A PARTY WITHOUT MERINGUE IS JUST A MEETING.
SUGAR-FREE AND FESTIVE?!! Turns out you CAN get that holiday cookie fix without completely destroying your training diet. These crunchy-on-the-outside and creamy and chewy on the inside treats are actually pretty healthy. Each egg white has approximately 17 calories. If you flavor them with peppermint extract (do NOT use extract with OIL..it will deflate the…

MY NEWEST OBSESSION.
I have a FAVORITE new kitchen toy. WAIT for it… My new Air Fryer (in slimming black, natch!) is sooooo easy to use and even easier to clean up! How can you go wrong with that combo?? This is a super busy week…just back in town from our Thanksgiving getaway and then on to a…
MAKING THINGS GUACWARD.
SO many HAAS, so little time… Ever buy those bags of perfect avocados from Costco and they all ripen at the same time! Well, it happened. Just like that I had a TON of green stuff to use. So, here are some ideas for you. CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MUG CAKE INGREDIENTS 4 1/2 tbsp Gluten Free flour 4 tbsp Surkin…

HATERS GONNA HATE…I DON’T CARROT AT ALL!

BAKE IT A BETTER WORLD.
I LOVE salmon! There it’s out in the open. Grilled is my favorite but, my newest obsession is to bake it in my air fryer. It’s quick and easy (400 degrees for 19 minutes) and, you can get the crispy effect that you get with grilling. The trick to this delicious recipe is the Mango-Cucumber…
CUDDLE IN A CUP.
I am a complete and total CHOCOHOLIC. There…I said it out loud. Hands up if you’re with me here! Thought so. I will never turn down a freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie (even if I’m training) and, a Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks in pretty much mandatory during the holidays. I truly believe that chocolate was created…
EGGSISENTIAL CRISIS.
Okay, just kidding about the “crisis”. But, totally serious about the “egg” portion! This Fritatta has been on repeat at our house all.summer.long. Super easy to throw together and very “forgiving” when it comes to ingredients. You can use ANYTHING you have in your fridge. ANYTHING! Today’s version…Mushroom, Sweet Potato (I’ve been on a little…
KEEP CALM and CROCK ON.
Colorado saw it’s first decent snow this week. My reaction was to run right into the kitchen and haul out the crock pot. Anyone else doing that? You know…when you get to dump stuff into it and it just “happens” in time for dinner?! Not quite in the mood for “standard” chili, I went for…
