternative to a standard …
Chocolate + Peanut butter?? Only one of the best combinations ever! I really like this recipe because it doesn’t call for any black beans (which you need a food processor for) yet they are still gooey and very rich! The yogurt provides a great texture and added protein as well. They have a great rich …
Candied & Spiced Nuts…without any added sugar or fat??? Why yes, it’s true…and very much possible to make! Candied nuts can be very dangerous; nuts are calorie dense because of their high fat content, and then add in sugar and more fat…it can be a double threat! Thankfully this recipe is super easy and healthy …
Super, super easy to make and can be used on top of protein pancakes, muffins, whole wheat toast…be creative! You can even just eat it by itself, or chill in the fridge or freezer for a pudding/ice cream texture 🙂 Makes about 2 servings Ingredients: 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree 1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt …

Ingredients: 1 cup dry old-fashioned oats 1 cup egg whites 2/3 cup …

I competed in my first ever NPC Fitness Bikini Competition in San Diego on August 18, 2012. What a crazy, wonderful, rewarding experience! I trained for 12 weeks for the show and was extremely happy when I placed 4th! I had a tremendous amount of support from my family and friends…I couldn’t have done it …
What a weekend…! I am home and relaxing from a busy and exciting couple of days after competing in the NPC Border States show here in San Diego. This was my second contest where I competed in the Bikini Division. There were over 300 competitors, and 19 beautiful ladies in my height class! I met …
It is mid-October and here in southern California it is finally cooling down, the air is getting crisper, and Fall is now in full swing! That means…anything with PUMPKIN is a must have! This recipe can be made with other ingredients in order to make a different flavor, but I thought I would share this …
